About L3

Harris Technologies – Maritime Power Systems: L3

Harris Technologies Power Systems is an agile defense technology innovator, delivering end‑to‑end solutions for the U.S. Navy shipbuilding programs. With capabilities in ship control systems, manufacturing, and turn‑key ship overhauls that meet customers’ mission‑critical needs.

This Systems Software Engineer will design, build, and deliver a wide range of safety‑critical, cyber‑secure power solutions to military customers, leading or participating in all stages of the systems/software development life cycle (SDLC).

System Engineering portion:
Ensure the final system meets or exceeds customer system requirements. Work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and test engineers to capture system requirements and develop traceable contract SDRL documentation, customer specifications, and operator’s manuals. Develop proposals, project schedules, and participate in customer reviews of design and test artifacts.

Software Engineering portion:
Design, develop, test, and maintain software applications and systems. Create formal software design and test documentation traceable to system requirements. Build high‑reliability, safety‑critical, cyber‑secure software with built‑in test features for mission‑critical power systems and switch gear, spanning from low‑level embedded DSP or ARM controllers (ASM/C/C++) to GUI design in C#, or other GUI‑based languages.

IRAD Development may include hardware and software prototypes for proof‑of‑concept efforts involving embedded software with built‑in test features for integration with hardware and support for final qualification testing.
