Staff C++ Software Engineer – Electronic Warfare

Location: Dayton / Fairborn, OH – Wright-Patterson Air Force Base area

Work Setting: 100% onsite in a secure SCIF environment; no hybrid or remote flexibility

Travel: Minimal, expected to be 10% or less

Compensation: Approximately $130,000–$186,000 base salary depending on experience and leveling

Benefits: 10% employer retirement contribution, 4+ weeks of PTO starting immediately, 100% tuition support, comprehensive medical and employee benefits, and potential sign-on assistance for qualified candidates

Security Clearance: Active TS/SCI clearance required on Day 1

Position Summary

A mission-driven research and development organization supporting U.S. national security is seeking a Staff C++ Software Engineer to join a highly technical multidisciplinary team supporting classified work in the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base environment.

This is a senior, hands-on engineering role focused on architecting and developing high-performance, scalable C++ systems for sophisticated national-security applications. You'll work alongside C++ engineers, RF engineers, ELINT specialists, cloud/database engineers, and other technical experts while helping establish architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction.

The ideal candidate is an experienced modern C++ engineer who enjoys solving complex system-level problems involving performance, concurrency, memory management, and distributed architectures while remaining highly engaged in hands-on development.

Key Responsibilities

Architect and develop scalable, high-performance, low-latency software systems using modern C++
Establish technical direction and architecture for core software platforms
Optimize system throughput, memory efficiency, resource utilization, and overall application performance
Develop production-level software in Linux environments using modern C++ practices
Design and improve distributed, concurrent, and multithreaded software systems
Identify technical debt and lead modernization and refactoring efforts across legacy applications
Establish engineering best practices, coding standards, automated testing strategies, and rigorous code review processes
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers while influencing technical practices across the team
Collaborate with software, RF, ELINT, cloud, database, and other engineering disciplines supporting complex classified programs

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience OR Master's degree with 6+ years of relevant experience
Active TS/SCI security clearance required – inactive or previously held clearances cannot be considered
Strong professional C++ development experience, ideally with C++17, C++20, or C++23
Experience designing or architecting complex production-level software systems
Strong Linux development experience
Experience with concurrency, multithreading, distributed systems, and low-level resource or memory management
Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, debugging, and performance optimization
Experience with automated unit, integration, and performance testing
Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering environment
Ability and willingness to work 100% onsite in a secure SCIF environment

Preferred Backgrounds

Electronic Warfare (EW), SIGINT, ELINT, radar, RF, intelligence, or other national-security programs
High-performance computing, real-time systems, embedded software, or other performance-critical applications
CMake and modern C++ development environments
Performance profiling tools such as Perf, Valgrind, VTune, or similar platforms
Linux kernel or system internals, OS-level scheduling, TCP/UDP, sockets, or network programming
Boost, LLVM, Abseil, Docker, or cloud technologies
CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices
Open-source contributions or demonstrated experience optimizing complex C++ applications

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a senior C++ engineer who still loves being hands-on with technically difficult software.

You'll bring deep modern C++ expertise along with the ability to think beyond individual features and influence architecture, performance, coding practices, and technical direction. You should be comfortable mentoring other engineers without needing formal management authority and enjoy collaborating with experts across multiple technical disciplines.

Most importantly, you should be motivated by the opportunity to apply sophisticated software engineering to challenging classified work with a direct national-security mission.

Why This Opportunity

Work on sophisticated classified technology supporting critical U.S. national-security missions
Join a multidisciplinary team of approximately 20–30 engineers and technical specialists
Highly technical role combining hands-on C++ development with architecture and technical leadership
Opportunity to solve challenging problems involving performance, concurrency, distributed systems, and low-level engineering
Exceptional 10% employer retirement contribution — significantly above a traditional employer match
4+ weeks of PTO beginning immediately
100% tuition support for continued education
Compensation flexibility for exceptional senior engineers, with leveling based on experience
Join a mission-focused R&D environment with a strong population of engineers, scientists, and military veterans
