About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Technology, or related technical discipline and at least five years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related discipline and at least three years of relevant experience; directly relevant network engineering experience may be considered in place of a degree or generalized experience.
  • At least eight years of software engineering or software development experience supporting complex, distributed, real-time, or mission-critical systems.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, or Python.
  • Experience developing, debugging, and sustaining software in Linux-based environments.
  • Experience with object-oriented design, modular software design, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns.
  • Experience developing or integrating containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or comparable technologies.
  • Experience developing software interfaces, application programming interfaces, inter-process communications, message-based services, or networked applications.
  • Experience with source-code management and collaborative development workflows using Git or comparable tools.
  • Ability to decompose system requirements into software requirements, implementation tasks, interfaces, and verification criteria.
  • Ability to produce software design documentation, interface documentation, test documentation, and technical reports.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
  • Ability to travel periodically to CONUS, OCONUS, and remote locations.
  • U.S. citizenship and an active Department of Defense Secret clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, integrate, test, document, and sustain software components and platform services for distributed, mission-critical systems.
  • Develop software primarily for Linux-based environments using approved programming and scripting languages.
  • Build and maintain containerized applications and services using Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or comparable technologies.
  • Develop health and status, telemetry, monitoring, alerting, logging, and audit capabilities for software services and supporting platform components.
  • Develop automation for software deployment, configuration, validation, health checks, service recovery, patching, and sustainment activities.
  • Translate system and program requirements into implementable software requirements, user stories, interface definitions, and verification criteria.
  • Define and implement software interfaces, service boundaries, data exchanges, and integration patterns that support modularity and interoperability.
  • Perform unit, integration, regression, and system-level testing and support defect investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective action.
  • Support continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, source-code management, artifact repositories, automated testing, and release management.
  • Produce software design descriptions, interface documentation, test procedures, technical reports, and engineering-review materials.
  • Support software integration in development and systems integration laboratories before transition to operational radar sites.
  • Collaborate with systems, network, hardware, integration, test, and operations personnel to ensure software is deployable, supportable, and compatible with the approved system baseline.
  • Participate in technical reviews, demonstrations, planning sessions, and program status meetings.
  • Support occasional travel to laboratories, integration facilities, and operational sites.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience supporting radar, missile defense, space, command-and-control, intelligence, or other mission or weapon systems.
  • Experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes operators, or infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Elastic Stack, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience with automation tools such as Ansible and scripting languages such as Bash or PowerShell.
  • Familiarity with Modular Open Systems Approach principles, open interfaces, and vendor-neutral software design.
  • Experience developing software for disconnected, degraded, intermittent, or bandwidth-constrained environments.
  • Experience supporting System Requirements Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, or equivalent engineering lifecycle reviews.
  • Experience integrating and testing software in a development or systems integration laboratory and transitioning approved releases to operational environments.
  • Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering, digital engineering, SysML, Cameo, or comparable modeling tools.
  • Relevant certifications in Linux, Kubernetes, OpenShift, cloud platforms, software development, or DevOps technologies.
  • Willingness to support occasional travel (CONUS, OCONUS, remote).
  • Experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery tools, build systems, artifact repositories, and automated software pipelines.
  • Experience writing unit tests, integration tests, automated test scripts, and software verification procedures.
  • Ability to work effectively with systems, network, hardware, integration, test, and operations teams.

About the Company

V2X

Defense aerospace logistics, maintenance, and training

V2X is a public company that provides mission-critical aerospace and defense support services. Its offerings include logistics, maintenance, supply chain management, and training for military and government aircraft, ensuring operators stay mission-ready. The company works by delivering end-to-end aftermarket support—spares, repairs, logistics planning, and training programs—through a global network and contracts with national security agencies, notably the U.S. Department of Defense. V2X differentiates itself through strategic growth via acquisitions (notably Vertex Aerospace in 2018 and Raytheon’s defense training business in 2021, followed by a merger with Vectrus in 2022) to build a broad, integrated portfolio and scale its capabilities. Its goal is to be a leading, globally supported provider of defense and security solutions that keeps aviation assets ready and its clients prepared for mission requirements.
