  • Develop and refine algorithms to meet system performance and functional requirements

  • Create, review, and maintain software and system documentation

  • Apply scientific and mathematical modeling to evaluate system behavior and outcomes

  • Work with real-time constraints, including timing, resource usage, and interface requirements

  • Integrate software across multiple platforms and operational environments

  • Support software testing, validation, and quality assurance processes

  • Develop and execute test procedures for software components

  • Analyze system performance, data flow, and process efficiency

  • Recommend improvements to software development standards and documentation practices

  • Assist with software integration into new or modified system environments

  • Support installation and operational validation of software systems

  • Collaborate across teams and may serve as a technical lead for small groups

Highly Desirable Experience
