Overview We are seeking a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to embed directly with mission users and own the technical solution from mission need through production deployment. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys solving hard, ambiguous problems—and wants to see the technology they build make a difference in the real world. You will work alongside mission users to understand what is actually happening on the ground, identify opportunities where technology can make a meaningful difference, and turn those insights into working solutions. You’ll integrate advanced technologies—including modern AI/LLM capabilities—into operational workflows, build and deploy new software capabilities, and iterate directly with users until the solution delivers measurable mission impact. This is not a role where you simply receive requirements and hand off code. You will be close to the problem, close to the user, and accountable for the outcome. You’ll have the...

Position Summary Odyssey is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Systems Engineering Directorate in Chantilly, VA. In this role, you will help shape and integrate critical capabilities for an Intelligence Community customer, contributing to mission success across systems engineering, information systems, and signals intelligence. You will develop realistic models, design simulation tools, evaluate multi‑satellite constellation scenarios, and conduct statistical and operational analysis to guide system integration and performance improvements. This position offers the opportunity to work directly with customers to refine requirements, assess emerging technologies, and support end‑to‑end system design in a fast‑paced, mission‑driven environment.       Responsibilities Duties include, but not limited to:  Support the integration of additional capabilities into the operational...

Overview LMI is seeking a Software Developer, Applications/AI Automation Engineer to build automation, AI-enabled applications, prototypes, integrations, APIs, and production-ready software components for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernization initiatives. The role spans no-code, low-code, and full-code delivery and favors approved reusable patterns before custom development.     This position follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of approximately 25% onsite presence at LMI’s Tysons headquarters or Washington, DC.   This is a builder role for an engineer who can move from rough problem statements to working technical increments quickly without sacrificing maintainability. The engineer should be comfortable deciding when configuration or  low-code  is sufficient, when custom code is justified, and how to evolve an early prototype into a supportable enterprise solution.   The successful candidate will bring modern...
