Jobs at SciTec

Leads software architecture, technical vision, standards, governance, and strategy for a high-visibility missile defense program. Designs scalable, secure, resilient systems; manages technical debt, risks, dependencies, and evolving requirements; selects messaging solutions; documents decisions; collaborates with stakeholders; and mentors engineering staff. Requires extensive software development and MOSA system-of-systems experience, Kubernetes expertise, knowledge of advanced design patterns, parallelization, and application messaging technologies.

Leads complex software-intensive defense programs through design, development, integration, verification, and validation. Manages program scope, cost, schedule, risk, resources, subcontractors, customer relationships, financial performance, and change management. Coordinates multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders, prepares executive status reports, supports demonstrations and reviews, and drives process improvements to ensure mission-critical delivery on schedule and within budget.

Leads system integration and verification activities for a missile defense software system. Develops test strategies, plans, procedures, metrics, and acceptance criteria; executes integration, functional, performance, and system-level testing; analyzes performance against requirements; identifies risks and verification gaps; documents results; coordinates with technical teams, government stakeholders, and contractors; supports reviews and demonstrations; and improves testing processes across programs.

Lead execution of complex defense software programs across design, development, integration, verification, and validation. Manage cost, schedule, risk, staffing, subcontractors, customer relationships, financial performance, change management, reporting, and process improvements. Coordinate technical teams and multiple government stakeholders while ensuring mission-critical programs remain aligned with objectives and are delivered on schedule and within budget.

Develop, prototype, integrate, and test Python-based software for missile warning/tracking missions. Contribute to containerization, testing, deployment, and provide technical guidance to team members while supporting DoD programs and maintaining high software engineering standards.

Systems engineer specializing in human factors to define operator-facing UI requirements, workflows, and data flows for radar modernization. Develop SysML MBSE artifacts, maintain requirements traceability and ICDs, support integration, verification, and usability assessments, and collaborate with radar, software, UI/UX, and government stakeholders.

Develop and maintain GitLab CI pipelines, automated testing suites, and test environments using Kubernetes and Helm. Execute tests across environments, review test engineering artifacts, conduct performance and risk analyses, complete trade studies, and maintain compliant test documentation. The role supports cloud-based software processing OPIR sensor data for missile warning and other national defense missions. This is an on-site position in Boulder, Colorado, requiring U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a DoD security clearance.

Design, build, and maintain CI/CD/DevSecOps pipelines and deployments for containerized applications. Manage deployments to dev/test/prod, implement security scanning and version promotion, maintain Kubernetes/EKS environments, troubleshoot releases, and ensure cybersecurity protocols are followed.

Design, develop, and sustain distributed, containerized microservices and real-time data pipelines. Collaborate with scientific users, ensure scalability and reliability of messaging systems, lead Agile practices, mentor engineers, champion testing and documentation, and support program risk reduction and deployment.

Lead development and optimization of numerical radar algorithms and end-to-end processing pipelines. Prototype in Python and transition performance-critical code to optimized C++ on Linux. Work with real I/Q radar data, evaluate algorithm performance, and integrate solutions into operational DoD radar systems while providing technical leadership within Agile teams.

Administer and secure RHEL and Windows servers/workstations, implement STIG/SCAP hardening, manage patches/packages and backups, support virtualization (VMware, containers, OpenShift/K8s), troubleshoot hardware/software and networking, document configurations, provide operational support, and participate in automation and modernization efforts for defense-focused OPIR processing systems.

Develop, prototype, and tune low-latency numerical algorithms (Kalman filtering, tracking, state estimation, GNC) in Python and C++ for remote sensing data exploitation. Characterize algorithm and sensor performance, contribute to Agile teams and shared tools, and integrate software into government frameworks.

Supports operational missile defense software systems processing OPIR sensor data. Responsibilities include monitoring infrastructure, resolving incidents, conducting root-cause analysis, improving reliability and performance, managing upgrades and configuration changes, and supporting integration, testing, and debugging in Linux environments. The role provides onsite customer support at Buckley Space Force Base and requires clear technical communication, documentation, and collaboration across mission-focused teams.

Design, train, and optimize high-performance ML/AI models and inference pipelines for remote sensor (OPIR) data. Integrate models into production Linux-based systems, collaborate with C++ and systems engineers, apply rigorous software engineering and Agile practices, and support missile warning, defense, and sensor-fusion applications.

Design, implement, and optimize high-performance C++ software for remote sensor data processing (OPIR) on Linux. Develop image analysis, detection, and tracking algorithms; improve scalability and reliability; participate in code reviews, integration, testing, and Agile development; collaborate with algorithms, systems, and integration teams.

Perform application security analysis using automated and manual techniques (SAST, SCA, fuzzing, code reviews), integrate and tune security tooling in CI/CD pipelines, support developers with remediation, conduct threat modeling and secure design reviews, document findings, and embed security into the development lifecycle for mission-critical defense software.
