Maritime Software Integration and DevOps Engineer

Location: Oxnard, CA

The Opportunity

As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don’t. You understand the nuances of complex situations. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems. We’re looking for an expert like you to create solutions for missions that keep our nation safe.

As a Maritime Software Integration and DevOps Engineer, you’ll bring your object oriented software solutioning and DevOps expertise to work on projects for the U.S. Navy. You’ll support innovative solutions to unique maritime domain challenges to grow the country's unmanned system capabilities. You’ll be a trusted advisor to our mission partners, and we’ll look to you to identify, analyze, and evaluate complex systems, policies, and processes.

Support automated build pipelines, CI/CD workflows, static code analysis, software packaging, integration testing in lab environments, including hardware‑in‑the‑loop and simulation‑based evaluations. Diagnose, reproduce, and resolve complex software defects; support root‑cause analysis and corrective‑action development, analyze, review, and update software documentation, integration notes, and sustainment artifacts. Collaborate with systems, cyber, and operations personnel to synchronize software loads across fielded and lab systems.

Participate in cross‑functional problem solving and readiness activities

You’ll guide the work we do for the maritime domain and the solutions we deliver for unmanned systems missions, defense mission planning, and national defense strategy. You will support Navy autonomous undersea system software by developing, integrating, testing, and sustaining mission‑critical software baselines. You will work with autonomy code, build and integration pipelines, hardware‑in‑the‑loop test environments, and troubleshooting workflows to ensure reliable, validated software releases for operational use. This role requires hands‑on technical engagement in a lab‑based integration environment and close coordination with multi‑disciplinary engineering teams.

Further your career with us as you help solve complex design, integration, and analytical problems for the maritime domain.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
