Software Engineer

About the role

Lyntris is a defense technology company that connects sensing to action across the connected battlespace. We combine hardware, software, and mission expertise to help customers sense threats, make sense of complex conditions, and act with greater speed, precision, and confidence in contested environments. We support U.S. and allied defense organizations across various branches and domains, and we work at every level of the mission, from national command authority to the tactical edge.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain software solutions that support the implementation and integration of open architecture and interoperability standards across defense and aerospace systems.
• Analyze and implement one or more industry and government standards, including the SOSA Technical Standard, FACE, AMS GRA (AGRA/TGRA), and UCI, in support of software and system integration efforts.
• Perform structural and semantic gap analysis between multiple standards and reference architectures (e.g., AMS GRA to/from SOSA) to enable interoperability and data exchange across heterogeneous systems.
• Develop and maintain software interfaces and data models utilizing serialization and interface standards such as OMG IDL, Protocol Buffers, XML Schema (XSD), and XMI.
• Support integration efforts by evaluating, mapping, and transforming data models and interface definitions across multiple standards and architectures.
• Collaborate with software engineers, systems engineers, architects, and program stakeholders to ensure technical solutions align with customer requirements and open systems architecture objectives.
• Participate in technical reviews, architecture discussions, and software design activities supporting government and industry interoperability initiatives.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of software development processes, interoperability practices, and engineering standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience supporting defense, aerospace, or other complex engineering environments.
• Direct working experience with one or more of the following standards or frameworks: SOSA Technical Standard, FACE, AMS GRA (AGRA/TGRA), Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI).
• Knowledge of Government Reference Architectures and consortium adoption and change-package processes.
• Experience implementing or supporting serialization and interface standards including OMG IDL, Protocol Buffers, XML Schema (XSD), and XMI.
• Demonstrated ability to perform structural and semantic gap analysis and integration across two or more standards or reference architectures (e.g., AMS GRA to/from SOSA).
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Currently holds an active U.S. national security clearance or is able to receive and maintain one.
