  • Provide expert government oversight of prime contractor software development, with a specific focus on real-time radar signal processing algorithms (e.g., pulse compression, Doppler processing, clutter filtering, target detection/tracking) modern processing, and cloud computing capabilities (e.g., Kubernetes, containers, Cloud architecture).
  • Assess and provide technical recommendations on contractor-proposed software architectures, ensuring they are scalable, maintainable, and adhere to MOSA principles.
  • Oversee contractor adherence to modern DevSecOps practices within their software development lifecycles, assessing code quality, automated testing, and cybersecurity integration.
  • Review and recommend for Government approval contractor-generated software documentation (SRS, SDD, ICDs) and complex data format specifications across multiple, competing designs.
  • Analyze results from contractor-led software performance testing, including algorithm timing, resource utilization, and system stability under load, to advise the Government on software readiness.
  • Ensure seamless software/hardware integration by collaborating with hardware and systems engineers, resolving complex interface and timing challenges across different contractor solutions.
  • Drive the definition and implementation of the GBRD program's software-related MOSA strategy, including the use of containers, standard APIs, and common data models.
  • Serve as the government's software SME during technical trades, risk assessments, and Configuration Control Boards.

  • Direct experience developing or overseeing the development of advanced radar signal processing algorithms.
  • Experience with a large-scale defense acquisition program (ACAT I/II) and working in a multi-contractor environment.
  • Strong understanding of DevSecOps, containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), cloud implementation, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) principles and their application to complex software systems.
  • Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Agile/Scrum certifications (e.g., Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), SAFe Agilist, SAFe for Government Practitioner).
  • Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) or similar cybersecurity certification.
