NASAMS Software Engineer II

Software Engineer II

Raytheon is seeking a talented Software Engineer II to join the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) team. NASAMS is a state-of-the-art air defense system that protects critical assets and population centers from aerial threats by integrating advanced radar, command and control, and missile systems. As a member of this team, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, testing, and delivering software that supports the full NASAMS system effectiveness chain, including Detect, Decide, Engage, and Destroy functionalities.

• Collaborate with team members to design, develop, test, and deliver real-time application software and tools that enable the NASAMS system effectiveness chain, including Detect, Decide, Engage, and Destroy functionalities.
• Assist in the requirements, design, development, and testing of software systems that support critical functions such as target acquisition, threat evaluation, missile firing, and terminal guidance.
• Develop, maintain, and deploy large-scale, complex software solutions for NASAMS in an agile environment, adhering to Dev Sec Ops  principles to ensure secure, high-quality, and high-frequency software deliveries.
• Participate in internal reviews of NASAMS software components and systems to ensure they meet the highest quality standards and align with program requirements.
• Contribute to the creation and maintenance of testing frameworks and best practices to enable efficient software validation and delivery using Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) concepts.
• Analyze and solve problems within defined scope, schedule, and expectations while adhering to established development practices and processes.
• Work closely with systems engineers and other team members to ensure the seamless integration of software with NASAMS hardware and other systems.
• Your contributions will directly enhance the NASAMS system's ability to provide advanced air defense capabilities, protecting critical assets and infrastructure worldwide.

What You Will Learn

• The inner workings of the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) and its integration with advanced Missile Defense Systems and/or Command and Control (C2) Systems.
• How to design, develop, and maintain high-quality software solutions for complex, real-time systems that enable critical NASAMS functionalities, including target acquisition, threat evaluation, missile firing, and terminal guidance.
• Best practices and frameworks for testing and validating robust and reliable software deployments that meet the high standards required for mission-critical systems.
• How to effectively collaborate in an Agile and Dev Sec Ops  environment, delivering secure, high-frequency software updates that keep pace with evolving customer needs and threats.
• By joining the NASAMS program, you will build the skills and knowledge to contribute to one of the world's most advanced air defense systems, while working alongside a team of dedicated and highly skilled engineers.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and 2 years or prior relevant experience unless prohibited by local laws/regulations.
• Experience with programming languages (e.g., C++, Java, Python).
• Experience with Agile and Dev Sec Ops  methodologies.
• Experience with problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. government-issued Secret security clearance is required after start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience with radar systems, command and control (C2) systems, or missile systems.
• Experience with real-time, safety-critical systems.
• Experience with software development tools such as Git, Jenkins, and Docker.
• Experience with networking protocols and data communications.
• Experience with software development for motor ignition, inertial guidance, targeting data extrapolation, seeker search, target lock-on, terminal guidance, and proximity/contact fuzing.
• Experience with designing algorithms for azimuth slew and lead angle calculations, prelaunch targeting data transfer, missile firing, in-flight updates, and mission abort capabilities.
