Senior C++ Software Engineer - Defense Systems Integration

Senior C++ Software Engineer | Defense Systems | 100% Remote

💰 $140,000 – $180,000 Base + Bonus + Relocation Assistance

🛡️ Defense & Mission-Critical Systems

🕒 Full-Time | Direct Hire | 100% Remote

We are hiring multiple Senior C++ Software Engineers to support advanced Command & Control (C2) software and operational radar/sensor integration programs within a highly mission-critical defense environment.

This is not a radar design or signal processing role. We are looking for software engineers who have experience integrating existing radar and sensor systems into operational C2 environments, processing radar measurements or tracks, supporting sensor fusion, and maintaining real-time mission software.

Candidates with experience supporting air defense, command and control systems, tactical sensor integration, ISR, battle management, or operational defense software are highly encouraged to apply.

Why This Opportunity?

✔ Mission-critical defense programs

✔ Complex C2 and radar/sensor integration software

✔ Large-scale production C++ development

✔ Modern software engineering environment

✔ Strong compensation + bonus potential

✔ Excellent long-term program stability

Outstanding Benefits

✔ 86% Employer-Paid Medical Premiums

✔ 401(k) with 4% Match

✔ 4 Weeks PTO Starting Day One

✔ 11 Paid Holidays + 6 Floating Holidays

✔ Employer-Paid Life Insurance (2x Salary)

✔ Strong Engineering Culture & Team Environment

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain high-performance C/C++ software on Linux

• Integrate existing radar and tactical sensor systems into operational C2 software

• Process radar measurements, radar-generated tracks, and sensor data

• Support track management, correlation, sensor fusion, and situational awareness capabilities

• Integrate legacy radar and sensor interfaces into modern software architectures

• Troubleshoot complex system-level software, latency, and real-time integration issues

• Collaborate with software, systems, and customer engineering teams to support deployed operational systems

Required Qualifications

✔ 6+ years of professional C/C++ software development

✔ Strong Linux development experience

✔ Experience working in large production software codebases

✔ Experience integrating radar or sensor systems at the software level

✔ Experience processing radar measurements, tracks, or sensor outputs

✔ Experience supporting operational Command & Control (C2) systems or mission systems

✔ Strong debugging, multithreading, and performance optimization skills

Highly Preferred

✔ Air Defense or Missile Defense experience

✔ Multi-sensor integration or sensor fusion

✔ Track management or track correlation

✔ Legacy system integration

✔ RS-232, TCP/UDP, or custom tactical interfaces

✔ Defense or Aerospace software development

✔ Active or recently held Security Clearance

Nice to Have

✔ Docker

✔ Kubernetes

✔ Git

✔ Jenkins or GitLab CI

✔ CMake

✔ Modern C++ (C++17/C++20)

✔ DDS, ActiveMQ, or similar middleware

If you've built production C++ software that integrates radar or tactical sensor systems into operational Command & Control (C2) environments, we'd love to connect.
