Security Verification Test (SVT) Software Engineer (mid-senior levels accepted). The selected individual will perform software development activities as a member of an agile development team focused on preparation and execution of verification tests of our software releases. Development includes the full range of turning agile stories into implementable concepts, through development, testing and deployment of the new capabilities in this large, complex system.

Following the Behavior Driven Development (BDD) pattern, our developers are responsible for implementing robust testing leveraging DEVOPS automation and, where appropriate, use of test automation commercial tools. Developers will have the opportunity to focus on developing customer domain specific language code and there are a range of opportunities for Java, embedded C++, scripting languages, object-oriented modeling tools, low-level programming, serialization/deserialization, and dependency injection.

The SVT Software Engineer will be responsible for software development activities both individually and as a member of an agile team. She/he will actively participate in Program Increment planning and related team activities, and will analyze and study complex system requirements, use design software tools, provide support using formal specifications, data flow diagrams, and other accepted design techniques with the use of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, and will use sound software engineering principles to ensure that developed code is modifiable, efficient, reliable, understandable, fault tolerant, and reusable.

The individual will provide software process management and control throughout the coding portion of the software development process. Additionally, the individual will promote code reuse and cross-program collaboration while reducing maintenance costs by creating common functions and shared actions for developers and testers. The selected individual will engineer, author, tune, and document automation scripts in a development environment and deploy to the test/production bench.
