SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (Full Time Position)

This opening is for a Senior Software Engineer leading and supporting a government funded effort.  The Resilient Cognitive Solution (RCS) team is dedicated to providing principle-driven design of human-machine systems with the central focus on creating highly effective decision support systems.  This position works closely with highly talented system designers and will perform a full range of advanced object oriented software engineering tasks, e.g. requirements, various UML design artifacts, unit and system testing in JAVA, FLEX, and other software environments.

This position focuses on the following:

• Performing CMM Level 2/3 software development for government funded projects
• Rapid prototyping of key technology risk areas early in project lifecycle
• Iterative evaluations of system prototypes and operational evaluations of fielded decision support systems
• Works as part of a multidisciplinary team, leading the software development effort, supervising a team of software developers
• Developing innovative and useful GUI designs for these complex domains
• Estimating and planning software projects

MS in Computer Science or related field; (BS with equivalent experience considered).

6 years minimum programming experience in JAVA, FLEX, or similar.  JDBC a plus.  Knowledge of Windows NT/2000/XP is very important.  Knowledge of relational databases and excellent communication skills required.

Must have good object oriented design skills and RDBMS / SQL development skills, and proficiency in ASP, HTML, Oracle, Visual Basic and Object or Data Modeling tools. Training and experience with CASE supported object oriented software engineering methods (e.g. OMT, UML) and use of advanced OO techniques such as patterns, templates, and JAVA security very important. Knowledge of 3-tier web solutions and middleware tools is an advantage.

Since this is a highly visible position, we are looking for candidates who can lead software teams with strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate their technical knowledge effectively within the team and with the customer. Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills are essential.

Must have experience building production level software for standalone and web-based solutions.
