What You'll Get to Do
CACI is seeking a Junior Computer Programmer to support our customer at NSWC Crane.
You will be responsible for software rigor and will support the Program Manager and Senior Engineers on the organization, direction, coordination, planning and execution of all programming and testing activities associated with assigned delivery order projects. You will demonstrate competent programming skills, problem-solving ability, and effective oral and written communication skills, ensuring quality products and services are delivered to the customer in a timely manner.
Define software implementation approaches and operational concepts. Develop and maintain algorithms, software models, and coding guidelines for current and future system development. Provide technical input related to programming practices and system integration. Work with CACI Program Managers, technical staff, and DoD customers to capture requirements, design, develop, and deliver software products for testing, analysis, and operational use.
Support analyses at all levels for total system integration including: concept development, coding, debugging, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and eventual retirement of software solutions. Attend project meetings as assigned and contribute to technical discussions. Assist with project coordination and document control, including generation, review, and editing of technical software documentation. Collaborate with the Program Manager, technical leads, and financial/procurement staff to perform market research analysis of computing resources, develop rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates, and provide data in support of acquisition decisions.
Support technical management by identifying project requirements, contributing to justification write-ups, and assisting with sole-source recommendations and technical evaluations. Closely monitor software development efforts, including vendor performance, to ensure technical rigor, adherence to coding standards, and that deliverables are on time and meet customer requirements.
More About the Role
You will be part of a team providing computer programming and analytical support for modeling, simulation, testing, and evaluation activities. Your work will involve hands-on coding, integration with hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testbeds, and participation in advanced computing projects involving image processing, machine learning, and networked environments. You will interact with engineers, scientists, and program managers to integrate software solutions with larger system architectures. You will contribute to requirements generation, validation, verification, and test support for software-driven systems, while assisting with progress reporting, readiness reviews, and technical interchange meetings. This role requires balancing multiple concurrent tasks while maintaining consistent technical rigor and supporting mission-critical objectives.
