The cell pushes a micro-update to Marine F-35s on alert, using a frequency-agile datalink that hops channels rapidly. An Army Electronic Warfare team adds a quick spectrum hash confirming the trucks are coordinating by radio. Within under a minute, the fused picture is complete. The F-35s execute a low-visibility pass, collect precision geo-data, and return a single encrypted pulse. A partner quick-reaction force receives only the coordinates and moves in immediately. The adversaries never detect that five U.S. assets were networked so quickly. Using Collins products, secure, time-constrained networking made the tactical interdiction possible without compromising concealment or electronic signatures. The Tactical Communications & Applications Solutions (TCAS) Software/Cyber department within the Mission Systems Resilient Connectivity Products (RCP) portfolio has the Networking Technologies software team which specializes in classified secure networking military communication solutions. Our technologies provide our warfighters the ability to communicate effectively, enabling them to accomplish their missions and return home safely. We are seeking a service-oriented and challenge-driven Sr Software Engineering Manager with the leadership and technical skills to manage the engineering development and project execution of critical networking applications that will enable our warfighters to have tactical advantages in theater. This involves oversight of software engineering activities which design, develop, enhance, integrate, test, and maintain embedded software applications. At Collins Aerospace, you will work on cutting edge technology and contribute to programs that save lives and enable the freedoms we enjoy. This position requires onsite presence in Cedar Rapids, IA. What You Will Do * Balance people leadership responsibilities-such as performance management, hiring, and team development-with active participation in day-to-day engineering work * Drive technical execution by contributing hands-on to the design, development, coding, testing, and debugging of embedded software * Conduct regular code reviews and provide coaching to elevate code quality, engineering practices, and team skill growth * Demonstrate predictable program execution and continuous improvement * Oversee and participate in the development of engineering bids and proposals * Ensure compliance with Collins Aerospace development processes and standard work requirements * Collaborate across programs and engineering teams to identify efficiencies, share resources, and support the development of best practices, necessitating an ability to clearly communicate objectives and status to audiences with varying degrees of understanding of the products and technology * Develop and nurture internal and external networks, ensuring alignment and transparency with stakeholders, forging relationships with peers across RCP Engineering, Value Stream Leadership, and government customers ## Related Videos - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
