Spear Research is an engineering research and development company that supports U.S. Government customers. Our team is composed of highly motivated engineers with a broad mix of domain experience in Radar, EW, SIGINT, and Communications. Our engineers are experts in signal processing, novel algorithm development, big data analytics, hardware design and development, and integration and test. We innovate in areas that traditional defense contractors may consider higher risk, using rapid prototyping to yield advanced technologies for insertion into upgrade and/or new development programs.

Our business environment is centered on team members driven to deliver the best value for our military and intelligence services. Our team is empowered to innovate, build our competitive edge, and discriminate our capabilities. We have established an excellent reputation in our professional community and need to grow our team to take advantage of new opportunities.

We are seeking talented Software Engineers to join our team who can both design algorithms and write excellent code. We are seeking an engineer who can distill complex requirements into a well-documented design, and is proficient at crafting code that is testable, maintainable and reusable. Our existing products include elements of real-time processing, complex mathematics, distributed systems, and highspeed computing. Our projects are highly diverse, and our needs continue to evolve providing ample opportunity for our team to grow in new areas of development. The ideal candidate should be comfortable learning new skills, and teaching others.
