As a software engineer in this role, you will join a Scrum team and help scope, implement, and integrate new software. You will also employ best practices in the industry to ensure maximum code reusability, extensibility, and modularity. This is a hybrid position and you will work in Dayton, OH, and collaborate with teammates in Dayton and Columbus that have backgrounds in multiple disciplines, including: artificial intelligence, human factors, software development, simulation integration, and military Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). 

Essential Job Functions:

You may work on:

Implementing algorithms, to include multi-vehicle planning, allocation, and mission construction.

Designing and building system architecture, to include scoping applications and their data exchange.

Leveraging natural language processing to support user input to the system, or to construct variable-scale multi-vehicle operations.

Building user interfaces in C# using WPF, Blazor, and Uno Platform technologies, and in C++ using Qt.

You’ll work in a collaborative environment with other software engineers of varied backgrounds, human factors experts, and experts in natural language processing and machine learning.

Required Skills:
