• Complex Development: Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints.
• System Design & Integration: Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information on project limitations, capabilities, and interfaces.
• Quality Control: Perform quality control on team products and implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards.
• Analysis & Modification: Design, develop, and modify software systems using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcomes. Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve performance.
• Installation & Monitoring: Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met.
• Documentation: Write or review software and system documentation.
• Database Interaction: Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces and queries.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in the field of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or related field is required or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Fourteen (14) years of experience as a Software Engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a Bachelor’s degree.
• An active TS/SCI with Polygraph.
