Software Engineer II

Code and test software-based upon software specifications and designs, analyze and study complex system requirements, design software tools and subsystems to support software reuse and domain software development, support using formal specifications, data flow diagrams, other accepted design techniques and use Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools. Use sound software engineering principles to ensure that developed code is modifiable, efficient, reliable, understandable, and fault tolerant. Provide software process management and control throughout the coding portion of the software development process. Mentor and coach fellow Software Engineers. Interface with the following groups: software development, testing, integration, deployment, and sustainment.
