As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the STARS Database Management System (DMS) and related tools. The role requires expertise in C programming, Unix/Linux environments, and database systems, particularly Oracle SQL.

The role is hybrid-based in Mt. Laurel, NJ, and requires U.S. citizenship due to program requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced software engineers who want to make a direct impact on national airspace safety while working with cutting-edge air traffic control systems. You'll be part of a team modernizing critical infrastructure used by the FAA, contributing to systems that affect millions of air travelers daily. The role offers both technical challenges and the satisfaction of working on safety-of-life systems that make a real difference in aviation safety.
