About The Position

DRS RADA Technologies is seeking a full-time, on-site Software Engineer II to design, build, and maintain modern front-end applications and full-stack features that support mission-critical radar and defense systems. This hands-on role is ideal for an engineer with strong TypeScript and React skills who enjoys building user-facing software, integrating with backend services, and turning complex workflows into usable application features. Prior radar or defense experience is helpful but not required; we value strong software fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn complex technical domains.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field, plus at least two years of relevant software engineering experience, or equivalent experience.
Experience developing production user interfaces using TypeScript and a modern component-based framework such as React, React Native, or Angular.
Experience contributing to the design, build, test, debug, and maintenance of user-facing application features.
Experience integrating front-end applications with backend services, APIs, data sources, or system workflows.
Experience with at least one backend or general-purpose programming language such as Node.js, Python, C#, Java, or similar.
Experience using Git and working in a collaborative software development environment.
Ability to learn complex technical domains, communicate clearly, and work effectively with software, systems, integration, and test engineers.
U.S. citizenship is required.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance may be required for future program work.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Build, test, debug, and maintain front-end applications and full-stack features that support mission-critical radar and defense systems.
Develop user-facing application features using TypeScript, React, and related front-end technologies.
Integrate user interfaces with backend services, REST APIs, data sources, and system workflows.
Collaborate with backend, systems, integration, and test engineers to turn complex requirements into usable software features.
Help turn limited requirements, CONOPS, and user workflows into practical application designs that can be reviewed, refined, and implemented.
Participate in code reviews, debugging, testing, documentation, and delivery of production-quality software.
Help improve usability, reliability, maintainability, and consistency across application features.
Learn relevant domain concepts such as radar workflows, Linux-based environments, and mission-system operations.
