Job description

Software Engineer (ISR / C5ISR / Aerospace Programs)

Build the Software Behind Mission Success

Design, develop, and deploy the systems that power real-world defense and intelligence operations.

Cambridge Automation is seeking a Software Engineer to support advanced ISR, C5ISR, and aerospace programs across Department of Defense environments. You will develop secure, scalable software systems that integrate with sensors, platforms, and mission-critical infrastructure.

This is not just coding, this is mission-driven engineering, where your software directly supports operational outcomes in high-stakes environments.

You’ll operate at the intersection of:

• Software engineering and system integration
• DevSecOps and secure software delivery
• Real-time and distributed system architectures

What You’ll Do

Software Development & Engineering

• Design, develop, test, and maintain secure and scalable software solutions
• Translate system requirements into functional designs and implementations
• Build microservices, APIs, and distributed system architectures
• Apply secure coding standards and software engineering best practices

System Integration & Mission Support

• Integrate software with C5ISR systems, sensors, and mission platforms
• Support system testing, validation, and deployment activities
• Troubleshoot defects across development, test, and production environments
• Collaborate with systems engineers on interfaces, data flows, and architecture

Agile & DevSecOps Execution

• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and sprint execution
• Support CI/CD pipelines and automated build/test processes
• Implement DevSecOps practices including automated security scanning
• Manage version control and configuration using Git and related tools

Security & Compliance

• Develop software aligned with RMF, STIGs, and DoD cybersecurity standards
• Support ATO processes and security accreditation requirements
• Identify and remediate vulnerabilities within code and systems
• Ensure compliance with secure development lifecycle (SDLC) practices
• Maintain technical documentation, design artifacts, and user guides
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and technical briefings
• Interface with Government stakeholders and cross-functional teams

What You Bring

• Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph (Required)
• 5+ years of software development experience (mid-to-senior level)
• Proficiency in one or more: Java, Python, C++, C#
• Experience working in Linux/Unix environments
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies
• Experience with Git or similar version control systems
• Strong understanding of software architecture and design patterns
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field

Preferred

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GovCloud)
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with DevSecOps tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, SonarQube)
• Experience with real-time systems, embedded systems, or data pipelines
• Exposure to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environments

• Salary Range: $140,000 – $185,000+ annually

(Commensurate with experience, clearance, and mission scope)

• Performance-based incentives
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development and certification support

• Location: APG, MD or California (NIWC Pacific / NAVWAR / NAWCWD)
• On-site / hybrid based on mission requirements
• Work in classified, lab, and operational environments
