Why Join Rincon Research Corporation (RRC)?
At Rincon Research Corporation, our primary business is innovating, developing, and fielding digital signal processing (DSP) products and services for the United States Defense and Intelligence Communities in support of national security.
Rincon Research Corporation (RRC), an employee-owned company, is seeking an Jr. Software Engineer to work in a multi-disciplinary R&D environment with similarly motivated electrical engineers, mathematicians, and analysts who are collectively responsible for creating custom digital signal processing solutions and leveraging them to make an operational mission impact.
Come join the team that is creating cutting edge signal processing and geolocation systems for the future!
Candidates must be available for a potential on-site interview on October 7 and 8 at our Centennial facility.
What are the primary responsibilities in the Software Engineer position?
Core responsibilities include designing real-time cloud processing solutions, implementing advanced signal processing and geolocation algorithms with efficient software, testing with real data, and providing applications to front-line customer facilities. You create effective user interfaces and data visualization tools. A key responsibility is staying up-to-date with the latest technologies, tools, and methodologies and experimenting with new technologies to incorporate innovative solutions into RRC projects. RRC personnel can expect to work across all functional areas: systems engineering, development, integration and test, deployment and O&M, and experience the direct mission feedback from the customer and seeing your project provide real-world contributions that make a significant difference. You’re encouraged and expected to propose things that you believe will improve the applications and frameworks you’re working in.
