Software Engineer, Sentry Software (Ground Based Air Defense)

Not every Sentry Tower does the same job. The same core platform that watches a perimeter for people and vehicles also underpins our ground-based air defense variants, where the tower's mission is detecting and tracking aircraft, and the sensor payload, the radar integration, and the configuration all shift accordingly. We're hiring a Software Engineer to develop and own the software for those variants, funded by and delivered to our Air Defense program.

The threat they exist for is the cheap, fast, hard-to-see aircraft that has changed what defending a fixed site means. Detection has to happen with enough time left to do something about it, which puts the burden on how well the payload, the tracking, and the configuration actually work together on a real tower.

You will work in the same declarative NixOS platform the rest of the team builds on, owning your variants' slice of it: product configuration, radar and camera payload integration, networking, manufacturing test hooks, and the software update path. Some of this is new feature work driven by program requirements, and some of it is consolidation, because these variant configurations grew up separately from our modern platform base, and moving them onto it means understanding both well enough to prove nothing was lost in the move.
