See SEI Job OpeningsInnovation that supports our warfighters with research that advances software as a strategic advantage for national security since 1984
Software is a force multiplier for our warfighters, and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) delivers cutting-edge, rigorously tested, and difference-making software research, development and technology transition for rapid response needs and long-term support. Established in 1984, the SEI at Carnegie Mellon University is sponsored by the U.S. Department of War (DoW) as a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). The SEI is the only DoW-sponsored FFRDC chartered to improve both software’s state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice. The SEI advances software for the warfighter by integrating artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software engineering, and software acquisition strategies for maximum impact.
