OverviewWho You AreYou're the kind of engineer who loves understanding how complex systems come together-and you take pride in building software that absolutely must work. You enjoy digging into requirements, tacking challenging problems, and collaborating with people who care as much about precision and purpose as you do. You're the person who sees a complex system and thinks, 'I can make this better.'
You thrive when you can:
- Own your work end-to-end
- Translate system needs into clean, reliable code
- Debug thoughtfully and systematically
- Challenge a peer or test team to find issues with your code
- Partner with systems, hardware, and test engineers
- Build software that keeps real-world systems running safely and effectively
What You'll DoAs a Senior Software Engineer supporting HM&E systems, you'll be part of an engineering team that designs, develops, integrates, and tests shipboard software for multiple submarine platforms. Your responsibilities will include:
- Analyzing system-level requirements and deriving them into software and interface requirements
- Designing software components that align with functional and system needs
- Integrating software with embedded hardware
- Developing comprehensive unit tests using modern testing frameworks
- Supporting verification and validation testing for performance and operational requirements
- Troubleshooting and enhancing existing code to fix defects or support evolving hardware and requirements
- Maintaining formal software documentation and design artifacts
- Assisting with prototypes for R&D initiatives
This role has the potential to lead a software team while being responsible for project progress and budget.
