Software Engineer; Clearance Required

This is not a remote or hybrid position. All work is performed on-site within a SCIF at Columbia, MD or Annapolis Junction, MD.

We are seeking two cleared Software Engineers (Level
2) to support software development and full life cycle testing of mission systems on TTO4 within the FURIOUS RAPTOR program at Columbia, MD / Annapolis Junction, MD. This is an on-site position in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) environment requiring a TS/SCI clearance with an active Full Scope Polygraph prior to consideration - no exceptions.

The selected engineers will be Software Engineers performing as Software Test Engineers on a development team. Required experience supports software development and full life cycle testing of mission systems including the design, development, and maintenance of test plans, cases, and processes; the creation and maintenance of test environments and automated test capabilities; the performance of Integration & Testing (I&T) and Acceptance Testing;

and the reporting and tracking of problems through their resolution. Working knowledge of test automation using Python, performance/load/stress testing, data interface testing, user interface testing, security testing, code coverage tools, and systems integration testing is required. Experience related to the installation, configuration, management, and enhancement of software applications, LINUX systems, and connected network components is also required.

This role works individually or as part of a team to review and test software components for adherence to design requirements, document test results, resolve software problem reports, and apply software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. The engineer also provides specific input to the software components of system design - including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS use in lieu of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.
