Jobs at STR

Leads advanced reverse engineering and vulnerability research for cyber-physical systems. Responsibilities include analyzing software and firmware binaries, developing automated binary-analysis tools, researching vulnerabilities, creating exploits and payloads, developing mitigations, leading multidisciplinary teams, and presenting technical findings. The role also supports proposal development and customer-facing technical marketing for national security programs.

Design, develop, optimize, and test real-time acoustic signal-processing algorithms for distributed undersea systems. Implement embedded software across low-SWAP, ARM, DSP, and server-class hardware while meeting stringent performance requirements. Collaborate on hardware integration and validation using C/C++, Python, MATLAB, Linux, Git, containers, and Jira. The role requires embedded systems, signal processing, hardware-interface, optimization, and debugging expertise, plus an active security clearance and eligibility for special access programs.

Summer 2027 internship opportunities are available across sensors, intelligence, cyber, analytics and command-and-control, systems, operations, and corporate functions. Interns should be enrolled in a BS, MS, or PhD program, demonstrate strong academics and research interest, and be able to obtain a security clearance. The program offers competitive pay, housing at the Massachusetts site, alternate-site bonuses, flexible hours, and summer activities. Roles support advanced defense, intelligence, cybersecurity, sensing, communications, electronic warfare, and artificial intelligence research.

Designs, develops, integrates, tests, and demonstrates autonomy algorithms and software for unmanned platforms and mission systems. Provides technical leadership and mentoring across the software lifecycle, develops backend-focused algorithmic applications, supports system and system-of-systems architecture, and collaborates with research scientists to transition mathematical concepts into production software. Work includes mission planning, automated control, DevSecOps, CI/CD, code quality, Agile execution, and team leadership.

Integrate and test advanced RF hardware and software systems in laboratory, software-in-the-loop, and field environments. Develop hardware test sets, test software, plans, and procedures; execute testing against system requirements; document results and metrics; support technical reviews and briefings. Collaborate with development and systems engineering teams to integrate verification artifacts into Digital Engineering and MBSE workflows.

Lead development of advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms for radar and RF sensing/electronic warfare. Design and implement models and simulations, lead small teams and projects, support proposals and business development, and collaborate to deploy prototype RF systems. Requires deep technical expertise in signal processing, ML, and systems prototyping with strong communication skills.

Design, develop, and deploy advanced software systems using systems engineering and MBSE. Derive and document requirements from incomplete software implementations, create SysML models in Cameo, perform capability gap analyses, and maintain traceability across the systems lifecycle. Collaborate with domain experts and software teams on mission planning, ISR management, and decision-support applications. The role requires an active DoD Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility and supports a hybrid work environment.

The Senior Software Engineer will lead technical discussions, develop innovative software solutions, mentor junior engineers, and enhance data communications systems. They require 5+ years of experience and programming skills in Python, C, and C++.

Lead development of real-time C/C++ software for RF sensor systems, including CUDA-accelerated signal processing, embedded and distributed computing, multi-core CPU/GPU optimization, open architecture compliance, testing, documentation, technical reviews, customer briefings, proposal support, and cross-functional integration. The role requires Secret clearance eligibility, substantial software engineering experience, and approximately 20% travel for integration and field demonstrations.

Lead a 10+ person accounting team to manage financial accounting, technical and cost accounting, tax, SOX controls, monthly/quarterly close, POC/EAC for government contracts, audit readiness, and build SEC-ready reporting.

Lead small multidisciplinary teams to design, integrate, and test RF and sensing systems (radar, EW, signal processing). Define requirements, perform trade studies, develop test plans, conduct over-the-air demonstrations, validate performance via simulation and measurement, and prepare design and test documentation while coordinating with mechanical, firmware, software, and systems engineers.

Manage end-to-end federal procurement lifecycle for defense and government programs in compliance with FAR/DFARS. Lead supplier qualification, source selection, negotiations, and vendor relationships. Use ERP and purchasing systems, apply export control knowledge, mentor staff, drive process improvements, and leverage AI-enabled tools to improve efficiency, cost, schedule, and performance.

Design, simulate, integrate, and test RF hardware systems for space-based sensing and electronic warfare. Perform trade studies, bench/unit tests, over-the-air demonstrations, system integration and verification, collaborate with signal processing teams, and produce specifications, test plans, and performance reports.

Lead development and application of advanced signal processing, detection, classification, and machine learning algorithms for radar and RF sensing/electronic warfare. Engage customers, lead multidisciplinary teams, translate capabilities into requirements, develop prototypes and demonstrations, and support business development and proposals.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop technologies for signals exploitation, perform data analysis, and implement algorithms while collaborating with project teams.

The Senior IT Support Specialist resolves complex hardware, software, and network issues, manages IT resources, and provides exceptional support to users.

Researches, develops, evaluates, and integrates AI and machine learning models for national security applications. Analyzes multimodal datasets, including text, imagery, geospatial, time series, and social media data, to identify patterns and generate intelligence insights. Collaborates with researchers, engineers, domain experts, customers, and end users; communicates findings, defines requirements, responds to feedback, and mentors teammates. Work primarily occurs onsite in Woburn, Massachusetts, or Arlington, Virginia.

The Senior DevOps Engineer will establish CI/CD infrastructure for embedded systems, manage deployment environments, and support software development teams with automation and testing frameworks.

The Senior RF Hardware Engineer will design and implement RF hardware systems, collaborate on multi-disciplinary teams, and support testing and deployment of advanced RF systems.

Lead the development of technology products and manage research programs focused on algorithm and software solutions for national security. Collaborate with government customers and oversee all program phases including business capture and execution.
