This role offers the opportunity to work across the full software maintenance lifecycle, including integration and testing, while using modern programming languages and operating systems.

• Analyze and troubleshoot problem reports from fielded software systems to identify root causes and propose effective solutions.
• Incorporate software fixes into existing software baselines while maintaining stability, performance, and code quality.
• Design, develop, and unit test software components using object-oriented programming principles.
• Perform software integration activities, ensuring that updated components work seamlessly within the broader system.
• Execute software testing to validate functionality, performance, and reliability of new and modified code.
• Collaborate with team members to review code, share knowledge, and continuously improve software engineering practices.
• Document changes, fixes, and test results to support traceability and ongoing maintenance of the software baseline.
• Work within Linux and Windows environments to develop, test, and debug software solutions as needed.
• Support the evolution of existing systems by contributing to enhancements, refactoring, and optimization efforts.
• Proficiency in C++ programming, including experience writing, debugging, and maintaining production-quality code.
• Experience working with Linux operating systems in a software development or testing context.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts and their practical application in software design.
• Ability to perform software design, development, and unit testing in a structured engineering environment.
• Fundamental knowledge of software test and integration processes, including test planning and execution.
• Bachelors degree from an accredited college in a related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education.
• 03 years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent hands‑on development experience.

• Familiarity with Windows operating systems for development and testing activities.
• Exposure to graphical user interface (GUI) development and .NET technologies.
• Interest or experience in domains such as drones, data processing, and lidar systems.
• Solid engineering mindset with attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a focus on code quality.
• Ability to learn new technologies and tools quickly in a fast-paced engineering environment.

The role is based in a professional engineering environment focused on maintaining and enhancing complex software systems. You will work with a variety of technologies, including C++ and other modern programming languages, within both Linux and Windows operating systems. Daily work involves using standard development tools for coding, debugging, integration, and testing, as well as collaborating with other engineers to resolve issues in fielded systems.

The environment emphasizes structured software processes, thorough documentation, and rigorous testing to ensure reliability and performance. Typical working hours follow a standard full‑time schedule in an office or lab setting, with appropriate technical equipment and resources provided to support effective software development and maintenance.
