TL;DR · Senior Scientific Software Engineer

As a Senior Scientific Software Engineer, you will join a small, high-impact team to develop state-of-the-art algorithms and software for mission-critical systems. You will shape technical direction while remaining hands-on in design, implementation, and code review. Your daily responsibilities include mentoring junior engineers through pair programming, prototyping solutions in agile environments, and managing the full software development lifecycle from prototype to tactical deployment. The role requires proficiency in C++, Python, and big data or NoSQL technologies. You will apply advanced mathematics including linear algebra, differential equations, and estimation theory to solve complex problems in air and missile defense, such as multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, and command-and-control systems. You will also utilize high-fidelity modeling, simulation environments, and digital signal processing to quantify technology benefits within the defense domain.

What you'll do

  • Write production-quality C++ and Python code for mission-critical systems.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming and technical guidance.
  • Shape the technical direction of a small team while remaining hands-on in design and implementation.
  • Prototype state-of-the-art software solutions and guide them toward tactical deployment.
  • Implement high-performance software ranging from tactical systems to web applications.
  • Use modeling, simulation environments, and analysis tools to quantify technology benefits.
  • Lead technical meetings, sprint planning, and customer engagements for mission-critical needs.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to colleagues, customers, and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience.
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for mission-critical systems.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership as a hands-on contributor.
  • Experience with large, complex codebases including CI/CD, unit testing, and git workflows.
  • Expertise in air and missile defense domains such as multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, or command-and-control systems.
  • Proficiency in applied mathematics (linear algebra, differential equations) and engineering concepts like estimation theory and signal processing.
