SUMMARY
The Application Software Engineer II is responsible for developing, testing, integrating, and maintaining operator-facing application software used in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) ground control, mission planning, telemetry visualization, and mission execution workflows. Engineers at this level contribute to software features and system integrations while applying strong software quality practices to ensure solutions are reliable, maintainable, and fit for operational use.
We are looking for someone with a solid foundation in software engineering principles, including requirements implementation, code quality, verification and validation, debugging, and technical documentation. Application Software Engineer II employees work collaboratively with software, avionics, systems, and test engineers to deliver well-tested software, resolve issues efficiently, and support the successful integration of software across the UAS ecosystem. Engineers at this level are expected to execute assigned work with increasing independence, maintain attention to detail, and promote a culture of quality throughout development, testing, and release activities.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Develop and enhance software applications supporting UAS operations and mission execution.
  • Implement features and resolve defects in accordance with requirements, design guidance, coding standards, and quality processes.
  • Participate in technical reviews to ensure software quality, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Plan, develop, and execute unit, integration, and system tests to verify functionality and requirements compliance.
  • Support system verification and validation by defining test objectives, methods, success criteria, and required data collection.
  • Build and maintain internal tools and automation that improve development, testing, verification, troubleshooting, and operational workflows.
  • Identify, investigate, and report software defects, integration issues, and system anomalies.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate software and support lab, ground, and flight test activities.
  • Prepare technical documentation such as test procedures, test reports, release notes, and troubleshooting guides, and support configuration management and release processes.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
The following are a non-exhaustive list of qualifications for the position:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related engineering discipline required.
  • 2+ years of professional software development experience, or equivalent combination of education and applicable project experience.
  • Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as C#, Python, C++, or Java.
  • Experience designing, developing, testing, and debugging software applications.
  • Working knowledge of software development lifecycle
  • Experience developing and executing unit and integration tests
  • Ability to identify, document, and troubleshoot software defects
  • Ability to read, understand, and implement software requirements and technical documentation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a cross-functional engineering environment
  • Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while seeking guidance when appropriate.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience developing software for aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, defense, or other safety-critical systems.
  • Experience developing internal engineering tools, automation solutions, or test utilities.
  • Demonstrated commitment to software quality through testing, documentation, code reviews, and adherence to engineering processes.
  • Experience supporting Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), bench test, or flight test activities.
  • Familiarity with networking concepts, serial communications, vehicle interfaces, or sensor integration.
  • Experience with Agile development methodologies and issue-tracking tools.
  • Experience using automated test frameworks and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools.
