About The Position

Auria is looking to hire an X-Lab Software Engineer to support the Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program. This role is ONSITE and is based at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, CO, and plays a critical role in supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels. The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a crucial part of the Missile Defense System. It provides an essential operational platform that allows the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and tactical levels to systematically plan missile defense operations, monitor battle progress, and actively control networked sensors and weapon systems to meet global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC offers a layered missile defense capability, delivering an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It acts as a force multiplier by connecting, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations both worldwide and locally to enhance overall performance. Additionally, C2BMC is a key component of all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the missile defense system's current and future capabilities. The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications Experimentation Laboratory (C2BMC X-Lab) offers a fast-paced and dynamic environment. The X-Lab is tasked with developing and integrating future-capability prototypes for the Missile Defense System, including Sensor/Weapon Integration, Algorithm Development, User Interface Development, and other advanced missile defense technologies. The Software Engineer's primary role is to serve as a mid-level team member, focusing on developing and testing innovative solutions for X-Lab projects and experiments.
