- Participate in software architecture, design reviews, code reviews, technical interchange meetings, Integrated Product Teams, and configuration control activities.
- Support lab-based software testing, software integration testing, system-level testing, regression testing, user acceptance testing, and verification and validation activities.
- Develop and execute software test procedures, test cases, test scripts, automated tests, and integration test activities.
- Support hardware-in-the-loop, lab, and field test environments where EWOK software interacts with hardware, RF systems, networks, sensors, test equipment, or other mission systems.
- Troubleshoot software defects, integration issues, interface problems, performance issues, data flow errors, and system anomalies.
- Document software deficiencies, corrective actions, test results, regression impacts, technical risks, and recommended solutions.
- Use Government-accessible source code repositories and configuration-controlled development environments.
- Support software configuration management, version control, release management, build control, and documentation of software baselines.
- Develop and maintain software documentation, including design descriptions, interface documentation, user guides, installation instructions, test documentation, version descriptions, and technical reports.
- Coordinate with systems engineering personnel to ensure software interfaces, system requirements, data flows, and operational behaviors are properly defined and documented.
- Coordinate with cybersecurity personnel to support secure software development, vulnerability mitigation, system authorization, patching, and compliance with applicable cybersecurity requirements.
- Support updates, patches, software maintenance, defect correction, and software enhancements needed to maintain EWOK system functionality.
- Support data analysis, software tool development, visualization, automation, or reporting capabilities as required by the program.
- Prepare technical briefings, software status updates, engineering summaries, and recommendations for Government and program stakeholders.
- Ensure all software, documentation, source code, test data, and technical products are properly marked, controlled, stored, and handled in accordance with security, CUI, OPSEC, and configuration management requirements.
Desired Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Desired Experience:
- 3+ years of related software engineering, military, or technical experience.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively with software engineers, systems engineers, test engineers, cybersecurity personnel, configuration managers, technicians, and Government stakeholders.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Active Secret clearance; Top Secret/SCI eligibility preferred.
- Experience supporting NSWC Crane, NAVSEA, Navy, Marine Corps, or other DoD engineering programs.
- Experience supporting EW systems, RF systems, tactical systems, mission systems, CUAS systems, test infrastructure, or software-defined capabilities.
- Experience with Linux and Windows operating environments.
- Experience with software build processes, automated testing, continuous integration, DevSecOps concepts, or software release management.
- Experience with Jira, Confluence, GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, SharePoint, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar development and collaboration tools.
