- Engage in full-stack development when needed, from embedded systems to application-level software.
Required Qualifications
- Degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- Hands-on experience with software design, development, and debugging.
- Ability to design systems and clearly document and communicate technical concepts.
- Self-driven problem solver who thrives in both independent and team settings.
- Passion for prototype-to-product development.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ and familiarity with how hardware architecture impacts software performance.
- Knowledge of embedded systems and real-time application development.
- Experience with Unix-based systems (Linux, Android, iOS).
- Prior work on DoW contracts, especially tech transition.
Overall, we are looking for energetic candidates who are innovative, curiosity-driven, willing to explore new ideas, and are strong team players with excellent communication skills.
NOTE: Due to the nature of our military work, U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required for this position.
Compensation & Benefits
- Good Faith Pay Range: $80,000 – $130,000 per year. This range represents the good faith estimate of the salary MaXentric reasonably expects to pay for this position upon hire. Final compensation will be based on the candidate's specific skills, experience, and geographic location.
