What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Developer Level 2 position at Jacobs?
Our contract supports more than 10 efforts with varying levels of software development requirements. Our projects are focused on back-end repositories, front end dashboards, as well as everything in between for the full data processing thread. Our teams can range from one to two developers to a team of 12. All our teams work right alongside our customer to discuss requirements, identify solutions, and choose the way forward for implementation. As part of an engineering office, our customer and our workforce look and plan for future expectations- continuously trying to stay ahead of the next challenge.
You may be joining a team of software developers where you will use your experiences to assist the team in developing, maintaining, and enhancing complex and diverse software systems for high-performance embedded DSP / RF systems. Some teams and developers encounter processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, large data sets, and real-time processing systems in this role. You will be responsible for reviewing, testing, and resolving software problems and verifying components adhere to design requirements. You will provide input regarding software components of the system design to include hardware / software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) / Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.
