The
Full Stack Software Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining end-to-end software capabilities that power the company's simulation, digital-engineering, and mission-system platforms. This role blends modern frontend engineering, high-performance backend development, and systems-level thinking to ensure that user interfaces, APIs, data pipelines, and real-time services are coherent, scalable, secure, and aligned with mission and product objectives. You will develop advanced React interfaces, implement high-throughput backend services in Python/C++/Rust, integrate with distributed systems and simulation workflows, and collaborate closely with systems
engineers, mission analysts, UI/UX designers, and DevOps teams to deliver reliable, data-rich, and performance-critical applications across aerospace and defense environments.
Major Responsibilities- Design and build full-stack software capabilities supporting simulation, digital-engineering, and mission-system workflows.
- Develop advanced frontend interfaces using TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and scalable UI architectures.
- Implement high-performance backend services in Python, C++, or Rust for APIs, microservices, and real-time pipelines.
- Integrate with distributed systems including simulation engines, data pipelines, and mission-analysis tools.
- Design and maintain APIs including REST, GraphQL, and gRPC interfaces with strong schema governance.
- Build real-time processing pipelines supporting deterministic, concurrent, or multi-threaded execution.
- Develop complex visualization tools for physics-based simulations and real-time system behavior.
- Ensure reliability and observability through logging, metrics, tracing, error handling, and automated testing.
- Collaborate across engineering disciplines including systems, mission analysis, UI/UX, and DevOps.
- Contribute to CI/CD and engineering rigor through testing, code reviews, and Git-driven workflows.
Ideal Experience - STEM foundation - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related STEM field.
- Full-stack engineering experience - 1-5 years building production systems across frontend and backend domains.
- Systems-level understanding - Concurrency, distributed systems, data modeling, caching, and performance optimization.
- Modern frontend expertise - TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and contemporary UI engineering practices.
- Core web fundamentals - HTML, CSS, browser internals, rendering pipelines, and performance constraints.
- Advanced React patterns - Hooks, context architectures, compound components, scalable state management.
- Design systems & component architecture - Component libraries, design systems, CSS-in-JS, modular CSS, utility-first approaches.
- Complex visualization work - Physics-based simulations, engineering workflows, real-time system behavior.
- Backend integration fluency - REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets.
