## About the Role

* 2+ years of professional software development experience with a primary focus on frontend engineering.
 * Experience using HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, including deep understanding of browser internals, rendering pipelines, performance constraints, and modern frontend tooling.
 * Experience with React, including advanced patterns such as compound components, render props, custom hooks, context architectures, and scalable statemanagement approaches (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or equivalent).
 * Proven experience architecting and maintaining component libraries, design systems, and scalable CSS architectures (CSSinJS, modular CSS, utilityfirst, or hybrid patterns).
 * Experience visualizing complex physics based simulations, workflows, and real-time visualization of engineering systems
 * Proficiency integrating with backend systems and APIs, with working fluency in gRPC, REST, and WebSocket communication patterns, including debugging integration issues and influencing API design.
 * Ability to collaborate effectively across the stack-you can read backend code, understand systemlevel constraints, and partner with backend engineers to shape interfaces and performance requirements.
 * Demonstrated excellence in Gitbased workflows, including clean commit practices, thoughtful PR submissions, and a strong collaborative review culture.
 * U.S. Citizen with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret or TS/SCI clearance.

Desired Skills

 * Strong foundational background in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related quantitative fields.
 * Experience building and shipping complex, datadense, and performancecritical interfaces, such as dashboards, realtime systems, modeling/simulation front ends, or largescale visualization tools.
 * Deep experience with Three.js, React Three Fiber, WebGL, or other webbased 3D rendering libraries-including performance profiling, shader optimization, and interaction design for 3D environments.
 * Experience collaborating deeply with UI/UX designers using tools like Figma, and the ability to translate design intent into technically feasible, scalable frontend architectures.
 * Experience in or exposure to aerospace, defense, or space industry workflows, aligning with UI/UX principles in mission systems and digital engineering environments
 * Strong communication and crossfunctional collaboration skills, enabling effective interface with engineering, product, design, and missiondomain stakeholders.
 * Experience building front ends that integrate with simulation environments, digitaltwin systems, data pipelines, or engineering workflows.
 * Familiarity with accessibility standards, internationalization, and securebydesign UI practices.
