The applications provide oversight and control of physical equipment and monitor services for alerts to operations centers and mission application users. The engineer will learn the applications and the virtual and physical systems being monitored, and help develop alerts and other updates. The role supports more than 12 efforts spanning hardware and software development, including equipment configuration and maintenance, back-end repositories, front-end dashboards, and the full data-processing thread. Teams range from one or two developers to 12 and work alongside the customer to discuss requirements, identify solutions, and determine implementation. The engineering office also plans for future needs and challenges. The engineer develops, maintains, and enhances software systems based on documented requirements; reviews and tests software components; documents test results; resolves software problem reports; and applies appropriate development and design methodologies. The role contributes to system design decisions, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS options, and requirements analysis. Additional duties include analyzing user requirements, modifying software and configurations, debugging issues, reviewing security scans, researching and implementing mitigations, integrating software into systems or operating environments, and recommending improvements to documentation and development standards.
