Senior Software Developer

Job Description

Job Description

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance software applications supporting aircraft avionics and mission systems within a classified modeling and simulation laboratory environment.
• Implement and maintain real-time software components primarily using C++ to support hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and system integration testing of avionics subsystems.
• Develop modeling and simulation capabilities to emulate aircraft mission systems, sensors, and avionics interfaces for developmental and operational test environments.
• Perform system-to-system integration and testing, ensuring interoperability between avionics components, mission computers, and simulation environments.
• Design, implement, and troubleshoot interfaces using avionics data buses including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and other aircraft communication protocols.
• Analyze system requirements, develop software architectures, and translate avionics interface control documents (ICDs) into functional simulation and test software.
• Work closely with avionics engineers, systems engineers, and test personnel to support integration events, troubleshooting, and verification of mission system functionality.
• Develop automated test tools and software utilities to support validation of avionics communications, data flows, and mission system performance.
• Maintain configuration management, documentation, and coding standards in accordance with government and program software development processes.
• Support classified laboratory operations, including preparation and execution of test events, analysis of system performance data, and rapid resolution of integration issues.
