• Develop and enhance mission planning, data visualization, automation, monitoring, and analysis capabilities.
• Collaborate with engineers, operators, and mission stakeholders to translate operational needs into effective software solutions.
• Participate in software architecture, interface development, and system integration activities across distributed environments.
• Leverage AI-assisted coding and software development tools to improve development speed, code quality, maintainability, and engineering effectiveness.
• Support evaluation, prototyping, and potential development of AI-enabled applications to enhance mission planning, data exploitation, decision support, automation, and operational insight.
• Troubleshoot software issues, analyze system behavior, and implement improvements to reliability and performance.
• Support real-time mission execution and post-mission analysis through software engineering expertise.
• Contribute to modernization initiatives by evaluating new technologies, frameworks, development approaches, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, test artifacts, and configuration-managed deliverables.
• Follow disciplined software development, cybersecurity, and quality assurance practices appropriate for mission systems.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Python, C++, Java, or C#.
• Experience developing, integrating, and sustaining software in complex operational or technical environments.
• Experience using AI-assisted coding or software development tools as part of an effective engineering workflow.
• Understanding of software architecture, APIs, data flows, testing, and configuration management.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance.

• Experience with test range systems, missile defense, space operations, or mission software.
• Familiarity with real-time or near-real-time data processing and visualization environments.
• Experience with distributed systems, networked applications, or sensor integration.
• Knowledge of AI/ML application development, data pipelines, model integration, or human-in-the-loop decision support tools.
