IERUS Technologies is a growing, employee-owned business focused on providing leading-edge solutions across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our work supports defense and commercial customers with expertise in software development, systems engineering, and hardware design. We seek motivated engineers who thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and who want opportunities to contribute to multiple projects over time.
Position Overview:
IERUS is seeking a Software Engineer with strong C/C++ skills to support development, integration, and testing of systems for defense applications. This role will focus on National Instruments (NI) environments for test and control software, with opportunities to expand into other projects as business needs evolve. While LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW are highly relevant, engineers with solid C/C++ backgrounds can learn these tools on the job.
This position requires periodic travel to Valley Forge, PA (up to 50% during contract execution).
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, integrate, and maintain C/C++ applications for test, control, and data acquisition systems.
- Support development in National Instruments environments including LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW.
- Contribute to system verification, validation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Perform software design, coding, debugging, documentation, and unit testing.
- Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and embedded engineers to support cross-disciplinary efforts.
- Participate in peer reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards.
- Support the transition of software into integration, operational, and sustainment phases
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 2+ years of professional experience with C/C++.
- U.S. Citizenship
- Active Secret clearance.
- Familiarity with Git and modern configuration management practices.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with LabWindows/CVI or LabVIEW (National Instruments products).
- Background in FPGA development and hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL.
- Experience with embedded software development and real-time systems.
- Exposure to automated test equipment and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
- Familiarity with Agile development practices and task tracking tools such as Jira.
- Ability to support multiple projects and adapt quickly to new challenges.
Location: Huntsville, AL (up to 50% travel to Valley Forge, PA during contract execution)

Top Skills
What We Do
IERUS, at its core, is a high-end technology firm. IERUS recruits and retains a work force of highly skilled and educated engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. While IERUS’s core is electro-optics/infra-red (EOIR) and electromagnetic (EM) technology, IERUS engineers come from various backgrounds. IERUS employees are our most valuable asset, and we are committed to recruiting high caliber personnel. IERUS emphasizes creativity and fosters an environment that encourages employees to pursue technically challenging problems that fit within their interest and capability set. IERUS’s work force education ranges from bachelors through PhDs, specializing in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Math. Approximately one quarter of IERUS’s technical staff have PhDs, over three quarters hold a Masters level degree or above, and the remaining have bachelors engineering degrees. This spread means IERUS can apply in-depth technical leadership where needed but has the labor distribution base to solve problems cost efficiently.
