Software Engineer, Level 3

What you will be doing!

As a Level 3 Software Engineer, you will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and enhancing complex software systems, including processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems. Your work will be based on documented requirements, and you may work both individually and as part of a team.

Your responsibilities will include reviewing and testing software components to ensure they meet design requirements, as well as documenting the test results. You will also resolve software problem reports.

You will utilize appropriate software development and design methodologies based on the development environment. Additionally, you will provide specific input on system design related to hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, and the use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) products instead of developing new solutions. Your role will involve analyzing and synthesizing requirements from the system level down to individual software components.
