What You'll Get to Do:

The Wireless Protocol Analysis Lab is looking for a new team member passionate about building the next generation of software-defined protocol processing frameworks and applications. Our team of approximately 20 engineers comprises a mix of digital signal processing experts, large-scale application developers, and wireless protocol experts who work together to create some of the most highly optimized, software-based, platform-independent protocol processing engines in the world. Our solutions, refined and advanced over two decades of development, allow for a mix of deployment options, ranging from low-power embedded SBCs to multi-core computing clusters with FPGA and GPGPU capabilities.

More About the Role:
  • Define, design, implement, and test components of wireless protocol stacks, ranging from physical layer algorithms to layer 2/layer 3 procedures
  • Contribute to systems-level engineering discussions that reconcile the various use cases for our software in pursuit of best-in-class solutions
  • Work with customers (both internal and external to CACI) to help integrate our solutions into a wide variety of applications and use cases
  • Debug, test, and validate our capabilities using both unit tests as well as scenarios reported by our end users
  • Travel to other CACI locations and/or customer sites in the US as necessary (travel requirement is typically 0 - 15%)

  • Knowledge of wireless physical layer algorithms and their implementations, or an ability to learn and understand existing implementations.
  • Previous experience with wireless protocols (e.g., 3GPP cellular protocols, IEEE wireless standards, and/or ITU/ETSI-defined mobile radio standards).
  • Code profiling experience, ability to identify critical code paths, and offer performance optimizations based on analysis over multiple scenarios.
  • Experience using wireless test equipment in lab environments, including test setup design.

You'll Bring These Qualifications:
  • A bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical degree.
  • 5 years related work experience.
  • Experience writing software for Linux-based operating systems
  • C/C programming experience, shown through project work or code examples
  • Demonstrated ability to read and understand technical specifications, and create software-based implementations of the procedures and methods described therein
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
