Position Summary and Job Responsibilities

Each day brings a new challenge and a new reward where your efforts create tools to train the warfighter. As a member of a close-knit BGI engineering/operator team, positions involve research, design, and development of computer and network software and/or specialized utility programs in support of leading-edge modeling and simulation products. Applicants require skill in the following occupations: Analyze user needs and develop software solutions, applying principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis; Update software or enhance existing software capabilities; May work with computer hardware engineers to integrate hardware and software systems, and develop specifications and performance requirements; May maintain databases within an application area, working individually or coordinating database development as part of a team.

Specifically, employees will develop software for aircrew training devices, to include computer systems, Instructional Operational Systems (IOS) or other application software.

Job Responsibilities

• Apply computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis concepts and principles in the development of software for the target application.
• Work closely with cross functional members of the engineering organization to develop and evaluate interfaces between hardware and software, and operational performance requirements and design of the overall system.
• Support and participate in all phases of the software development life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, and test of embedded software for real-time control of simulated and stimulated avionics equipment.
• Develop software test procedures, software programs, and related documentation.
• Ensure software and quality company processes and standards are met.
• Perform system-level integration and troubleshooting.
• Participate in peer reviews, identify, track and repair defects.
