Full Job Description
Designs, develops, tests, sustains, and modernizes BMx software capabilities supporting FMxC2, IMDS/IMDS-MSM, FEM, and PAMS operational workflows. Software Engineers support Agile sprint execution across cloud-native, web, middleware, API, database, and legacy application environments while ensuring code changes align to operational mission requirements, cybersecurity controls, DevSecOps governance, and release-readiness standards.

Software Engineers work closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Functional SMEs, System Architects, Enterprise Integration personnel, and Independent Test Teams to implement backlog items supporting sustainment, modernization, technical debt reduction, cloud migration, operational reporting, and workflow automation.

Within BMx, Software Engineers must understand the operational sensitivity of maintenance scheduling, discrepancy tracking, PMEL operations, TMDE visibility, aircraft history management, readiness reporting, and logistics support workflows. Development activities are therefore coordinated carefully to preserve operational continuity during modernization and sustainment execution.
