Position: Software Developer (C/C++) with Security Clearance
Responsibilities Program Overview and Responsibilities The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Voice Switch and Recorder (VS&R) Program Office manages seven different programs that provide critical voice communications and legal recording systems that perform critical, high availability Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications within the FAA's National Airspace System (NAS). The VS&R Program Office is responsible for acquisition of modern Internet Protocol (IP) ATC Voice Communications Systems (VCSs), which includes development of requirements, procurement, verification, validation, testing, implementation and deployment.

The VS&R Program Office also manages the full life cycle sustainment and logistics for the existing legacy ATC VCSs that are currently in use throughout the NAS. The Software Developer will provide on-site support to the FAA Security Team and Technical Team at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace to help the FAA achieve technical milestones for verification, validation, test and deployment of modern IP-VCSs and Air-to-Ground Protocol Converters (APCs).

This Software Developer will support the VS&R team in full stack software development and testing of in-house validation and simulation tools and support enhancement and testing of the VS&R Program ED-137 Voice over IP software library. This resource will participate in Agile requirement reviews, design reviews and development sprints and learn about the VS&R lab network capabilities, protocols, interfaces, software and hardware requirements.

Activities will include developing system requirements, design, development, documentation, as well as verification and validation of software system requirements including traceability and testability. This resource will also work in C++, Java, Python and other languages, design tests, select tools/methods, provide software integration, and analyze Problem/Trouble Reports PTRs). Additionally, the Software Developer will ensure that software and QA projects and documentation are compliant with requirements and client needs.
