Partner with program leadership, product stakeholders, customers, and end users to understand mission needs; develop, refine, and prioritize user stories and acceptance criteria.
Translate user stories, interface requirements, and operational constraints into software architectures, technical designs, estimates, and executable development plans.
Lead rapid design, development, integration, and demonstration of prototypes that reduce technical risk and produce early stakeholder feedback.
Develop and integrate software components and applications using C# and other program-approved technologies.
Collaborate with systems, hardware, electrical, mechanical, and test engineering teams to integrate software with equipment, external interfaces, and mission workflows.
Plan and lead short development iterations, incorporating verification results, user feedback, and changing priorities into successive releases.
Establish and maintain appropriate unit, component, integration, and system-level test coverage; support verification of functional, interface, performance, and applicable corporate requirements.
Distinguish experimental prototypes from deliverable software and apply the documentation, verification, cybersecurity, safety, quality, and configuration controls appropriate to each maturity level.
Travel as needed to customer facilities, integration locations, demonstration venues, and test sites; provide hands-on software integration, troubleshooting, and technical support during field activities.
Diagnose complex software and integration issues, identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and communicate impacts, risks, and recovery plans.
Prepare and maintain technical documentation, interface descriptions, test procedures, release notes, deployment instructions, and configuration records.
Communicate technical designs, prototype results, limitations, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Provide technical leadership through design reviews, task planning, coaching, and mentoring of other software engineers.
Apply Agile and Scrum practices that support rapid, disciplined program execution; capture lessons learned and improve reusable software components, development tools, and processes.
Perform other appropriate duties as assigned while maintaining a professional, collaborative approach.
