Software and Systems Engineering

The software, systems, and testing engineers on SDi’s Software & Systems teams turn vision into reality every day. Drawing on backgrounds in science, engineering, and military operations – combined with modern software tools and best practices – we move ideas from prototype to deployment with agility, transparency, and precision.

At SDi, we know that P-8, MH-60, and MV-22 crews on station need actionable information, not just abundant information. We engineer systems that deliver exactly that – making intelligence intelligible.

Architecture and Design

We translate operational requirements into robust system architectures, designing scalable solutions that balance performance, security, and mission needs from the ground up. We continuously evaluate cross-domain tools and processes to reduce technical debt and maximize efficient code reusability.

Development and Integration

Our engineers build and integrate software components using modern development practices, ensuring seamless interoperability across complex ASW mission systems. We employ Agile and Test-Driven Development software methodology within the Azure DevSecOps ecosystem to deliver value to customers more effectively with iterative, secure, and reliable deployments.

Testing and Validation

Through rigorous testing protocols and validation procedures, we ensure every system meets operational requirements and performs reliably under real-world conditions. From code-level unit test coverage to automated regression testing to human usability metrics, we diligently measure the health of our products and processes.

Maintenance and Optimization

We provide ongoing system support, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement, keeping mission-critical systems running at peak effectiveness throughout their lifecycle. We recognize that user feedback is fundamental to our combined success, so we prioritize around a very simple concept: we listen.

User Training

We ensure operators can fully leverage system capabilities through hands-on training, virtual tutorials, and clear documentation, turning technical complexity into operational confidence. We design learning that is customized to the need and intermixes instruction with anecdotes, practice, and real-world examples.
