About The Position

Beyond New Horizons, LLC (BNH) has an exciting opportunity for an ID&C Software Developer supporting the Test and Operations Sustainment (TOS) II contract at Arnold Air Force Base in Tullahoma, TN. As an ID&C Software Developer, you will work as a key member of an integrated engineering team responsible for the hands-on design, development, optimization, and real-time data distribution of software systems in aeropropulsion, wind tunnel, and Hypersonics facilities. This includes creating and managing high-speed data stream processing software in an aerospace ground test environment. This position requires occasional scheduled extended hours and/or weekend work to meet critical test window requirements and occasional unscheduled support in emergency test cell recovery situations. The successful candidate will serve as a hands-on ID&C Software Developer, applying advanced programming, packet formatting, and real-time messaging skills to build and sustain complex applications that capture, process, and distribute high-volume aerospace test data. Under the direction of software engineering and facility management, you will develop high-speed communications drivers, data packet structures for ultra-low latency streaming, such as Data Distribution Service (DDS) to support data acquisition and redistribution. You will play a central role in writing, debugging, and maintaining clean code to support advanced wind tunnels, rocket motor test cells, and Hypersonics.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or another STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) discipline from an accredited college or university.
A minimum of two (2) years of experience in software development, which must include work with software design, coding, testing, and Git version control.
Must be able to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense Secret level security clearance and access to the AEDC local area network.
U.S. Citizenship is required due to Air Force security requirements at AEDC.

Nice To Haves

DDS Proficiency: Direct experience implementing, tuning, or debugging Data Distribution Service (DDS) publish-subscribe systems or similar industrial messaging broker systems.
Packet Structure Design: Demonstrated understanding of network programming, socket communication, byte-alignment, custom packet headers, and data serialization techniques.
Embedded & Real-Time Operating Systems: Experience programming in real-time Linux & Windows environments or writing low-level device drivers.
Agile Frameworks: Experience working within Agile development methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), using tools like Jira or GitLab issues for sprint planning.
Security Certification: Active CompTIA Security+ certification, or a higher-level cybersecurity certification.
Active Security Clearance: Possess an active DoD Security Clearance.

Responsibilities

Develop, test, and maintain robust real-time applications using C/C++ and Python.
Define, parse, and optimize custom binary and serialized network data packet structures to ensure highly efficient, low-overhead transmission of high-frequency data streams.
Implement and configure Data Distribution Service (DDS) along with TCP/IP & UDP sockets to manage distributed, publish-subscribe data systems with precise Quality of Service (QoS) constraints.
Develop, debug, and scale low-latency data ingestion pipeline scripts to handle complex calculations in data storage, archiving, and real-time visualization applications.
Utilize Git-based version control (GitLab, with exposure to CI/CD pipelines) and modern development environments (including CLion, PyCharm, and Visual Studio) to maintain codebase security, version integrity, and follow strict configuration control practices.
Collaborate with instrumentation, control, and electrical engineers to integrate custom software with hardware.
Apply software security best practices to meet Federal Information Assurance and Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity guidelines.
Participate in and foster a team environment based on technical excellence, transparency, mutual trust, continuous learning, and active problem-solving.
It is a condition of employment to wear company-issued Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance with supervisory direction and company policy.
Perform other related duties that include executing additional technical, operational, or administrative programming tasks as required to support the contract mission.
