This role may involve independent work or collaboration within a team. Responsibilities include reviewing and testing software components for design compliance, documenting test results, resolving software problem reports, and using appropriate software development and design methodologies. The Engineer will also provide input to system design decisions, such as hardware/software trade‑offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS usage, and requirements synthesis from system level to individual components.

Responsibilities

• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features
• Debug existing software and correct defects
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments
• Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories
• Make recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Write or review software and system documentation
• Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, conferring with users or system engineers; analyzing systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigating problem areas
• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project
• Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcomes and consequences of design
• Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/queries
• Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
• Design or implement complex algorithms requiring strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; perform quality control on team products
• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information on project limitations, capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces
• Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met
• Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Serve as the technical lead of multiple software development teams
• Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering
• Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects
• Ensure quality control of all developed and modified software
• Delegate programming and testing responsibilities to one or more teams and monitor their performance

Required Qualifications

• Top Secret with Full Scope Poly clearance required
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university is required; otherwise, four (4) years of additional software engineering experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted
• 20+ years of experience in software engineering programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
