Original job description

Lead Software Engineer/Technical Program Manager Job Locations US-CO-Colorado Springs | US-MA-Boston ID 2026-8141 Category Program Management Type Full Time Biweekly Hours 80 Location : Name Colorado Springs, CO Min USD $180,000.00/Yr. Max USD $220,000.00/Yr. Position Summary We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer / Technical Program Manager to own both the technical architecture and program execution of the Multimode Threat Engagement Simulation Platform - a standalone, high-performance desktop application for defense mission planning. This is a dual-charter role: you are the technical authority for the software stack and the program manager accountable to the government customer for schedule, cost, and delivered capability. What sets this role apart from a traditional software lead is the breadth of sensor and phenomenology domain knowledge required. The platform integrates physics-based models spanning RF/radar detection, electro-optical and infrared sensor performance and multi-sensor fusion into a single coherent mission analysis tool. You will work directly with RF and EO/IR engineers to translate their models into the software - which means you need enough domain fluency to review their work, design the right APIs, make informed trade-off decisions, and present results credibly to government customers who are subject matter experts in these disciplines. ***Contingent upon contract award***

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Own the end-to-end software architecture: Julia-based computation backend (trajectory simulation, orbital mechanics, Monte Carlo analysis, surrogate ML inference), React/TypeScript frontend with CesiumJS 3D geospatial visualization, and Electron desktop shell targeting Windows and Linux
Make and document architecture decisions: data flow between physics backend and frontend, API contracts, mission data schema, CZML generation for Cesium time-dynamic animation, and cross-platform build pipeline (GitHub Actions, electron-builder, PackageCompiler.jl)
Lead technical design reviews; review and approve all major pull requests; maintain code quality, test coverage, and documentation standards across the team
Define performance requirements and validate that the computation backend meets them: Monte Carlo throughput, surrogate model inference latency (<1ms), trajectory integration accuracy vs. fidelity trade-offs
Architect the integration layer for all sensor performance models - RF/radar, EO/IR, acoustic, and sensor fusion - ensuring the software framework correctly represents each sensor's measurement model, coordinate frame, and uncertainty characterization
Evaluate and select third-party libraries, frameworks, and AI/ML tooling; maintain the technology roadmap
Mentor and technically direct the Staff Software Engineers; conduct structured code reviews with explicit learning objectives

Program Management

Own program execution: schedule, technical performance, and risk management; present status at monthly program reviews and government milestone events
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for government sponsors, CORs, and prime contractor program offices
Develop and maintain the program's technical roadmap, sprint backlog, and release plan; manage scope changes through a formal change control process
Identify, track, and mitigate technical risks; maintain the risk register and drive mitigation actions to closure
Coordinate with domain engineering leads (RF, EO/IR) on model delivery schedules, interface specifications, and V&V evidence packages
Support proposal development: author technical volumes, basis of estimate (BOE) for software labor, and past performance write-ups for follow-on work
Coordinate with the program security officer on RMF/ATO milestones for NIPR and SIPR deployment

Domain Integration

Maintain working knowledge of RF/radar detection theory sufficient to architect and review the radar sensor model integration layer: range equation parameterization, RCS and clutter model interfaces, Pd/Pfa curve generation, and EW effects inputs
Maintain working knowledge of EO/IR sensor performance modeling sufficient to design the EO/IR model API: NETD/NEFD, DRI range calculation interfaces, IR signature input formats, and probability-of-acquisition output schema
Maintain working knowledge of multi-sensor fusion architecture sufficient to design the track fusion data model: state vector formats, covariance representation, association result schemas, and fused track confidence output
Translate cross-domain analysis results into clear, non-technical language for government program offices and end-user briefings

***Contingent upon contract award***
