Design, develop, implement, test, and debug software solutions for C5ISR systems, prototypes, and enhancements, including writing secure, efficient code (commonly in Python, C++, Java, MATLAB, C#) to support mission-critical capabilities such as tactical networks, electronic warfare models, signal processing, software-defined radios, cybersecurity tools, and intelligence data fusion.
Perform software integration, troubleshooting to integrate software with hardware platforms, third-party components, and existing Army systems.
Apply secure software engineering practices and cybersecurity compliance: follow DoD standards (e.g., RMF, secure coding, DoD 8140/8570 requirements); conduct vulnerability analysis; harden software against threats.
Develop and iterate software prototypes for C5ISR capabilities and integration with hardware platforms in lab environments.
Support lab-based test prototypes in operationally relevant scenarios.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, document work, and support program goals: Work alongside government engineers, scientists, program offices, and Soldiers; participate in code reviews, technical reporting, demonstrations, and transition activities.
