  • Develop and maintain Linux-based software using Python, Linux scripting languages, Go, C, and C++
  • Create high- and low-level design documentation
  • Conduct design reviews and participate in code inspections
  • Develop automated unit tests and support software quality
  • Estimate design and feature-development work, track project stories and tasks, report status, and deliver work on schedule
  • Continually improve software design, development, and testing processes
  • Help establish and maintain software build environments and source-code repositories for assigned projects

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • 7–12 years of software development experience
  • Strong software architecture and design background, especially in Linux environments
  • Expert application-development skills in Linux using Python and/or Linux scripting languages and C/C++; Go experience may also be relevant
  • Expert ability to analyze data and develop solutions based on findings
  • Experience developing web services and other APIs
  • Strong technical leadership skills, with the ability to champion new ideas and concepts within a senior development team
  • Ability to provide leadership and direction in a senior software engineering team
  • Strong estimation and project-delivery skills
  • Experience with Jenkins automation build and test environments
  • Software configuration-management experience using Git
  • Experience supporting products in the field

Even Better If You Have

  • Experience with avionics and ARINC protocols
  • Software engineering experience using open-source packages in data communications or telecommunications systems
  • Linux networking experience, including routing, iptables, traffic shaping, quality of service, DHCP, and DNS
