Edge Processing Solutions Engineer

Booz Allen Hamilton • Rome, NY

1d • $112,800 - $257,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Edge Processing Solutions Engineer leads an engineering team of up to eight engineers on a new effort growing out of an established program. This hands-on technical lead owns end-to-end technical direction, including architecture, delivery, customer engagement, and team leadership, while contributing directly to the codebase. The work focuses on Go-based software systems operating at the tactical edge in disconnected, resource-constrained, airborne, or forward-deployed environments. The portfolio includes ISR data pipelines, autonomous platform integration, and the Kubernetes runtime needed to deploy these capabilities.

The role leads an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability. It designs and operates Kubernetes-native systems and runtime environments, builds reliable software delivery pipelines, and integrates with tactical data standards and ISR sensor pipelines. The position also engages customers to translate operator needs into technical requirements and supports proposal and capture work for follow-on scope. The position is hybrid and located in Rome, New York.

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or edge GPU scheduling, including device plugins, MIG, and CUDA on Kubernetes.
• Experience writing or contributing to whitepapers, 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.
• Production experience using Rust or modern C++.
• 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.

• 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 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 needs back to operators.
• Support proposal and capture work for follow-on scope.
