Senior Software Engineer (24-032)

Chesapeake Technology International (CTI) is a rapidly growing software, systems, and operational support corporation dedicated to providing user-focused technologies for military and other security applications including spectrum dependent operations (e.g., electronic warfare and signals intelligence), tactical & unmanned systems, C4ISR, and training & simulation capabilities. We believe in the power of collaborative development, and we are committed to engineering our solutions on open, government-owned platforms, ensuring that industry proprietary tools do not stand in the way of the right capabilities being employed on the battlefield.
 
We are looking for people who are intellectually curious, self-motivated, committed to excellence, and constantly seeking to learn and grow. Our typical toolset includes the Atlassian tool suite, Git, Gradle, IntelliJ, and Slack but we strive to use the best commercial, open source, or internally developed technologies for each problem. We work in small teams where each person can impact the technical direction of the project.

Here are some examples of solutions we develop:

• Real-time geospatial visualization of spectrum, including command and control of integrated platforms/sensors
• Tools to collect, process, exploit, and disseminate large amounts of telemetry and sensor data
• Immersive 3D scenario modeling for planning, analysis, and training
• Algorithms and automation for mission planning and analysis of electronic attack platforms and equipment
