Senior Software Engineer

ASRC Federal is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, develop, and evolve advanced core software applications supporting NOAA's Space Weather Observations Mission Operations Services (SWO-MOS) program. The ideal engineer brings substantial experience developing and deploying mission-critical applications within real-time satellite management loops. This role is permanently based out of our engineering facility in Aurora, CO, with an expected travel requirement of up to 15% to support integration and deployment milestones at the Annapolis, MD operations center.

What You Will Do

Architect, code, and maintain robust backend and real-time computing software modules written in Java and C++ to interact directly with the program's OS/COMET telemetry and command baseline. Develop software interface bridges and telemetry decommutation layers that feed directly into or extract parameters from NASA's General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) for real-time orbit metrics handling.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of professional software engineering experience centered on mission-critical applications or satellite ground operations software systems. Expert-level software development capability writing production-ready, highly optimized code blocks utilizing Java and C++ is required.
