## Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to contribute to the development of powerhouse systems that will put this country on the leading edge of national defense? You know a good system is more than just a nice-looking interface and data, and that you need the right combination of clean, safe, and secure code, APIs, analytics, and infrastructure to help your team build a solid solution meant to last decades into the future. As a software engineer on our team, you'll work with subject matter experts, developers, and fellow engineers to overcome our government customer's most difficult challenges using the latest architectural approaches. You'll use your passion to learn new tools and techniques, while helping to identify and implement system improvements. Using Agile Software development principles, you'll guide development of safe, secure, and effective weapon system architectures. You'll analyze the needs and the environment to ensure the solution weapon system contractors develop considers
architecture, operating environments, and safety and surety for the system, for future functionality and enhancements.

As a Systems Software Engineer on our team, you'll Support an Air Force client with complex software safety and compatibility issues across weapon sustainment and acquisition programs. You'll gain knowledge of the design of weapon systems and use that knowledge to ensure that those systems remain safe and compatible. You'll apply your knowledge of real-time embedded software development to the maintenance of safety design policy, apply knowledge of programmable and configurable logic development to the creation and maintenance of safety design policy, and apply safety design policy to weapon systems.
