SAIC is seeking a highly qualified Software Engineer to join the Aviation Systems Integration Lab (AVNSIL), located within the Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration Directorate (S3I) at Redstone Arsenal, in Huntsville, AL.
The selected candidate will play a key role in the development and integration of aircraft simulation and stimulation (sim/stim) solutions supporting a variety of aviation platforms and mission systems. This role operates within a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) environment and directly contributes to system integration, testing, and validation efforts.
This position requires a self-starter with a strong technical foundation, a willingness to learn, and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced lab environment.
The Software Engineer will be responsible for but not limited to the following:
- Develop, integrate, and maintain software supporting aviation simulation and stimulation environments
- Design and implement sim/stim models representing aircraft subsystems, avionics, and data interfaces
- Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers to support full system integration within HWIL environments
- Participate in agile development activities including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
- Perform software testing, debugging, and validation to ensure stable and reliable system performance
- Troubleshoot software and integration issues across lab systems, including hardware interfaces and communication protocols
- Contribute to system and software design efforts, including architecture, interface definitions, and data flow
- Conduct peer code reviews and maintain code quality using established best practices
- Support integration of avionics communication protocols such as MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429
- Document software design, functionality, and test results to support maintainability and accreditation efforts
- Provide technical support to users and assist with lab integration events, testing activities, and customer demonstrations
