FAST Labs - Software Engineer - All Levels - Top Secret
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job description and extract relevant content.
Let's identify sections:
- About the role: The description includes introductory paragraphs: "Thank you for your interest...", "If your background...", "If selected for an interview...", "For candidates who are not local...", "If you are a technologist...". Also description of FAST Labs: "The FAST Labs business area...". So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: Not explicitly listed. The description mentions tasks: design, write, integrate, test cutting edge software based around challenging algorithms, platforms, environments; develop prototype, proof of concept, low volume product; etc. Might be considered responsibilities. We could create a Responsibilities section with bullet list of duties: design, write, integrate, test software; develop prototypes; collaborate; etc. But we must not invent details; we can only use what's present. The text includes: "If you are a technologist who loves to design, write, integrate, and test cutting edge software based around challenging algorithms, platforms, and environments, this is the career opportunity for you." Also: "We are a fast-paced environment, creating prototype, proof of concept, and low volume product with minimal process and documentation requirements." Also: "We seek to turn groundbreaking research into real-life impact...". Also: "Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and secure access to sensitive information, this role will be performed full-time on site." That's more about schedule/location.
We could treat responsibilities as those statements. But we need to ensure we don't create filler. We'll include a Responsibilities with items derived from those sentences.
- Requirements: The "Required Education, Experience, & Skills" list. That's clearly requirements. We'll put under Requirements (or Qualifications). The spec says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. Probably combine required and preferred into Requirements and Preferred? But we have both Required and Preferred sections. Could make Requirements for required, and Skills for preferred? Or Qualifications for required, Skills for preferred. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we can have multiple of those. We'll include Requirements (for required) and Skills (for preferred). Or Qualifications for required and Skills for preferred. Let's do Requirements for required, Skills for preferred.
- Benefits: The "Employee Benefits:" paragraph. We'll put under Benefits.
- Pay: The "Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $132962 - $226035". We'll put under Pay.
- Schedule: The description mentions full-time on site, 100% of the time. That's schedule info. We'll put under Schedule.
We must not include sections with placeholder or vague content. All these have concrete info.
We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove navigation etc. The text includes some boilerplate like "This position will be posted for at least 5 calendar days..." etc. That's not needed; we should remove.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., required education: Active Top Secret Clearance, Bachelor's degree in CS/CE or related technical field, 6+ years professional software development (2+ years if earned a Master's degree in STEM field), Advanced-level experience with OO design, development practices, and implementation in C++11 (or later), Advanced-level experience developing for and operating in a Linux Environment, Knowledge of software architectures, industry best practices, and emerging software technologies, Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills, Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing requirements.
Preferred: Master's or PhD in CS/CE or related technical field, Experience developing algorithms in MATLAB or converting MATLAB algorithms to C++, Development experience with Python, GPU OPENCL or CUDA development experience highly desired, Experience in a rapid prototype environment, Real-time, embedded, multi-threaded, low latency development and/or Linux application development, Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, or automated release management, Experience with containerization (e.g. Podman/Docker) and developing software in containerized environments, Cloud Native Technologies experience (e.g. Kubernetes, Harbor, Helm, etc.), Experience developing applications that cover several of: distributed, multi-threaded, real time, embedded, low latency, DSP, device control, or military systems, RF, Radar, EO/IR, Electronic Warfare, Signal Processing or Software Defined Radio experience, Software reverse engineering, RF or software cyber experience, Embedded Linux experience (Yocto, Buildroot, Petalinux, etc.), Knowledge of Digital Engineering methodologies and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices.
We need to keep those exactly as given, but we can format as list items.
Also About the role: we need to keep the descriptive paragraphs. We'll combine them into
elements.
Responsibilities: we need to extract duties: design, write, integrate, test cutting edge software based around challenging algorithms, platforms, environments; creating prototype, proof of concept, low volume product with minimal process and documentation requirements; turn groundbreaking research into real-life impact; develop advanced capabilities in advanced electronics, sensors and processing, AI, autonomy, RF, EO/IR, cyber, microelectronics, etc.; collaborate across innovation ecosystem; etc. Also "Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and secure access to sensitive information, this role will be performed full-time on site." That's more schedule but could be responsibility to work onsite. We'll keep schedule separate.
