This engineer will implement CI/CD pipelines build and debug Docker containers write integration tests prepare code drops for leaderboard scoring and help enforce coding standards across contributions from multiple subcontractor organizations. The right candidate is a strong software engineer who is comfortable working across the stack from low-level C and Python to container orchestration and automated testing.

Position Responsibilities

• Build maintain and troubleshoot Docker containers that package the full software system for delivery to T&E testbeds
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipeline stages including automated builds unit tests integration tests static analysis and artifact packaging using tools such as GitLab CI Jenkins or GitHub Actions
• Prepare Monthly Code Drop (MCD) and quarterly Major Code Revision (MCR) packages ensuring each release includes working containers execution scripts and updated documentation
• Execute self-test leaderboard runs on internal hardware validate scoring outputs diagnose failures and report results for inclusion in Monthly Status Reports
• Write and maintain integration tests that verify software components from different subcontractor teams interoperate correctly when assembled into the unified container
• Apply and enforce coding standards on incoming subcontractor code contributions including inline comments documentation consistent formatting and version control practices
• Manage dependency resolution version pinning and reproducible build configurations so that containers produce identical results across development and evaluation environments
• Prepare integration demonstrations and technical materials supporting Preliminary Design Reviews Critical Design Reviews site visits and quarterly progress reviews
• Maintain internal documentation including build procedures known issues interface specifications and troubleshooting guides for the integration environment

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of experience with a Bachelors degree 3 years with a Masters degree or a PhD in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related technical field

• Experience writing integration and regression tests for multi-component software systems
• Working knowledge of Git version control including branching strategies merge conflict resolution and repository hygiene in multi-contributor environments
• Familiarity with REST API concepts and basic experience testing or implementing API endpoints
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation: build instructions interface notes release checklists and troubleshooting guides
• US Citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance

Desired Qualifications

• Experience working on government-funded research programs (IARPA DARPA or equivalent) particularly in roles involving software delivery to independent evaluation teams
• Experience with container security hardening image scanning or compliance requirements for government deployment environments
• Familiarity with Agile development practices in a research or R&D context
• Familiarity with generative AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch preferred) including packaging trained models for inference running inference pipelines and integrating model outputs into larger systems
• Hands-on experience with software radio and GNU Radio (3.8) including out-of-tree (OOT) module development flowgraph construction and integration with SDR hardware (Ettus USRP series preferred)
• Experience with formal verification or formal methods tools (SMT solvers such as Z3 property-based testing or symbolic regression tools such as PySR)
• Experience integrating software from multiple external organizations with different coding styles languages and delivery formats
• MS in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related technical field is preferred
