    Overview:

    We are looking for a Chief Engineer to lead and manage all aspects of requirement elicitation, design, implementation, integration, and test of software solutions delivered by multi-disciplinary teams to support DoD customers. The main role of the Chief Engineer is to define, manage, and audit the software engineering process from requirement elicitation through product delivery. Throughout the entire process, the Chief Engineer leads Project Engineering Leads and System Architects to ensure the delivery is executing according to plan and meeting project and product goals, adjusting, and acquiring resources as needed to maintain the balance between project and product requirements.

    Chief Engineer responsibilities include creating processes for eliciting and documenting user requirements and defining system functionality. The Chief Engineer is also responsible for reviewing project schedules created by Deputy Chief Engineers and cost baselines and verifying project teams meet required deliverables within cost and schedule baselines. This role requires familiarity with writing software in various languages, like Java, JavaScript, and Python and deploying that code to a Kubernetes framework. The ideal candidate is experienced with all elements of the software development life cycle (SDLC) from preliminary system analysis to tests and deployment. The ideal candidate also has strong experience in Department of Defense (DoD) contracting and project leadership.

    • Experience designing software with UML primitives: sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and activity diagrams
    • Software architecture and design including common software design patterns
    • Requirements elicitation, management, tracking, and auditing
    • Ability to work on-site in San Diego, CA facility and travel to customer sites 25% of the time
    • Familiarity deploying containers to docker utilizing Kubernetes based orchestration software (e.g. OpenShift and Rancher)
    • Familiarity with web application development with Javascript and UI frameworks like React or Angular.

    • Interdisciplinary leadership experience. The successful candidate will interact with product management, project management, engineering, finance, and contracts organizations to execute projects and will need a detailed understanding of each of these areas
    • Strong organization, planning, and communication skills. The successful candidate will need to develop a plan of action, a team to complete the plan, and communicate the plan up and down the organization
    • Ability to work closely with Program Managers and Business area leadership to document, manage and communicate systems and software requirements
    • Problem-solving skills with the ability to help others navigate ambiguous situations
    • Excellence in technical communication with peers and non-technical cohorts
    • Initiative, creativity, reliability, teamwork
