Job Description

Senior Software Designer - L3HARRIS
About the Role
Our software teams work directly with our optics and hardware teams - developing code that manages all of our systems controllers and actuators, telephoto lenses or targeting & tracking systems - and in particular, code that allows those captured images to be defined and managed. We develop advanced real time software for various applications and processors, including new payloads like complex imagers, laser illuminators & targeting designators, range finders and trackers. We develop the embedded controls and user interfaces for complex electro-mechanical systems including remote I/O subsystems, custom lens controllers, and advanced video processing features.
Primary Responsibilities
Algorithm design, prototyping and implementation:

• Work with Senior Engineers to research solutions to difficult Engineering problems.
• Model, simulate and evaluate potential algorithms using Matlab, Python and C/C++
• Work with department stakeholders to create algorithms that meet architectural and implementation constraints
• Assess algorithms for real-world, embedded performance
• Produce requirements and design documentation as required
• Develop models for algorithms in accordance with Departmental Practices
• Assist in the development of test and verification plans as required
• Support implementation of current generation and next generation algorithms in target hardware
• Work with design Engineering to integrate and debug algorithms as required
• Follow trends in both industry and academia (GPU's, FPGA's, computer vision, machine learning etc)
• Provide input to and attend design reviews for projects associated with algorithm development
• Participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) meetings as required

Required Capabilities

• C/C++ coding
• Matlab/Python for algorithm development
• Reading and understanding IEEE style research papers
• Modelling and simulation of complex algorithms
• Design and implementation of complex algorithms
• Digital signal and image processing techniques
• Computer vision
• Familiarity with Machine learning and pattern analysis, neural networks, digital hardware design, VHDL, and target tracking systems is an asset
• Meets the requirements of the Controlled Goods Registration Program and is eligible for a Canadian government security clearance

Desired Education and Experiences

• Bachelor of Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent science discipline. Relevant Masters or postgraduate degree is an asset
• Minimum 6 years of algorithm design and implementation experience
