We are looking for a Lead Mission Software Engineer to build and lead this function from the ground up. This is a foundational leadership role: you will shape the team's technical direction, hire and develop engineers, and personally contribute to the hardest problems. The team is growing rapidly — the right person is equally comfortable architecting deployment pipelines, debugging a system in the field, and mentoring an IC2 through their first production incident.

This role demands a "whatever it takes" mindset: executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on time, and with high quality.

Build and rapidly grow the EW Mission Software Engineering team

Set the technical direction for mission software — architecture, engineering standards, tooling, and deployment practices

Personally contribute hands-on engineering work: system debugging, software patching, infrastructure, and integration

Own the delivery, installation, and sustainment of operational EW systems — from production through field deployment

Triage field issues, drive root cause analysis, and coordinate rapid fixes across software and hardware teams

Establish processes for incident response, post-incident review, and preventive engineering

Partner with operators and customers to understand mission needs, translate them into engineering action, and close the feedback loop between the field and development

Collaborate with embedded software, applications engineering, and test/QA to ensure mission-critical fixes flow into future releases

Coordinate with release engineering to qualify and manage builds for field deployment

Travel up to 30% to support deployments, integration events, and customer engagements
