About The Position

This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS). Mission Technologies’ Global Security (GS) group comprises live, virtual, constructive (LVC) solutions; fleet sustainment; nuclear and environmental; and Australia business. As a trusted partner to our military customers, HII designs, develops and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle. With advanced capabilities to enable mission readiness, HII understands that preparation requires full coordination—not readiness in piece-parts. For more than 40 years, the U.S. Navy has entrusted HII to maintain and modernize the vast majority of its fleet. With a holistic approach to life-cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness. HII supports the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country. HII meets clients’ toughest nuclear and environmental challenges. HII Mission Technologies is seeking a motivated Software Engineer to support Navy software modernization and integration efforts within the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) portfolio. This role offers a Hybrid schedule (typically 1–2 days onsite per week). Hybrid participation supports effective teamwork and engineering coordination; fully remote may be considered for highly qualified candidates outside the local region. NIWC Pacific’s mission includes developing modern, secure, and reliable software systems that enable advanced command‑and‑control, data management, and mission‑support functions across Navy platforms. In this position, you’ll contribute to applications developed in C#, Angular, and modern object‑oriented frameworks that directly support mission‑critical operations, system interoperability, and data‑driven decision tools. This role is ideal for engineers with strong C# fundamentals, experience developing web‑based or modular applications, and an interest in supporting Navy technology programs. You’ll work closely with government engineers, cross‑functional development teams, and HII technical staff to design, build, troubleshoot, and integrate new software features across distributed Navy systems.
