Project/Unit Description
GTRI’s Signals and Systems Division (SASD) in the Advanced Concepts Laboratory (ACL) seeks qualified candidates for the position of a Software Architect within the Operational Capabilities Branch (OCB).
This Research Faculty position involves using computer science and software architecting to develop modeling and simulation environments and analysis techniques to solve challenging real-world problems related to national defense.
SASD consists of a staff of research professionals engaged in a portfolio of research related to next-generation aerospace technology analysis and innovation, including RF/EO/IR sensor physics, signal processing algorithms and techniques, EM maneuver warfare, effects-based modeling and simulation, verification and validation, advanced threat analysis, and operations research/developmental planning.
ACL develops tailored solutions for a broad range of national security challenges through disciplined application of physics- and effects-based modeling to realizable systems, augmented with prototype development and testing.
ACL’s research thrusts extend across domains, and include bio-, chemical-, RF-, and optical-sensor physics; materials science and engineering; electromagnetic theory, computation, structures, and measurements; electronic warfare techniques and applications; operational scenario modeling and simulation; traditional and asymmetric threat analysis; and ground maneuver warfare.
The Software Architect will collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team inclusively composed of software engineers, modeling and simulation engineers, and model-based systems engineers to architect complex analysis frameworks.
They will leverage their knowledge of high-performance computing, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, agile development, and configuration management to take on lead roles of small teams of engineers.
The successful candidate will manage projects and technical subtasks to meet team goals, working with sponsors, engineers, and GTRI management.
They will also participate in sponsor engagement efforts to identify potential opportunities, develop proposals, and manage business lines.
Job Purpose Software Architects design, develop, and deploy software solutions for GTRI's applied research sponsors.
This position requires providing technical leadership, including design documentation that details recommendations and implementation details about software subsystems, hardware technologies, and deployment requirements.
Software Architects should be able to independently implement any portion of the design process, as needed for custom implementations.
Key Responsibilities Responsible for developing software system architectures to solve complex analytic systems Responsible for developing complex test plans and coordinating testing activities.
Tests may be performed in the lab or at remote field sites.
Field test coordination logistics are very complex.
Responsible for success of field testing including efficient troubleshooting of test or system malfunctions, on-the-fly interpretation of test results, and ability to modify test plans to adapt to tests results on the fly Diagnose and troubleshoot systems as required, then perform or detail required resolutions Perform comparative analysis to similar systems, assessing system strengths and weaknesses Research system theory and design concepts and implementation methods to help in determining system functionality, state of the art, and potential weaknesses Primary author of technical reports/presentations for projects of high complexity.
Compile report input from other researchers and prepare final report deliverable Additional Responsibilities Integrate with study planning, mission modeling, and data analysis functional teams Lead by example, establish best practices and coding patterns, and mentor others to produce extensible and maintainable code Identify areas of dependency and overlap with other teams or team members and drive coordination to resolve conflicts between teams Support deployment of DevOps pipelines for automated build, check, and test of software and or firmware items Document software requirements and design implementations.
Develop skills and training as part of the greater GTRI workforce using professional development funding Contribute to the innovative, cutting-edge software research using Independent Research and Development (IRAD) Required Minimum Qualifications BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline Able to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret Security Clearance Experience with any or all of the following languages: C#, C++ Python Java Experience with both Windows and Linux operating systems Experience utilizing DevOps tools such as the Atlassian tool suite or GitLab Interpersonal skills, including verbal and written communication skills.
Must be able to convey highly technical material in a clear, concise manner to a nontechnical audience Preferred Qualifications Active TS/SCI Clearance MS or Ph.
