Overview
Remote (U.S. Based) | Some Travel Required
LMI is a consultancy dedicated to improving the business of government, drawing from deep expertise in advanced analytics, digital services, logistics, and management advisory services. Established in 1961, LMI is a trusted third party to federal civilian, national security, and defense agencies, operating free of commercial and political bias. For nearly 60 years, LMI has worked with 40 government agencies. We believe government can make a difference, and we seek talented, hardworking, mission-driven people who share that conviction.
Who We Are
We're not here to maintain the status quo - we're here to rewrite it and innovate at the pace of need. Our team is laser-focused on creating cutting-edge RFID solutions for the DoD that bring passive and active RFID tech to life, solving tough integration challenges across global sites. We're a no-bench, get-after-it kind of company where initiative is rewarded, and innovation is our default setting. If you're ready to dive in, take ownership, and ship real value, keep reading. We're not here to maintain the status quo - we're here to rewrite it and innovate at the pace of need.
Responsibilities
We're hiring a Principal Android Engineer (Tech Lead) to lead development of our RFID mobile experience on Zebra Android handhelds. This is a hands-on, lead-from-the-front role where you'll own the mobile codebase, ship features fast, and guide the team as we build a rugged, intuitive experience that complements our main platform. You'll write code daily, help solve edge-case device challenges and get our mobile app through the DoD's ATO process so it can run on classified and production networks.
This role is equal parts strategic thinker, technical collaborator, and product evangelist. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building something from the ground up, and want to make a tangible difference, we want you.
