We are looking for individuals who possess a strong foundation in software engineering, a passion for simulation, and a desire to contribute to challenging projects. You will work within a collaborative environment, utilizing agile methodologies and modern software development practices to deliver innovative solutions.
Position Responsibilities:
- Develop, design, implement, test, and maintain high-fidelity simulation software for various aerospace platforms and systems.
- Collaborate with systems engineers, subject matter experts, and other software engineers to understand requirements and translate them into robust and scalable simulation solutions.
- Apply software engineering principles and best practices throughout the development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation.
- Design and implement real-time and non-real-time simulation models, algorithms, and interfaces.
- Integrate simulation software with hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) systems, external tools, and other simulation environments.
- Conduct simulation verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) activities to ensure accuracy and fidelity.
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and other team collaboration activities.
- Troubleshoot and debug complex simulation issues, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.
- Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends in simulation, software development, and aerospace.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of software development processes, tools, and methodologies.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
- 3+ years of experience with software development in C++, C#, Java, Python, FORTRAN or MATLAB.
- 3+ years of experience with software life cycle processes.
- 3+ years of experience with software requirements, design, development, and test.
- Ability to obtain U.S. Security Clearance (Post Start).
- This position allows telecommuting. The selected candidate will be required to perform some work onsite at one of the listed location options.
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Experience with real-time operating systems or real-time simulation development.
