Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required., * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

 * Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript with full-stack development experience
 * Experience with web application frameworks, relational databases, and REST API design
 * Strong understanding of modern development practices (DevOps, Agile, CI/CD)
 * Demonstrated ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables in a fast-paced environment
 * Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Preferred:
*

 * Experience building AI/ML capabilities or LLM-based applications
 * Proficiency with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) in professional workflows
 * Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
 * Familiarity with manufacturing systems (MES, ERP) or industrial data integration (OPC-UA, MQTT)
 * Experience in defense or aerospace industries

## Description

Software Development & Deployment:

 * Design, develop, test, and deploy full-stack web applications for manufacturing execution, data integration, and operational intelligence
 * Build AI-native applications with intelligence embedded from the architecture up
 * Develop APIs, data pipelines, and integration layers that connect business systems into a unified data architecture
 * Write clean, scalable code with a focus on enterprise-scale deployment across all operations sites
 * Deploy in weeks, not months, using modern development tools including AI coding assistants

Forward Deployed Engineering:

 * Embed directly with operations users at GDMS sites to understand workflows and define requirements firsthand
 * Own problems end to end: requirements, design, development, deployment, and support
 * Translate complex business processes into working software through rapid prototyping and iterative delivery
 * Build for the user, not the specification. The user's experience matters more than the feature list.

Data Architecture & Integration:

 * Design data models that capture, normalize, and flow operations data into a central data warehouse
 * Build integrations between enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, MES, and other business applications)
 * Eliminate shadow data by building systems that capture critical manufacturing data digitally at the point of work

AI & Emerging Technology:

 * Embed AI/ML capabilities into applications: predictive quality, anomaly detection, natural language data access, autonomous decision support
 * Leverage large language models and AI coding agents as core tools in the development workflow
 * Explore and evaluate emerging manufacturing technologies (IoT, robotics, digital twins, computer vision) for integration into the team's technology roadmap
 * Identifies opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement and innovation

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

 * Partner with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Facilities, EH&S, Government Property, and all Operations personnel across multiple sites
 * Work closely with IT infrastructure teams on cloud deployment, security compliance, and DevSecOps practices
 * Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
