Software Engineer 3 - I

About the role

The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems based upon documented requirements. They work individually or as part of a team, reviewing and testing software components for adherence to the design requirements and documenting test results. They resolve software problem reports and provide input to the software components of system design.

• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards
• Absorb or assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design
• Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
• Perform quality control on team products
• Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces
• Cook up and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met
• Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects
• Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering
• Ensure quality control of all developed and modified software
• Delegate programming and testing responsibilities to one or more teams and monitor their performance

Requirements

• Twelve years experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university
• Four years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree

Qualifications

• Analyzes system performance standards
• Confers with users or system engineers
• Analyzes systems flow, data usage and work processes
• Investigates problem areas
• Modifies existing software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve its performance
• Designs or implements complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
• Performs quality control on team products
• Implements recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Oversees one or more software development teams and ensures the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
