Description:
C Developer (mid and senior)
Secret Clearance required
Hybrid - will work 1 day at the office (53560 Hull Street, San Diego, CA)
Temp to hire (after 6 months)
Sr. position
Mid position
30 min technical phone interview, then 1 hour in-person interview at the job site
OVERVIEW
NGLD is a system being developed that will replace an existing system called Secure Key Loader (SKL). This is the software that runs on the encryption device and loads the encryption keys onto the communication systems in the field (think of a hard end laptop or mobile type device with client server software running on the hardware).
The government client is already two years into development. They will finish development over next 6 months and then move into testing, and then production / maintenance.
The funding for this position is good through 9/30/24, but this work will continue for years to come and highly likely to be extended. Navy/NIWC has had this important work for 35 years (and their primary partner for 10 years). This is a critical system for the DoD and this work will be on-going.
The team is developing the software that will go on that hardware and building the UI software for those devices.
The ideal candidate would have C , Qt, Python, as well as demand experience with DoD communications systems or Signals Intell (or even better would be EKMS type work)
This is not web software, therefore a person to ramp up quickly would need to come from a client-server or embedded / hardware type environment
JOB DUTIES
Cryptographic and Space-Based development initiatives performing programming in C
Contributions include researching, designing, prototyping and developing solutions for cryptographic devices.
These security-focused solutions enable the warfighters mission and safety.
Activities include:
o Develop performant software in resource-constrained environments
o Perform full software development lifecycle, including design, development, testing / automation, and integration
o Develop interfaces to high assurance crypto modules

Software engineering, object oriented, and functional programming principles to ensure that developed code has high quality, is maintainable, efficient, reliable, understandable, secure and fault tolerant.
As a C Developer you will support the software configuration management process and understand software components and their interface requirements with other APIs and host systems (i.e., virtualized, containerized, or hardware).
This position requires someone who is proactive and passionate about ensuring the quality of software deliverables and can communicate with the development teams (including the government client, subcontractors, and customer representatives) what is required to achieve this effectively on diverse tasks.
