We're looking for a Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of embedded systems, RF environments, and mission-critical software. This isn't a desk job, it's a hands-on technical role where you'll architect solutions, write code that runs on actual hardware, and see your work deployed in the field.\nWhy This Role is Different\nReal Impact: Your code powers Electronic Warfare systems that advance national security\nTechnical Ownership: Become a subject matter expert on core embedded systems, not just a cog in the machine\nCross-Functional Innovation: Collaborate directly with DSP engineers, hardware designers, and M&S experts\nLab-to-Field: Participate in testing, data collection, and validation, not just development\nCutting-Edge Tech: Work with SDRs, modern systems languages (Rust/Go/Zig), and next-gen RF architectures\nWhat You'll Actually Do\nDesign and develop embedded software for EW and RF sensing systems\nArchitect HW/FW/SW partitioning for calibration algorithms and processing structures\nBuild and integrate software for software-defined radios (SDRs) and RF front-ends\nTranslate Electronic Warfare concepts (EA, ES, EP) into deployable capabilities\nImplement system models in C and MATLAB for optimal performance\nCollaborate with FPGA and hardware teams to integrate real-time algorithms\nPrototype operational capabilities, not just PowerPoints\nShape the product roadmap through direct interaction with Engineering Leadership\nSupport proposals and white papers for new opportunities\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust-Haves:\nBachelor's degree in CS, EE, Physics, or related field\nMust have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued Security Clearance . U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a Security Clearances.\n6+ years designing signal processing for EW systems\nStrong proficiency in C/C++, MATLAB, Python\nExperience with modern systems languages: Rust, Go, or Zig\nHands-on experience with SDRs and RF data pipelines\nWorking knowledge of Electronic Warfare concepts and RF/analog components\nFamiliarity with DSP concepts and Linux development environments\nExcellent communication skills and ability to thrive in cross-functional teams\nBased in Dayton, Ohio (up to 20% travel)\nBonus Points:\nMaster's degree with 3+ years of experience\nExperience with GNU Radio or similar frameworks\nBackground in SIGINT, ELINT, or radar systems\nFamiliarity with Open Architectures (OMS, FACE standards)\nExposure to FPGA/firmware interfaces (VHDL/Verilog)\nInterest in REDHAWK, LabView, or Simulink\nAbout Us\nAt Tangram, we're transforming how our nation solves complex software challenges. Our solutions enable innovators to design, develop, verify, and advance critical systems, accelerating delivery of technologies that protect national security.\nWe don't just build software. We build systems that work in the real world.\nLocation & Logistics\nWork Location: Dayton, Ohio\nTravel: Up to 20%\nReady to Make an Impact?\nIf you're tired of theoretical work and want to build real systems that matter, we want to hear from you. Apply now and join a team where your expertise shapes the future of Electronic Warfare.\nTangram is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3460,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T17:05:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":83,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.827,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T03:13:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4264,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4392218},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4392218"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftangram-flex-radio-frequency-software-engineer"}]}
