Overview

A Mission Software Engineer develops and deploys software essential for a specific, real-world objective or mission in partnership with customers. This approach emphasizes end-user operational needs and mission success, rather than only technical performance. STR's Analytics and Command & Control (AC2) Division focuses on actionable, advanced technology solutions to provide asymmetric advantages within the information domain. The Mission Applications (MA) Group within the AC2 Division ensures STR technology produces outsized mission impact. MA teams are composed of DevSecOps Engineers, Mission Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Program Managers, collaborating with scientists and engineers from STR R&D groups to form dedicated product teams focused on the operational transition of cutting-edge software technologies.

The Role:

As a Mission Software Engineer in the Mission Applications Group, you will work as part of tightly knit Agile software teams to design, develop, and maintain software systems deployed to customer locations, ensuring our solutions meet high standards of quality, reliability, and performance.

• System Integration: Writing code that integrates various components into a single, cohesive system
• Customer Collaboration: Working closely with end-users and customers, typically military or Government operators, to understand requirements and translate them into software features
• Deployment and Field Testing: Traveling to integration sites to build, test, and deploy software in real-world, operational environments
• Triage and Debugging: Identifying and resolving software and system failures during integration

This role leverages STR's flexible, hybrid environment – when work does not require STR's or the customer's facilities, you may work remotely.
