Key Responsibilities and Contributions

As a Software Engineer in our EMSO team, you will play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and deploying sophisticated software solutions that enhance our electronic warfare test capabilities. You will work alongside a team of talented engineers and scientists to create cutting-edge systems that aid our most important defense customers, and their missions. You will be part of a diverse, high-profile team within a high growth area for the company that has projects and results visible to senior leaders of Keysight.

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer with a specialization in Navigation and Trig Algorithms for the development of a real-time simulation application for our Aerospace Defense & Government Solutions group. This will require the use of modern SW development platforms and technologies (100GbE+ networking, RDMA, gRPC, etc) to meet the demanding performance requirements. Bring your special talent to an entrepreneurial team and enjoy the freedom to create products through innovation and invention. As an experienced engineer on a growing team, there will be many opportunities for career development, as well as to help mentor and train junior level engineers.

You will use Quaternions and multiple coordinate systems in specifying software modules and writing algorithms. Including the following:

• ECEF: Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system, a cartesian spatial reference system
• Lat, Long, Altitude: GPS coordinates
• NED: North East Down for aircraft positioning
• Snap, crackle, Pop physics: derivatives of the position vector with respect to time - with the first, second, and third derivatives being velocity, acceleration, and jerk, respectively
