Sophisticated integrated systems play a critical role in national security efforts, facilitating an understanding of the global situation, strategic planning, and tactical execution. The reliability, accessibility, and sophistication of these systems can determine the outcomes of conflicts before they begin. STR’s Systems Development Division (SDD) focuses on developing advanced technology solutions to provide asymmetric advantages within the information domain. SDD executes the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecture refinement through implementation and deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems. Current efforts include programs for airborne and space sensors and advanced operations enabled by multi-function, multi-modal capabilities.
As a Lead Software Engineer in SDD, you will design, develop, integrate, and test software implementing complex systems following object-oriented design principles and patterns with a primary focus on air and space applications. This role requires in-person work at our Dayton, OH or Woburn, MA office. Occasional travel (<20%) for meetings or engineering activities is required.
