## Description

Plans, conducts, and coordinates software development activities. Designs, develops, documents, tests, and debugs software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment. Applies the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development life cycle. Applies knowledge of computer hardware and software, subject matter to be programmed in business/mission applications, information processing techniques used, and information gathered from system users to develop software. Corrects program errors, prepares operating instructions, compiles documentation of program development, and analyzes system capabilities to resolve questions of program intent, output requirements, input data acquisition, programming techniques, and controls. Ensures software standards are met., This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career software engineer to gain hands-on experience across the entire software development lifecycle. You''ll work with talented engineers to develop simulations supporting rapid prototyping efforts and deliverable software. This role offers exposure to embedded systems, avionics, and mission system software in a team environment that values innovation and professional growth. You will be based onsite in Fort Worth with a flexible schedule designed to enhance work-life balance, while collaborating with our Palmdale-based simulations team.

Your Impact

You will support the development and maintenance of simulation software for aircraft systems. Responsibilities include:

 * Development of simulations to support software development
 * Full software lifecycle development spanning across many avionic services, ground station development and mission system software
 * Supporting ground station development for manned and unmanned systems
 * Participating in unit testing, integration testing, and debug activities
 * Collaborating with team members to develop requirements for rapid prototypes
 * Documenting simulation development processes and results
 * Applying agile software development processes
 * Growing knowledge of avionics systems and simulation development practices
