Responsibilities

• The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect integrates software/simulation components that connect FlightSafety training devices to the JSE via the GRID network protocol in a virtualized/cloud environment.
• This includes implementing message production and consumption logic, and verifying correct integration against a common data model.
• The engineer executes the a test harness suite of service active tests and supports Wireshark packet capture (.pcap) file parsing to validate data flow between the simulator and middleware services.
• The developer supports SCARS compliance activities, including applying On Premise Equipment (OPE) integration standards under the SCARS Architecture Standard, Increment 5, and contributing to verification activities.
• The developer participates in Requirements Verification Report (RVR) activities and maintains traceability between implementation work and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs).
• The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect contributes to the implementation and operation of the internal JSE/SCARS integration lab — both virtual and classified, as required — and builds DevSecOps pipelines for JSE/SCARS‑related software deliverables, including version control, automated testing, and documentation in compliance with the SCARS DevSecOps Process Standard.
• The developer also supports the application of cybersecurity controls in accordance with the SCARS Common Security Controls Standard and coordinates with the cybersecurity team on Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance activities.
