The Role
Develop and maintain high quality scientific software using modern C++ practices across various domains including space awareness and high performance computing.
Summary Generated by Built In
We hire smart Scientists and Software Engineers who love to create and maintain high quality, extensible code using modern C++ practices.
Support software development in the following domains: computer vision and image processing, image simulation, laser or high-power microwave source generation and effects modeling, atmospheric modeling, computational electromagnetics (CEM), space domain awareness (SDA), high performance computing (HPC), computer aided design (CAD) tools, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques, among others.
Minimum Requirements:
Desired:
Experience in any of the following is a plus:
A representative sample of your code may be requested early in the evaluation process, e.g. something you've written for work, for a class, or for fun. It should be long enough to help evaluate your programming and software engineering skills.
