Job Description

We are looking for senior technologists with deep expertise in DevSecOps and Cloud-native architecture capable of working across multiple programs and pursuits. Technical Fellows provide technical leadership and guidance, and this individual will specifically help drive improvements and the maturity of our DevSecOps processes and use of cloud-native architecture in real-time embedded systems. This person is responsible for assessing, designing, securing, and optimizing DevSecOps solutions and the deployment of lean principles, practices, tools, and technologies (including platforms, frameworks, and services) that enable consistent, verifiable, and automated management of software and firmware applications, executable simulations, and infrastructure resources between production and non-production environments. 

This position is an onsite role and can be located in Tewksbury MA, Tucson AZ, El Segundo CA, or Richardson TX.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Provide technical leadership in support of the successful application of lean thinking, DevSecOps practices and pipelines, and cloud-native architecture across pursuits and programs, contributing to proposal development and execution.
• Collaborate with other technical and business leaders to formulate and develop technical strategies and roadmaps related to DevSecOps and Cloud-native architectures.
• Conduct innovative research and development (IRAD and CRAD) related to new DevSecOps and cloud-native technologies.
• Support training and mentoring to help grow and strengthen our organizational capabilities.
• Serve as a DevSecOps and cloud-native subject matter expert (SME) in internal and external discussions and reviews.

The ideal candidate is knowledgeable of Lean principles and will be comfortable working in multidisciplinary agile groups of engineers and business leaders focused on applying state of the art software development approaches and architectures. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated the interdisciplinary breadth needed to integrate concepts from other fields to improve mission performance in areas such as radar, command and control, undersea sensing, autonomous vehicles, effectors, logistics and sustainment, and Cyber.
