What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineering Manager position at OASYS, INC.?
Software Engineering Manager – Aircraft Products
OASYS, INC., a Leading-Edge Government contractor, is seeking applicants for a Software Engineering Manager position to support our customer in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a decisive, high-integrity leader to head our Aircraft Products Software Engineering team. This isn't just a role managing code; it is an opportunity to build a legacy by transforming a group of individual experts into a unified, high-energy force.
The ideal candidate acts as the bridge between hardware and software, serving as an arbiter of technical disputes and the architect of a culture where every engineer-from junior developers to 30-year veterans-feels challenged, valued, and focused. If you thrive on turning "chaos into clarity," we want to talk to you.
Note: Due to Department of Defense contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
Key Responsibilities
- Team Leadership: Lead the Aircraft Products Software team in the design of firmware and application software for product integration.
- Operational Excellence: Modernize software Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by introducing industry best practices.
- Project Oversight: Hire and supervise Software Project Leads to interface between corporate customers and international development teams.
- Technical Participation: Participate in the full product lifecycle, including quoting, architecture, debugging, and testing.
- Quality Assurance: Review the design and development of functional tests, from Unit Testing through full Software Verification.
- Strategic Communication: Effectively communicate software capabilities and resources to potential customers.
- Mentorship: Train team members in required design processes and software systems documentation.

What Will Make You Stand Out
- Cultural Transformation: Demonstrated ability to eliminate internal friction (silos/pettiness) and refocus a diverse team of "old guard" and junior engineers on collective wins.
- Strategic Execution: A proven track record of identifying project scope, developing realistic schedules, and allocating resources to "move the needle" without causing burnout.
- Cross-Functional Synergy: Experience bridging the gap between software and hardware divisions to ensure cohesive product development.
- High-Stakes Leadership: The "backbone" to manage difficult dynamics when necessary, balanced with the emotional intelligence to make every member feel vital to the mission.
- Technical Credibility: The ability to debate complex architectures with veteran engineers and earn their respect through sound judgment and technical insight.
- Motivational Impact: A history of increasing team energy levels by removing administrative "noise" and providing clear, actionable goals.
Qualifications & Experience
Minimum Requirements:
- Education: BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering or BSEE (with applicable software development experience).
- Experience: 8 years of coding experience and 6 years of software management experience.
