This position is geographically flexible and can be based out of any one of the 5 locations listed above.

The Lead does not own daytoday coding or system integration; instead, the role architects, sustains, and continuously improves the tools, process, training, and metrics creating an enabling environment that product teams use.

Core Responsibilities include:

• Provide leadership and define strategic vision for technical priorities within Software discipline, aligned to long-term sector strategy.

• Regularly interface with EI&E discipline leads to identify program needs and close gaps in engineering tools, processes, digital solutions, and technical training.

• Lead the development, deployment, and sustainment of sector-wide engineering tools, standardized processes, digital solutions, and technical training-- ensuring they are relevant, scalable, and interoperable across programs.

• Build and sustain a strong Software Community of Practice (CoP), ensuring alignment of sub-CoPs, strategies, and priorities while fostering collaboration across programs and sub-disciplines.

• Act as a trusted advisor to help resolve technical performance shortfalls through root cause analysis, corrective action planning, long-term verification of improvement.

• Capture, share, and embed lessons learned and best practices across programs to continuously raise the bar for technical performance.

Core Technical Competencies:

• Cloud & Distributed Computing: Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OpenStack), containerization (Docker, OCI), Kubernetes, servicemesh (Istio), CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps), IaC (Ansible).

• Geospatial Engineering: GIS data formats (DTED, GeoTIFF, OGC standards), CesiumJS, WebGL, maptiling services, spatialdatabase (PostGIS), coordinatesystem transformations, terrainrendering pipelines.

• Engineering Foundations: Human-Machine interface, Human Factors Engineering, and CI-integrated security scanning.

• Software Construction: Java, Web Frameworks, UI/UX Standards.
