SOFTWARE ENGINEER

As a test engineer, Rachael Garrett validates software that operates military satellites in space. She first got interested in software engineering through a basic programming class at Tuskegee University. Rachael was so inspired by the ability to use software to be a true creator, she changed her major.

Today, Rachael is most inspired by hearing about how her work is helping keep people safe. "We get to hear what's called mission relevance. And it gives us an opportunity to hear the testimonials of the people who are being saved by our [work]. It gives us a chance to hear how our product is being used out in the field. And gives us a sense of pride to know that we are making a difference."

You will also design, develop, document, test, and debug software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment.
