Works individually or as part of a team.

• Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports.

• Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment.

• Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software tradeoffs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.

​

Job Requirements:

• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements.

• Debug existing software and correct defects.

• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards.

• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features.

• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments.

• Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.

• Write or review software and system documentation.

• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project.

• Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/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, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas.

• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance.

• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design.

• Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; 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 the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project.

• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to 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.

​

Qualifications:

• Twenty (20) years’ experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and
  complexity is required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.

• Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.

• Experience working in a minimum of two of the following: High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Cellular Protocols, Wi-Fi, Angle of Arrival (AOA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA)

​

Compensation:

Compensation will consist of a package including a base salary and complete benefits.
