Senior Software Engineer II

Job description

**Description**

V2X Aerospace Solutions is growing! We have an immediate career-growth opportunity for a collaborative and highly skilled **Senior Software Engineer II** _;_ we hire innovative thinkers wishing to work with emerging technologies on tactical defense solutions recognized around the world.

The **_Senior Software Engineer II_** will join the Environmental Satellite Receiver Processor (ESRP) program and work as part of a multi-disciplinary team developing and maintaining meteorological direct readout terminals.

The team is located in Indianapolis, IN.

The larger ESRP team is responsible for both system hardware and software.

Mechanical, electrical, RF, systems, cybersecurity, and software engineering are present.

It will be necessary to collaborate with these other functions, especially systems engineers and cybersecurity personnel.

The software engineer is expected to gain an understanding of the high-level system architecture and a basic familiarity with how the system computers interface with the other hardware.

Work will be performed in the context of a small software team, which employs Scrum and DevSecOps processes to write code for a family of direct readout systems.

The ESRP program is currently designing the replacement for an aging system, providing an opportunity to be part of original design and development.

The ESRP software scope includes internally developed software, third-party software, and the host operating system.

This means writing code is blended with operating system configuration and the integration of applications from various sources.

ESRP direct readout systems primarily use RedHat Enterprise Linux.

For this reason, a working understanding of Linux operating systems is required.

The main coding languages used are C, C++, Python, bash, and sh.

As part of a Scrum team, the software engineer must have strong interpersonal skills.

Sharing difficulties and asking for help or direction as needed is critical, as is the ability to assess tradeoffs between the idealized design and practical constraints.

Creativity and the willingness to propose new approaches and process improvements are highly desirable.

**Typical Duties:**

The Senior Software Engineer II is responsible for software development, integration, testing, documentation, and technical support.

The software engineer will write new programs and scripts and make changes to system configuration files, including operating system configuration.

These changes can include software interfaces to hardware components such as demodulators.

Software engineers also work closely with cybersecurity personnel to harden the system.

Much of the software development can occur on virtual machines, but certain efforts require working on rack systems in on-site labs.

The software engineer will write integration tests for software changes and execute those tests.

At the end of a release cycle, the software engineer will assist in writing and running formal qualification testing at the system level.

Software changes will be reflected by changes to software documentation, including architecture documentation, software training guides, software administration guides, and cybersecurity documentation.

It is also necessary to create and document processes around operational use of the system software.

Examples would be procedures around user account management and system backups.

Changes to software and documentation and software tests and their results are all peer reviewed.

The software engineer assists the ESRP team in providing technical support for the fielded ESRP systems.

This primarily means responding to helpdesk emails with troubleshooting instructions during the software engineer's normal working hours.

Occasional travel may be required for field technical support.

**Note** : This position will require onsite work, typically a minimum of 3 days a week.

**Required Skills:**

+ Minimum of 6 years related experience in Software Development and associated activities.
+ Experience with one or more: C, C++, and Python programming languages.
+ Experience working with Linux operating systems.
+ Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps Software Development process environments.
+ Strong communication and teaming skills.
+ Ability to travel up to 10% of the time to support customer meetings, and field technical support.
+ Must be a US Citizen with ability to obtain a DoD Secret level clearance.
+ Be able to reside in the Indianapolis area to support lab testing and other team events.

**Desired Skills:**

+ Familiarity with network configuration (configuring IP, netmask, gateway, firewall settings, ssh, TLS).
+ Familiarity with Virtual Machine Environments.
+ Familiarity of one or more Agile techniques (LeSS, Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, SAFe, eXtreme Programming, etc.)
+ Knowledge of Secure Coding techniques.
+ Experience with MS Visual Studio
+ Familiarity with Automated Testing and Automated Test Framework.
+ Familiarity with Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM).
+ Familiarity with Linux UI design.
+ Familiarity with package managers: RPM, YUM, DNF.
+ **Current/active DoD Secret level or higher clearance.**

**Education Requirements:**

+ Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) degree program or equivalent work experience.

**Benefits include the following:**

+ Healthcare coverage
+ Retirement plan
+ Life insurance, AD&D, and disability benefits
+ Wellness programs
+ Paid time off, including holidays
+ Learning and Development resources
+ Employee assistance resources

_Pay and benefits are subject to change at any time and may be modified at the discretion of the company, consistent with the terms of any applicable compensation or benefit plans._
