• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware or to improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequence of design
• Use signal processing algorithms to convert a signals
• Design signal processing software based on sparse documentation
• Lead one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
• Design / implement complex signal processing algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
• Perform quality control on products
• Confer with system engineers and software engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces
• Develop and maintain software framework to enable efficient processing of data
• Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
