Job Description
Our Software Integration Team drives software integration, troubleshooting, and debugging for the F-35 and ADP Skunkworks Mission Systems. We play a pivotal role in delivering software that's ready for the warfighter.
What You'll Do
As a System Integration Engineer, you'll guide the technology development lifecycle-from system and software design through automation tooling and infrastructure enhancements. You'll work across a variety of host environments, including:
• Aircraft flight-software
• Simulated mission systems
• Laboratory setups that combine constructive simulations, physical hardware, and system-level models
Your core responsibilities include:
• Support Third-Party Certifications - Coordinate and manage certification activities with external vendors, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD and other applicable standards.
• Manage Service License Agreements (SLAs) - Track, negotiate, and maintain SLAs and associated documentation for all third-party software and hardware components.
• Approve Requirements & Documentation - Review and approve system-level requirements, design documents, and test reports for completeness and traceability.
• Develop & Maintain System Documentation - Author and update system architecture diagrams, configuration baselines, and certification dossiers.
• Perform Light Scripting & Automation - Write modest scripts (e.g., Python) to automate routine validation, data-extraction, and reporting tasks.
• Maintain and Troubleshoot CI/CD Pipelines - Ensure build and deployment pipelines support system-level integration and certification artifacts.
• Support Virtual Development Labs & Aircraft-Software Processes - Aid in the setup, operation, and sustainment of virtual labs that emulate flight-software and mission-system environments.
• Design and Implement Automation Tools - Leverage open-source, commercial, and in-house solutions to streamline system integration and certification workflows.
• Participate in Agile Ceremonies - Contribute to daily scrums, sprint reviews, and technical demos, representing system-engineering perspectives.
