Job Description
Software Engineer
Space Command and Control (C2) programs are intended to consolidate tactical-level command and control capabilities for Department of Defense space assets through use of a more streamlined operator workflow, to identify and monitor threats to U.S. space assets, and execute the appropriate courses of action. These programs will utilize Agile development to provide this capability more quickly and responsively to the operators and decision makers. We seek applicants with minimum 2-5 years of work experience who are proficient at programming in at least one high-level language (e.g. C/C++, Python) for building software tools and distributed applications. We expect the software systems we develop and deliver to meet standards of quality, maintainability, and reuse. Therefore, experience with sound software engineering principles as well as software unit test tools and methodologies is valuable. This is a great opportunity for someone without a clearance or prior Defense industry experience to transition their career and be part of a stable and growing company, while enjoying mentorship and career opportunities that grow their software development and testing skills.
The Role:
STR is hiring a Software Engineer to work in a small team on tasks including software design, development, unit and integration testing and documentation for mature software that will be used across multiple organizations. The Software Engineer will write software with an eye toward architectural alignment of capabilities and will follow good coding hygiene by performing design and code reviews. The Software Engineer will be responsible for delivering modular and extensible interface capabilities that will be used in experiments, demonstrations, and operational systems. This position will offer the opportunity for design analysis, software development, software testing, end user training, sustainment, and fielding of capabilities in support of emerging C2 and system requirements. The role will require the developer to interpret and understand end user requirements as they relate to the capabilities we deliver. This position is within the System Development Division group, which works across space, airborne, and undersea sensor systems and the C2 capabilities that enable them.
Who You Are:
Even Better:
STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, and Carlsbad, CA. We specialize in advanced research and development for defense, intelligence, and national security in: cyber; next generation sensors, radar, sonar, communications, and electronic warfare; and artificial intelligence algorithms and analytics to make sense of the complexity that is exploding around us.
STR is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment that supports deep technical understanding and recognizes the contributions and achievements of all team members. Our work is challenging, and we go home at night knowing that we pushed the envelope of technology and made the world safer.
STR is not just any company. Our people, culture, and attitude along with their unique set of skills, experiences, and perspectives put us on a trajectory to change the world. We can't do it alone, though - we need fellow trailblazers. If you are one, join our team and help to keep our society safe! Visit us at www.str.us for more info.
