Job Description:
We're looking for a software engineer to develop internal tools that directly accelerate the development of some of the most cutting-edge aircraft in the defense industry. In this role, you'll partner closely with engineers across disciplines to design, build, and support a wide range of tooling - from lightweight automation scripts and macros to more robust frameworks and platforms. These solutions will be deeply embedded in daily workflows and represent some of the highest-impact software at the company, enabling teams to move faster, make better decisions, and bring advanced capabilities to life more efficiently.
What you'll do:
  • Own software development from design through deployment for a range of internal tools, as an independent developer operating within a broader organization.
  • Integrate diverse engineering systems, including electronic design automation, computer-aided design, and product lifecycle management tools.
  • Embed with teams such as electrical engineering and production automation to incubate new projects and develop elegant solutions to difficult problems.
  • Use databases, scripts, services, and application packaging to deploy software across multiple platforms.
  • Improve existing frameworks and tools by adding features, fixing bugs, and enhancing maintainability.
  • Use AI assisted tools and workflows to accelerate development.

Required qualifications:
  • 5+ years of software development experience.
  • Proficiency in Python, C++, JavaScript, and SQL.
  • Experience designing, building, and supporting internal tools used by engineering, manufacturing, or operations teams.
  • Experience with database schema design and analysis.
  • Experience building automated package build and deployment pipelines (CI/CD).
  • Experience with containerization technologies (Docker).
  • Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, AWS).
