Lead the Full Stack Software discipline by defining technical vision, governing tools/processes/training, building a community of practice, enabling sector-wide engineering toolchains, resolving technical shortfalls, embedding lessons learned, and improving software engineering KPIs and interoperability across multiple Aeronautics sites. This is a strategic leadership role focused on governance and enablement rather than day-to-day coding.

Lead software integration and test activities for complex systems: integrate components across Unix/Windows environments, develop and execute installation/integration/acceptance tests, troubleshoot multi-network issues, coordinate engineers and SMEs, produce technical documentation, and manage interim solutions to enable testing and operations.

Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded real-time and cryptographic software/firmware. Architect and administer embedded systems, collaborate with systems/hardware/integration teams in Agile, debug low-level multithreaded applications, and ensure full software lifecycle from requirements through testing. Position requires DoD Secret clearance and onsite work in Rancho Carmel, San Diego.

Design, architect, develop, deploy, and operate a DevSecOps software factory for aerospace programs. Stand up large-scale software factory and implement CI/CD, continuous test, continuous cyber, and continuous deployment pipelines. Collaborate with systems, embedded software, test automation, and DevSecOps teams in an Agile environment.

Develop, integrate, and test embedded real-time software for flight/mission-critical systems. Participate in full software lifecycle within Agile teams, work with RTOS and avionics interfaces, collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, and maintain required DoD Top Secret clearance and SAP access while working on-site in San Diego.

Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded real-time cryptographic software. Architect secure systems, implement crypto using libraries, work cross-functionally on Xilinx platforms, and follow full software lifecycle in an Agile environment. Must support integration, debugging, and networking functionality.

Lead technical architect for data acquisition, processing, storage, analysis, and dissemination across defense programs. Translate sensor/telemetry into actionable information, define enterprise strategy, prioritize backlog, advise leadership, and ensure solutions meet operational needs while governing data standards and enabling cross-functional delivery.

Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded real-time software for Link-16 and tactical datalink systems. Architect and implement low-level firmware, debug multi-threaded embedded applications, work with cross-discipline teams in Agile, and support lab testing with tactical datalink radios and waveform troubleshooting. Must obtain Secret clearance and work onsite.

Maintain and ensure availability, stability, and health of distributed mission systems. Implement and automate CI/CD, configuration management, monitoring, and verification processes. Support software sustainment, system integration, and cross-functional coordination. Develop dashboards and reports, identify system deficiencies, and support testing and experimentation in secure, classified DoD environments.

The role involves designing, developing, and supporting software for complex electro-mechanical systems in semiconductor manufacturing. Responsibilities include full lifecycle development, troubleshooting, and collaboration across teams.

Design and build scalable automation test frameworks for functional, integration, and regression testing of frontend and backend services. Develop API and end-to-end tests, integrate automation into Jenkins CI/CD, convert manual tests to automated scripts, validate JSON/XML payloads across microservices, participate in Agile ceremonies, and perform root cause analysis to ensure product quality and test stability.

The Staff Software Engineer will design and implement web applications for Zoox's autonomous ride-hailing service, mentor junior engineers, and provide architectural leadership across various domains.

Lead design, implementation, and operation of large-scale, low-latency distributed data platforms and stream processing.
