• Device driver development
• SPI devices, serial communications, ADCs/DACs
• Custom devices implemented in FPGA fabric
• Graphical User Interface development
• Build environment support/maintenance
• Application software development/deployment, including:
• Image processing and object tracking software
• Embedded software to operate and control high-performance camera systems and zoom optics covering the visible through infrared spectrum. 
• Support for operational test, checkout, and verification of robotic control systems for gimballed telescopes that include electro-optical and radar payloads
• Support delivery, field test, and customer capability demonstrations of our Acquisition, Tracking, and Pointing (ATP) systems
• Work closely with system architects/firmware engineers during development of SoC platform software, primarily for image processing and object tracking applications
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions
