They are also directly involved in planning their own work, as part of the agile methodology, with a focus on technical excellence.

The BSM team is a large software development team comprised of several smaller agile teams, some with specialized skills. Our backlog includes everything from new feature development using cutting-edge technology to maintenance of legacy software baselines. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working in an often fast-paced environment within a two-week "sprint" schedule. Adaptability, the ability to work closely with others, and an open mind are essential attributes of team members. Experience in software development is required, and agile development experience is highly beneficial. A background in military aircraft, weapons, simulation, or training systems is desired.

Position Responsibilities:

• Assists with development, documentation, and maintenance of architectures, requirements, algorithms, interfaces, and designs for software systems.
