This opportunity resides with Warfare Systems (WS), a business group within HII's Mission Technologies division. Warfare Systems comprises cyber and mission IT; electronic warfare; and C5ISR systems.

HII works within our nation's intelligence and cyber operations communities to defend our interests in cyberspace and anticipate emerging threats. Our capabilities in cybersecurity, network architecture, reverse engineering, software and hardware development uniquely enable us to support sensitive missions for the U.S. military and federal agency partners.

Meet HII's Mission Technologies Division
Our team of more than 7,000 professionals worldwide delivers all-domain expertise and advanced technologies in service of mission partners across the globe. Mission Technologies is leading the next evolution of national defense - the data evolution - by accelerating a breadth of national security solutions for government and commercial customers. Our capabilities range from C5ISR, AI and Big Data, cyber operations and synthetic training environments to fleet sustainment, environmental remediation and the largest family of unmanned underwater vehicles in every class. Find the role that is right for you.

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Mission Technologies Division (HII-MT), is seeking multi-level Radar Software Engineers to join our growing software development team supporting advanced radar systems. Junior-level candidates will work under the mentorship of senior engineers to design, code, test, and integrate software components, gaining hands-on experience with the full software development lifecycle while contributing to the creation of robust, real-time software solutions. They will collaborate closely with internal team members and external partner vendors to support development and testing activities. More experienced Radar Software Engineers will contribute more independently across the entire lifecycle, including requirements analysis, evaluation of external vendor software, architectural design, implementation, integration, testing, deployment, and maintenance. These engineers will help solve complex technical challenges, work with real-time embedded systems, and collaborate in a cross-functional environment. Together, these roles offer exceptional opportunities to grow your career while supporting mission-critical radar capabilities.

This position is located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio and is within a commutable distance from Beavercreek, Fairborn, Dayton, and Riverside.
