Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
This Senior Software Engineer will join a small, cross-functional team developing a new product line from initial concepts through prototypes and successive iterations. The role involves designing and developing custom embedded software and applications for products and programs in the Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) portfolio. The engineer will help ensure product reliability, safety, robustness, and lifetime, and may extend the functionality of legacy hardware or develop software for new custom designs. The selected prototype may serve as the basis for several products. The position supports APNT technology for government and military customers, including applications intended to operate reliably in GPS/GNSS-denied environments. The engineer will contribute to project planning and estimation, resolve complex engineering problems, investigate defects and system failures, validate deliverables and documentation, and communicate progress and technical findings. The role may also involve serving as the prime technical contact on small contracts or single-component projects. Safran Federal Systems is a proxy-regulated company free of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), approved to work on classified and unclassified U.S. Government projects.
