The Opportunity:

CACI is seeking a Software Engineer to support our customer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division. You will be responsible for developing, reviewing, and maintaining software solutions and related technical documentation to ensure they meet mission and life-cycle requirements. You will assist the Program Manager and Senior Engineers with the coordination, planning, and execution of software development, cybersecurity, and system integration efforts associated with assigned delivery order projects. You’ll demonstrate strong technical acumen, communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent software tasks while delivering quality products to the customer on time.

Perform software development, integration, and testing activities to support information systems, cybersecurity, and software assurance objectives. Participate in code reviews, design evaluations, and documentation development to ensure compliance with NAVSEA, DoD, and ISO software engineering standards. Apply knowledge of DevSecOps pipelines and cybersecurity engineering practices to develop resilient and maintainable systems.

You will work closely with CACI Program Managers, software engineers, and DoD customers to define requirements, develop design approaches, and implement secure and efficient software solutions for real-world mission applications.

Responsibilities:

You will be part of a dynamic team providing software engineering, cybersecurity, and system integration support for NSWC Crane’s technical mission areas. Your work will involve evaluating software architectures, analyzing vulnerabilities, developing secure code, and contributing to modernization initiatives that improve system performance and resilience. You will assist with the review and refinement of software products, documentation, and test results, ensuring compliance with established cybersecurity frameworks and DevSecOps practices. You will contribute to cyber readiness assessments, risk analyses, and secure design implementations while maintaining alignment with SECNAV M-5239 cybersecurity workforce standards.

This role will also require supporting continuous improvement of software processes and participating in technical interchange meetings, readiness reviews, and progress briefings. You will collaborate across disciplines—software, systems, and cybersecurity—to ensure software products are secure, maintainable, and mission-ready.

Your day-to-day work will combine hands-on technical development with analytical and documentation support, requiring the ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and communicate clearly across both technical and program management levels.
