Job Description

Outpost Technologies is seeking a Software Engineer II to join its Test and Evaluation team in Huntsville, AL. In this onsite role, you will help build and improve a digital scoring system for remote sensing platforms, supporting development, verification, and design work for highly reliable systems.

This position centers on practical software delivery within a small team environment, where frequent internal releases and strong verification practices help reduce integration risk and surface feedback quickly. You will also work close to simulation and soft real-time execution concerns, including interactions across application, OS, and hardware layers.

Responsibilities

Develop, expand, and maintain an existing software tool suite to strengthen lethality analysis and Model and Simulation capabilities
Support software team planning for development and testing activities, including managing development life-cycle risks and understanding the value of frequent internal releases
Use critical thinking and broad modern computing knowledge to conduct peer reviews, provide constructive code feedback, and propose test approaches for verifying nominal behavior and locating failure modes through stress testing
Demonstrate experience with formal, informal, and automated verification testing for highly reliable and available code, including creating automated tests beyond unit testing (integration and system-level), with techniques such as dependency inversion and mocking
Analyze system-level requirements to propose software designs and derive detailed software requirements aligned to system goals
Communicate clearly about software designs, implementation strategies, and test strategies, contributing to open technical and process discussions to reach consensus
Design, code, and debug soft real-time systems using knowledge of:
- 6 DOF digital twin physics based simulations
- Hardware operations such as serial ports, PCI bus, and Ethernet
- Hardware-OS interactions including UART HW FIFOs, ISRs, buffer management, hardware configuration, and Linux filesystem cache or flush timing
- Application-OS interactions such as blocking vs. polling and multi-thread synchronization
- CPU performance optimization using event-driven designs instead of polling

Requirements

Must be a US Citizen
Must hold an Active DoD Security Clearance: Secret Level or Higher
Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in a relevant field (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science)
3 to 10 years of software development experience
Proficiency with C/C++/Python and Linux and Windows

Technology Stack

C, C++, Python
Linux, Windows
6 DOF digital twin physics based simulations
Serial ports, PCI bus, Ethernet
UART HW FIFOs, ISRs
Linux filesystem cache/flush timing
Event-driven designs
