Software Engineer

Job SummaryThe Software Engineer supports the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems and applications. The role contributes to software engineering activities including requirements definition and management, architecture development, coding, testing, debugging, and documentation. The Software Engineer develops and maintains software components and evaluates software performance within realistic operational Naval environments and scenarios.Essential Duties Design, develop, maintain, and support software applications and systems. Develop or maintain software such as operating systems, communications software, database packages, compilers, assemblers, and utility programs for software applications. Define and manage software requirements. Perform software design, coding, benchmarking, debugging, and documentation activities. Support the software development lifecycle including architecture development and implementation. Prepare and develop technical documentation including Software Development Plans (SDPs), Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Interface Change Requests (ICRs), Interface Design Specifications (IDS), and software test plans and reports. Conduct analytical evaluation of software performance in realistic operational Naval environments and scenarios. Conduct software testing at multiple levels including unit, system, and system-of-systems testing. Perform analyses to predict and quantify software constraints and design actionable corrective measures. Education Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Operations Research, or Computer Science. Experience Experience with Naval Surface Warfare Center / DoD Test and Evaluation support preferred. Five (5) years of experience in software engineering. --OR-- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Operations Research, or Computer Science and two (2) years of experience in software engineering. Software engineering experience should include work as a developer creating or maintaining two or more of the following: operating systems, communications software, database packages, compilers, assemblers, or utility programs for software applications.
