Mission Software Lead: Architecting Integrated C2 Systems

Castelion Corporation; Torrance (CA); Sur place; USD 150 000 - 195 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Castelion in Torrance, CA, seeks a Lead Mission Software Engineer to define and build software that connects products into an integrated mission capability. This hands-on technical leader will own major software features, drive architecture across the mission stack, mentor engineers, and guide complex integrations from concept through flight test and fielding.

You will collaborate across weapons, launchers, C2 systems, sensors, and external platforms, defining interfaces and data models to

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Experience with C++, Rust, Python, Go, C, or similar languages.
• Experience owning and delivering complex software systems.
• Experience designing software architectures and interfaces across distributed or integrated systems.
• Experience contributing to and leading development in a production software codebase using Git, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, networking, data serialization, concurrency, and distributed systems.
• Experience developing software that interfaces with hardware, embedded systems, or external services.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
• Ability to lead ambiguous technical efforts and drive them from initial definition through implementation and test.

Responsabilités

• Lead the architecture, development, integration, and deployment of mission software across weapons, launchers, C2 systems, sensors, and mission planning.
• Own major software capabilities from early requirements and architecture through implementation, integration, test, and operational deployment.
• Develop and integrate command-and-control software connecting operators, sensors, weapons, launchers, tactical networks, and external platforms.
• Define software architectures, APIs, data models, and interfaces that allow Castelion products to operate together as an integrated mission system.
• Develop software interfaces between Castelion products and aircraft, launchers, mission computers, fire‑control systems, sensors, and government C2 systems.
• Implement communications across interfaces and protocols such as Ethernet, TCP/UDP, CAN, MIL‑STD‑1553, MIL‑STD‑1760, and other tactical interfaces.
• Translate operational concepts, system requirements, and ICDs into scalable software architectures and production implementations.
• Build tools, simulators, and test infrastructure for software‑in‑the‑loop, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, and system‑level testing.
• Lead debugging and root‑cause efforts for complex issues spanning application software, embedded systems, networks, avionics, sensors, and hardware.
• Write and review production code using modern Git‑based workflows, automated testing, and continuous integration.
• Establish strong software engineering practices around code quality, testability, interfaces, and system architecture.
• Mentor software engineers and provide technical guidance across mission software efforts.
• Partner closely with flight software, avionics, guidance and navigation, vehicle engineering, test, and integration teams.
• Work directly with government customers, platform partners, operators, and external engineering teams during integration and fielding.
• Support integration and test activities from laboratory testing through ground and flight test.
