TL;DR · Specialist, Software Engineering

Specialist, Software Engineering: This role focuses on developing and managing data structures, metadata, and product configurations that drive a primary UI software application across multiple projects. Rather than traditional coding, the position involves translating system requirements into scalable, modular, and reusable data definitions to ensure consistency across programs. The engineer will manage metadata in JSON format, support Mission Data File outputs, and perform integration, verification, and validation activities to ensure alignment with product intent. Key responsibilities include identifying defects in UI implementation and coordinating with Systems and Software Engineering teams. Required skills include experience with structured data, configuration workflows, and Agile methodologies using Jira. The role also involves interacting with Jenkins-based pipelines and software configuration management processes. Candidates must be able to manage complex data models that drive system functionality and output generation across various product lines.

What you'll do

  • Translate system and product requirements into structured metadata and data definitions.
  • Develop and maintain scalable, modular data structures that interface with primary UI software.
  • Create and manage metadata in JSON format to support product functionality and output generation.
  • Design data definitions focused on reusability and automation across multiple programs.
  • Maintain data catalog content used to generate Mission Data File (MDF) outputs.
  • Perform integration, verification, and validation activities to ensure metadata and UI behavior meet requirements.
  • Identify and resolve defects across requirements, metadata definitions, and software interfaces.
  • Manage configuration content within Jenkins-based pipelines and other software configuration workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or a related field and at least 4 years of relevant experience.
  • Master's degree and at least 2 years of related experience.
  • Secret Clearance required.
  • 4+ years of experience interpreting system/software requirements into structured data or metadata solutions.
  • 4+ years of experience developing or managing structured data, configuration content, or schema-like definitions.
  • 4+ years of experience developing modular, scalable, and reusable systems across multiple projects.
  • 4+ years of experience working with cross-functional teams, specifically Systems and Software Engineering.
  • U.S. citizens.
