## Description

At Intelliforce, we build mission software for environments where adaptability, speed, and technical depth matter every day. In this role, you will work as both a reverse engineer and a general-purpose CNO software engineer, helping design, develop, prototype, modify, and integrate solutions that deliver mission-focused results. You will support both quick-reaction operational needs and longer development efforts, working closely with analysts, operators, data scientists, and other engineers to turn complex mission needs into real capabilities.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work across the full problem set, not only one slice of it. You will reverse engineer, develop software, build prototypes, support fielded systems, and provide technical guidance across different products and technologies. The work is fast-moving, varied, and closely tied to real mission outcomes. It is a strong fit for an engineer who likes solving hard problems, working across teams, and building tools that have to perform in real operational environments.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your technical judgment matters. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong engineering gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another reverse engineering role. It is a chance to build and improve capabilities that support the mission now, not someday.

Here's What Your Day-to-Day Could Include

 * Augment existing toolsets to support evolving mission needs
 * Derive, document, and analyze technical and mission requirements
 * Build prototypes to demonstrate understanding of mission requirements
 * Produce end-to-end toolsets that operate within mission constraints
 * Provide technical consulting support across software products and technologies while advising customers on operational direction
 * Work closely with analysts, operators, data scientists, and software engineers to scope and deliver solutions
 * Support both quick-reaction operational efforts and longer development lifecycles
 * Participate in peer code reviews to reduce defects and improve overall software quality, At Intelliforce, we don't just push the boundaries of technology-we partner with some of the most mission-driven teams in defense and beyond to solve challenges that truly matter. As a Systems Engineer here, you won't just contribute to projects-you'll help shape outcomes that make a real-world impact., We also know that great work starts with a great environment. That's why we invest in you:
 * Ample PTO to rest and recharge-plus all federal holidays and your birthday off, just because.
 * Multiple medical plan options, including ones with zero deductible or premium for employees.
 * Generous 401(k) with immediate vesting-because your future matters now.
 * Exciting bonus opportunities, from profit sharing to quarterly awards and President's Club recognition.

 * A culture of collaboration, connection, and fun, with regular team activities that go beyond the work.
