  • Experience developing software for complex integrated systems (e.g., distributed systems, real-time systems, embedded platforms, or hardware-software integrated environments).
  • Ability to organize, schedule, and manage technical work across multiple concurrent efforts with competing priorities.
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate technical approaches, make sound engineering decisions, and resolve complex system-level problems.
  • Experience supporting software integration, verification, and test activities across lab, simulation, or operational environments.
