This position is ideal for a C++ generalist who thrives on tackling complex challenges in systems and systems integration. If you enjoy building cross-language software, improving CI/CD pipelines, and integrating distributed real-time systems, you'll find this role rewarding. Join a team that's driving innovation through robust software engineering and practical integration work across simulation environments, third-party systems, and development workflows.
What You'll Do:- Design, implement, and maintain C++ and Python software in support of complex, cross-platform systems.
- Contribute to system architecture with a focus on performance, maintainability, and integration.
- Develop and support APIs and messaging interfaces (e.g., gRPC, REST, ZeroMQ). Integrate third-party software and hardware systems, including real-time and simulation tools.
- Debug and support distributed systems, with attention to threading, timing, and data flow.
- Apply modern agile practices such as test-driven development, continuous integration, and automated testing.
- Improve and maintain CI/CD workflows using tools like GitLab CI, Docker, CMake, and Conan.
- Collaborate across teams and projects to share solutions and promote good software practices.
- Continuously learn and adapt to new tools, standards, and technologies.
Required Qualifications:- Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 4 years and a Master's degree; or 2 years with a PhD; or equivalent work experience.
- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) with the ability to work effectively in legacy codebases (C++98/03).
- Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments, including system-level development and debugging tools.
- Experience with Python.
- Professional experience in Linux environments (Windows experience is a bonus).
- Solid understanding of system-level engineering and design patterns.
- Experience in a collaborative environment with CI/CD and test automation.
- Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker.
- Active SECRET clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience integrating distributed simulation environments such as AFSIM or NGTS.
- Familiarity with open standards like UCI and OMS, and an understanding of data buses and interface protocols common in avionics and aircraft systems.
- Familiarity with simulation tools and modeling frameworks.
- Experience with networking concepts and messaging infrastructure.
- Hands-on experience with CMake, Conan, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
- Exposure to real-time systems and hardware/software integration.
