We Hire America Jobs

Description: What We're Doing

Become a part of something IMPACT-ful! Ground Missile Defense (GMD) is the heart of the Missile Defense System and a key element of our nation’s defense against ballistic missile attacks. The GMD Weapon System (GWS) processes data from multiple sensors to identify and characterize the inbound ballistic missile threat, plans the best defensive solution, and launches the intercepting missiles to negate the threat.

The Work

This role is for a junior level software engineer to support the GFC product on the GWS program. The primary responsibility will be to support the analysis and development of a containerized solution for the GFC product.

GMD Fire Control (GFC) is considered the “brains” of the GWS system. GFC software is used to receive data from multiple Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) and the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), compile and analyze the data, develop a battle plan, and execute the battle plan. The software is also used to update the warfighter with a user interface in real time.
