Kash,
Import the .hgt (its a .bil) into any  COTS RS/GIS package's native 
format. If its 3-arc SRTM3, line/samples is 1201*1201, 3602*3602 for 
1-arc, no data value = -32768, xdim, ydim = 0.000833333 (3-arc), 
filename references lower left coordinate value i.e. N42W079.hgt. Files 
are 1deg by 1deg. From there, export to 16S GEOTIFF. Byte order is 
motorolla. swap bytes on windows side.

Hope this helps,

Karl
