Software Developer

Booz Allen Hamilton•Colorado Springs, CO

10d•$86,800 - $198,000•Remote

About The Position

Design and tailor software solutions using high-level programming language such as Java, C++, and Python to inform modeling, wargaming, operational concepts and force design recommendations for the United States Space Force (USSF). Build and maintain core simulation tools that underpin the entire command and control (C2) analysis suite. Generate clean, efficient code to integrate new analytic models and behaviors, and improve existing codebases, ensuring optimal software performance and reliability. Perform thorough analysis of both structured data such as databases, spreadsheets, and quantitative datasets and unstructured data including text documents, sensor outputs, and system logs to inform essential software development choices and ensure the accuracy of models utilized in USSF simulation activities. Leverage advanced data mining and machine learning techniques to extract actionable insights, identifying patterns and anomalies that influence modeling, simulation, and operational concepts. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, research analysts, and operational C2 subject matter experts to translate complex data findings into scalable, reliable software features. Prototype innovative software features and optimize simulation tools to ensure software solutions are robust, adaptable, and aligned with the evolving needs of the USSF. Implement and ship modular software updates, optimize simulation runtime performance, and ensure smooth data exchange between C2 software interface and backend simulation logic. Leverage experience with version control systems, documentation practices, and Git workflows to maintain collaborative project environments.
