Within the Client’s business unit, the software developers’ main responsibilities are designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software applications that meet the needs of our users and stakeholders. Software developers also troubleshoot and debug issues and provide documentation for their work. They work with a team of developers and other related functions to deliver high-quality software.

The individual selected for this role must have in depth Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), Systems Engineering background, Model Based Systems Engineer experience. Additionally, this individual must have experience developing and integrating ARAS Innovator platform

• The group designs, builds, and tests systems that improve safety and efficiency in the National Airspace System. The development of these systems often involves extensive software writing, testing, and integration, requiring the services of contingency workers specializing in software development. • The Runway Incursion Prevention through Situational Awareness (RIPSA) is an ongoing program with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intended to reduce instances of runway incursions: incidents in which aircraft, vehicles, or people are incorrectly present on a protected part of the airport designated for takeoffs and landings. As part of RIPSA, the Laboratory is adapting, modifying, and extending software created for an earlier program, Runway Status Lights (RWSL). In RWSL, airport surveillance data is used to control red lights embedded in the airport pavement. These lights are activated to warn pilots when it is unsafe to enter or take off from a runway. The software that controls these lights requires adaptation to each new airport it is deployed to. A major element of RIPSA will be to perform this adaptation to a new airport, but also to modify and extend the software to accommodate new surveillance inputs and potentially other changing parameters.

• The Group specializes in advanced network and communications systems development, with a focus on tactical mobile, military airborne networks of the future. The Group uses a combination of technical analysis, modeling, simulation, emulation, prototype development, and flight evaluation to develop new communication systems and evaluate and predict their performance under expected conditions.

• Facility is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) whose mission is research in support of National Security. The Security Services Department’s (SSD) overall mission is to enable research and development while keeping the Facility community safe and secure through the protection of information, network, facilities and personnel.

The Group supports the Missile Defense Agency in the development, deployment, testing, and enhancement of the nation’s missile defense system. This system is currently being developed, to defend the United States, deployed forces, and allies from missile attacks. This group performs detailed system and component engineering, flight and ground test analysis, and advanced capability development in collaboration with the contractors and government program offices that are building the missile defense elements and components. The group has a need for a Software Developer to support the analysis of radar sensor performance metrics and exploitation of signature data in order to understand the real world missile threat as well as to evaluate missile defense system performance following flight tests.

• This job takes the lead in providing more complex application development services typically as part of a project team or in an application support role. • Developers analyze, design, code, test and implement more complex systematic solutions to meet customer requirements that adhere to Highmark IT standards and policies. • Developers provide general support to maintain more complex applications that meet the service levels, system availability, performance and quality levels required by their customers. • May mentor less experienced team members
