Lead Software Engineer – Electronic Warfare

About the role

As the Lead C2 EW engineer, you will serve as the technical authority, collaborating closely with the chief EW engineer to translate complex RF physics into high-level command and control functionalities. You will be responsible for integrating advanced EW capabilities into the Minerva C2 stack, evolving the software architecture to handle sensor fusion and advanced data visualisation.

What you'll do

• Act as the lead architect and developer for EW Command and control, ensuring seamless integration between EW subsystem and the command stack.
• Lead the design and development of both Typescript based UX integration and potentially High Performance C++ data post-processing.
• Develop algorithms for sensor fusion to provide unified situational awareness and design advanced data visualisation tools for complex RF telemetry.
• Act as the technical bridge between the EW core system and the command and control system, ensuring constraints and abilities are accurately reflected in the user model.
• Take ownership of the EW software C2 roadmap and eventually recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing team.
• Define rigorous integration testing protocols to ensure system reliability in highly contested, real-world EW environments.

What you'll need

• Expert-level proficiency in modern software development, likely including but not limited to TypeScript and C++.
• Solid understanding of system-level architecture, including backend and frontend development, including performance and memory management tradeoffs.
• Proven experience in complex system-level development.
• Strong interest and understanding visualizing and manipulating complex data sets.
• Ability to communicate structured technical visions to stakeholders, combined with the desire to both lead an effective engineering team and individually contribute to the codebase.

Nice to have

• Strong understanding of RF or Physics, paired with professional software engineering experience.
• Prior experience with defense command and control software.
• Hands-on experience with jamming theory, threat-driven RF effects, or EW tactics.
• Familiarity with advanced data visualisation frameworks for real-time telemetry.
