Supervisor, Software Developer

Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of software engineers, including task assignment, technical guidance, and performance feedback.
• Cook up development activities across all phases of the Software Development Lifecycle.
• Support planning and execution of software releases across multiple system or customer configurations.
• Ensure engineering work aligns with configuration management processes, release procedures, and quality standards.
• Provide technical oversight of software architecture, implementation approaches, and integration strategies.
• Cook up cross-functional activities with systems engineering, test, integration labs, and program management.
• Support software integration and troubleshooting within lab, simulation, and operational environments.
• Evaluate and implement process improvements to enhance development efficiency, quality, and delivery reliability.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external engineering teams, program management, and customers within assigned projects.
• Support program execution needs, including schedule-driven integration or release activities.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in computer science, information systems or a related discipline and progressive software development experience as follows; six or more years of experience with a bachelors degree or two or more years of experience with a masters degree.

• Ability to organize, schedule, and manage technical work across multiple concurrent efforts with competing priorities.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate technical approaches, make sound engineering decisions, and resolve complex system-level problems.
• Experience supporting software integration, verification, and test activities across lab, simulation, or operational environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation and formal engineering reviews.
• Capability to serve as a primary technical point of contact for assigned software scope.
• Able to work independently and collaboratively in a structured development environment.
• Experience supporting configuration-controlled software delivery within integrated lab or operational environments (e.g., simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, or fielded systems), including formal configuration management and traceable, baselined releases across multiple system configurations.
• Willingness to support program execution needs, including extended hours during integration or release milestones when required.
• Able to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance is required.
