Designing and maintaining system-wide data models and IDL definitions
Supporting software architecture decisions at system and subsystem level
Defining command and control interfaces across complex distributed systems
Creating reusable software component templates and design patterns
Providing technical guidance to software engineering teams
Driving best practice across software design, integration and implementation
Supporting the development of high-integrity, mission-critical software
You'll need experience in most of the following
RTI DDS or Data Distribution Service middleware
Distributed systems design and development
Software architecture within complex engineering environments
IDL design and data modelling
System and subsystem integration
Command and control systems
Technical leadership or senior software engineering responsibilities
Working across the full software development lifecycle
Communicating effectively with software engineers, architects and systems engineers
