• Aircraft flight software
• Simulated mission systems
• Laboratory setups that combine constructive simulations, physical hardware, and system‑level models

Your core responsibilities include:

• Lead and mentor a team of integration engineers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and best‑practice standards.
• Develop, integrate, and debug software across the above platforms, ensuring solutions meet mission‑critical performance and safety requirements.
• Own and optimize CI/CD pipelines, implementing reliable, repeatable builds and fostering a continuous‑delivery culture.
• Architect and enhance virtual development labs and aircraft‑software processes, driving scalability and usability.
• Design and implement automation tools using open‑source, commercial, and in‑house solutions, championing reusable frameworks.
• Coordinate cross‑functional efforts, acting as the technical liaison with mission‑system experts, simulation specialists, and stakeholder groups.

• A proven leader with deep domain expertise in mission‑system software or high‑fidelity simulation software.
• A collaborative team player who thrives in high‑performing, multi‑program environments and can inspire others to solve complex problems.
• An effective communicator with strong written and verbal skills, comfortable engaging with customers, senior stakeholders, and cross‑organizational teams.
• Experienced in architectural decision‑making, performance profiling, and setting integration standards for aerospace or defense software.

• Bachelor’s degree or above from an accredited college/university in a STEM discipline (or equivalent experience)
• C++ or Java programming experience
• Linux/Unix experience
• Hardware troubleshooting and/or software debugging
• Experience leading a team of engineers

• Experience with software integration, debugging, and system‑level testing.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, Git Lab, Azure Dev Ops).
• Proficiency in scripting/automation languages (Python, Bash, Power Shell, etc.).
• Knowledge of aircraft or mission system software development cycles.
• Exposure to simulated environments and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing.
