About The Position

The role supports software powering the UH-1Y and AH-1Z fleet.

This is a fast-paced, dynamically evolving, on-site role in Patuxent River, Maryland. It is not a coding position.

The position requires an active DoD Secret clearance and the ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance. The estimated annual salary range is $105,000–$145,000, depending on experience, skills, and education; the range may vary based on contractual constraints. Occasional driving to nearby offices or buildings may be required, and travel may be required in rare cases.

• Six to ten years of experience at the Journeyman/Senior level.

Responsibilities

• Safeguard, improve, and oversee the processes and practices used by the PMA and OEMs to develop, verify, and deliver software.
