NCTE is the Navy's integrating architecture for distributed Live-Virtual-Constructive training and forms the foundation of the Navy Training Baseline and synthetic training architecture. This role contributes to software engineering activities that enable Fleet LVC training, Joint LVC training, and Unit-Level Training, delivering robust technical solutions and standards that maximize training capability at speed and low cost. What You Will Do * Design, develop, document, test, and debug applications and systems that contain logical and mathematical solutions. * Conduct multidisciplinary research and collaborate with equipment designers and hardware engineers to plan, design, develop, and utilize electronic data processing systems for product and commercial software. * Determine user needs; analyze system capabilities to resolve program intent, output requirements, input acquisition, programming techniques, and controls; prepare operating instructions. * Design and develop compilers and assemblers, utility programs, and operating systems as needed; ensure software standards are met. * Contribute to the completion of milestones associated with specific projects, following established procedures under general supervision. * Support continuous improvement of the software infrastructure and participate in technical proposals, briefings, technical reports, and user manuals. * Receive prioritized requirements from NCTE program engineering leadership and work with end users to deliver robust, maintainable software capabilities for JSAF. * Develop, enhance, integrate, and support JSAF features with a team of developers and subject matter experts. * Perform primary development on Red Hat Linux 7/8/9 using IntelliJ or relevant IDEs; implement in Java and JavaScript frameworks (Sencha ExtJS, Vue.js); use shell scripting to automate tasks and queries; leverage Git as the primary version control system. * Assist in preparing and delivering briefings, project plans, system specification manuals, technical reports, and user documentation. ## Related Videos - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [NoLoJS - Avoiding JavaScript Cruft with HTML and CSS - Aaron T.
