Job Description
Day to Day:
This role leads software development efforts supporting combat and tactical vehicle systems. You’ll own execution across the full SDLC—helping define requirements, driving design decisions, supporting implementation, and leading integration and testing efforts.

You’ll manage work through tools like Jira, support engineers on features and bugs, and provide leadership across multiple CSCIs. You’ll also help establish best practices around development environments and workflows while mentoring junior engineers and contributing to an overall strong team culture.
