The Software Engineer's primary responsibility is to work as a member of the Global Track Processing software development team to design, develop, test, and investigate innovative solutions contributing to the Missile Defense program. Non-standard work hours are possible during key events, and a small amount of travel may be required.

The Global Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications program is a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Critical to the mission is the Global Track Processing (GTP) team, which strives to present accurate global situational awareness via raw sensor data to the warfighter.

GTP software engineer is expected to have the following professional practical experience:
  • 3+ years of Java development experience writing
    • unit-testable operational code
    • and unit tests exercising said code
  • 2+ years in a Linux-based (preferably Red Hat / CentOS / Oracle Linux) environment
