  • Develop and integrate software drivers, applications, kernels, containers, and virtual machine environments.
  • Support CPU, GPU, and FPGA integration activities using appropriate engineering and development tools.
  • Integrate military lethality, survivability, communications, and C5ISR systems into vehicle architectures.
  • Participate in system integration laboratory (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing activities.
  • Review test plans and support component, subsystem, and vehicle-level testing efforts.
  • Analyze test data, troubleshoot software and hardware issues, and implement corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Support proposal activities, technical planning, delivery schedules, and customer engagements.
  • Maintain technical documentation and engineering artifacts in compliance with development and quality processes.
