Edge Processing Solutions Engineer

Booz Allen Hamilton • Rome, NY

1d • $112,800 - $257,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Booz Allen is seeking an Edge Processing Solutions Engineer to lead an engineering team of up to eight engineers on a new effort growing out of an established program. The role owns technical direction end-to-end, including architecture, delivery, customer engagement, and team leadership, while remaining hands-on in the codebase. The team builds Go-based software for tactical edge environments that are disconnected, resource-constrained, airborne, or forward-deployed. The portfolio includes ISR data pipelines, autonomous platform integration, and the Kubernetes runtime needed to deploy these capabilities.

The position leads an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability. It involves developing production Go services, designing Kubernetes-native systems, owning the Kubernetes runtime on edge hardware, creating secure and reproducible CI/CD artifacts, and integrating with tactical data standards and ISR sensor pipelines. The engineer mentors the team, sets technical standards, engages directly with customers to turn operator needs into technical requirements, and supports proposals and capture work for follow-on scope. The role is hybrid and based in Rome, New York.

Requirements

• At least 6 years of professional software engineering experience.
• At least 2 years of experience in a technical lead or engineering lead role.
• Experience using Go as a primary systems language in production.
• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes in production.
• Systems-level Linux experience, including systems, networking, filesystems such as overlays or tempfs, and containers under the hood.
• Ability to mentor engineers and raise the technical bar of a team.
• Secret clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with the CoT or TAK ecosystem, including TAK Server, ATAK or WINTAK, and CoT message handling.
• Experience in ISR, UAS, or autonomous platform software, such as PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, or sensor integration.
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or edge GPU scheduling, including device plugins, MIG, and CUDA on Kubernetes.
• Experience writing or contributing to white papers, capability briefs, or technical proposal volumes.
• Experience with disconnected or air-gapped software delivery, including image syncing, registry mirroring, offline package management, and update strategies for systems that cannot phone home.
• Experience using Rust or modern C++ in production.
• Experience using K3S, MicroK8s, or another Kubernetes flavor on constrained hardware.
• TS/SCI clearance.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery for an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability.
• Build and maintain Go services for disconnected and intermittently connected environments.
• Design Kubernetes-native systems, including workload architecture, Helm charts, custom controllers or operators where warranted, and separation between platform and application concerns.
• Own the Kubernetes runtime, including K3S on edge hardware, image distribution into air-gapped enclaves, GPU scheduling, and read-only root filesystems.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines, such as GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, that produce signed, scanned, and reproducible artifacts.
• Integrate with tactical data standards such as Cursor on Target or TAK, and with ISR sensor pipelines.
• Mentor engineers, set technical standards, and conduct code reviews with a high bar.
• Interface directly with customers to translate operator needs into technical requirements and communicate technical information back to them.
• Support proposal and capture work for follow-on scope.
