Job Description:
Seeking a Software Engineer for a contract opportunity in OKC. If you are qualfied, send your resume to [email protected].
Designs, develops, architects, and maintains software solutions for network stack protocol software used to securely exchange data between systems. Partners with stakeholders to identify and review product security requirements. Conducts performance analysis, testing, monitoring and software assessments of networking protocol software to assess, identify and address risks, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Provides input on secure network and protocols throughout the end-to-end lifecycle development of software products. Researches and implements current and emerging networking protocols, software security trends, vulnerabilities, and technologies. Performs software project management activities and software supplier management functions.
The selected candidate will work with the Ground Systems product team focused on the concept, requirements, architecture, design and development of an advanced ground operating system. The Operating System definition we use is broad. Besides covering multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, Cisco IOS, CDOT, WindRiver VXWorks, ESXi, etc) it consists of the provided infrastructure necessary to provide all services of the system. We specialize in air gapped, full featured, and totally self contained systems, but have also developed WAN connected systems.
Position Responsibilities:
Assists with the design, development, architecture, and maintenance of software solutions for network stack protocol software used to securely exchange data between systems.
- Participates in performance analysis, testing, monitoring and software assessments of networking protocol software to assess, identify and address risks, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
- Gathers information to provide input on secure network and protocols throughout the end-to-end lifecycle development of software products.
- Gathers information to support software project management activities and software supplier management functions.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience)
- Bachelor's Degree in an engineering discipline experience and 5 years related relevant work experience
- Experience in Linux deployment and administration including bash scripting, remote access, and deployment
- Experience in Basic networking, storage administration, and package management
- Experience in Basic virtualization principles
- Experience in Containerization, and Kubernetes familiarity
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science
- Knowledge of communications and network concepts and principles. Knowledge of antenna and aperture characteristics for application to communications and network system designs. Knowledge of communications and network system design from architecture development to component design. Knowledge of associated technology and methods. Knowledge of secure communications. Knowledge of methods to ensure communication system survivability. Knowledge of communications and network system power system requirements. Knowledge of radio frequency compatibility. Knowledge of multi-discipline integrating issues applicable to communications and network systems, including primary characteristics such as physical and functional interfaces, communications reliability, link availability, and environmental constraints. Additional characteristics include: human factors, maintainability, testability, supportability, mechanical design, packaging, electrical, and software.
- Knowledge of and the ability to apply communications and network systems regulatory requirements (e.g., Federal Aviation Agency [FAA] regulations, Military Specifications, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Federal Communications Commission [FCC] regulations) and standards (e.g., safety, military, emissions, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering [IEEE], ARINC, Engineering International Association [EIA], International Civil Air Organization [ICAO], International Standards Organization, International Telecommunications Union [ITU], American National Standards Institute [ANSI], Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE]).
- Ability to identify susceptibility, survivability, and vulnerability (S/V) of the systems, subsystems and delivery mechanisms, based on the knowledge of characteristics and capabilities of threats (e.g. protocol exploits, identity spoofing, malware injection techniques, application layer vulnerabilities).
