Senior Command and Control Software Engineer

About Forterra

Forterra is a leading provider of autonomous systems for ground-based movement in the working world. Amongst some of the earliest innovators in the field of driverless technology, Forterra is focused on building systems that protect front-line soldiers and enable civilian workers in our industrial base. Forterra is the go-to provider of ground autonomy solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense, which harnesses the technology for asymmetric warfare in critical conditions.

About The Role

As an extension of our core products in Command, Control, and Communications (C3) we are diving deeper into the EW space to make the systems and platforms we integrate more survivable. We are developing an Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) capability that will provide broad spectrum awareness that can aid national government off-the-shelf assets in the EMS. For communication, this will provide a real time database of inference and unoccupied spectrum to aid maneuver. For Electromagnetic Warfare (EW), this will, in parallel, provide a tip and queue interface to enable current EW and Signals Intelligence systems to more rapidly identify signals of interest driving toward an open "plug-and-play" approach with national government off-the-shelf assets.

We are looking for a senior embedded engineer to own software end-to-end on our edge devices — from the real-time signal-processing pipeline up through the data contracts and command-and-control interfaces that turn spectrum awareness into actionable, operator-facing information. You'll set technical direction on a small, fast-moving team and ship to deployed hardware.

What You'll Do

• Develop edge software and real-time pipelines in modern C++ that run on deployed NVIDIA Jetson
• (ARM/Linux) devices and support Command & Control (C2) systems
• Build low-latency, high-throughput data flows between processing stages using zero-copy IPC and pub/sub messaging...
