This role will ensure the integrity, traceability, and repeatability of software builds, baselines, and releases that support mission-critical shipboard machinery control systems. The role directly supports DevSecOps software delivery pipelines and fleet modernization efforts, ensuring that software updates can be delivered securely, reliably, and with full lifecycle traceability to support operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface combatants. This is an onsite position based out of Philadelphia, PA. This position integrates responsibilities across software build engineering, configuration management, and release engineering to enable reliable software delivery to laboratory, integration, and fleet environments. The successful candidate will implement and maintain automated build pipelines, enforce configuration control of software baselines, and coordinate controlled releases that meet NAVSEA software quality, cybersecurity, and configuration standards. Responsibilities include: Software Build Engineering Design, develop, and maintain automated software build systems supporting PIMCS development and integration environments. Develop and maintain build scripts and dependency management using tools such as Gradle, Maven, or similar frameworks. Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting automated builds, testing, and software quality verification. Integrate automated unit testing, integration testing, and static code analysis into the build process. Ensure builds are repeatable, deterministic, and environment-independent, supporting delivery to laboratory, integration, and shipboard systems.
