• You possess a solid theoretical and algorithmic foundation, with experience in mathematical and/or geospatial applications and the ability to analyze and design solutions for algorithmically complex requirements.
• You have demonstrated adherence to the full SDLC (requirements, design, implementation, code review, verification), version control best practices, and quality standards in an ISO 9001‑compliant environment (or similar).
• You demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills and collaborate effectively across engineering, technical publications, and cross‑functional teams.
• You take ownership of deliverables, proactively resolve roadblocks, and communicate timelines and risks to technical leads or managers.
• You are able to obtain and maintain the required security clearance.
• You have experience in defense or aerospace domains and familiarity with marine navigation concepts/systems.
• You have experience leading technical work (e.g., task delegation, scope breakdown, mentoring) and/or acting temporarily in a design authority capacity.
• You have hands‑on experience developing real‑time interfaces to external systems and supporting customer site/ship visits.

What success will look like in this role

• You will deliver high‑quality, standards‑compliant C/C++ code, actively participate in peer reviews, and maintain traceability in version control.
• You will translate requirements into detailed designs and specifications, keeping design and technical documentation current as systems evolve.
• You will estimate, plan, and decompose technical work; meet project schedules and budgets; and highlight risks and mitigation strategies early.
• You will troubleshoot and resolve defects and customer tickets, prioritizing usability, safety, and security concerns.
• You will mentor and guide junior engineers (e.g., onboarding, buddy program), fostering strong team morale and engineering excellence.
• You will contribute to cross‑functional deliverables, including reviews of technical publications and support for sales or multidisciplinary teams as a subject matter expert.
• You will champion continuous improvement—recommending and helping roll out upgrades to development guidelines, tools, and standards.
• You will follow environmental, health & safety procedures and ensure compliance with OSI’s ISO‑9001 quality system and documented processes.
