Develops, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems (e.g., processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management systems) based upon documented requirements.
Works individually or as part of a team.
Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results.
Resolves software problem reports.
Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment.
Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Govemment Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.
Analyze user requirements to derive software design and perfonnance requirements.
Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features.
Debug existing software and correct defects.
Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments.
Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.
Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards.
Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system perfonnance and functional standards.
Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
Write or review software and system documentation.
Develop software solutions by analyzing system peformance standards, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas.
Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project.
Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its perfonnance.
Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design.
REQUIREMENTS:
TS/SCI w/ FSP clearance required. Twenty (20) years' experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.
Bachelor's degree in computer science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
