• Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces and queries
• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, conferring with users or system engineers, analyzing system flow, data usage, and work processes, and investigating problem areas
• Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve 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 algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints, and perform quality control on team products
• Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on the project
• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces
• Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met
• Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects
• Serve as the technical lead of multiple software development teams
• Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering
• Ensure quality control of all developed and modified software
• Delegate programming and testing responsibilities to one or more teams and monitor their performance
