- Contribute to dev ops infrastructure and scripting to support software test, integration, and validation workflows.
- Follow and help enforce coding standards and software best practices across simulation activities.
- Support software unit-level verification efforts for simulation, performance, and test software products.
- Participate in configuration management, documentation, and deployment of simulation and test tools.
- Create basic data processing, visualization, and reporting scripts to support software analysis and test campaigns.
- Assist in the deployment and configuration of small computing clusters or simulation servers under supervision.
- Contribute to studies and prototyping of alternate computing architectures (e.g., real-time simulators).
- Implement test cases and support automated testing based on program objectives and engineering needs.
- Assist in packaging and delivering simulation tools and components to internal and external stakeholders.
- Support alignment of simulation components with MBSE models and SysML/Cameo artifacts.
- Implement and test numerical methods and algorithms, including filtering, data fitting, and basic optimization routines, under guidance.
Requirements:
- U.S. Citizenship required due to security and program access requirements.
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
- Demonstrated ability to contribute to technical development within a team environment.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
Experience:
- 4 to 7 years of professional experience in software development, modeling, or simulation within aerospace, defense, or related engineering domains.
- Familiarity with software development processes, integration workflows, and test automation.
- Experience contributing to multi-disciplinary engineering projects involving simulation or test tools.
- Exposure to real-time or hardware-in-the-loop simulation environments is a plus.
Education:
Required:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related STEM field from an accredited college/university
Preferred:
Master’s degree preferred, particularly with emphasis in control systems, applied mathematics, or software engineering or a related discipline from an accredited college/university is desirable and may substitute for 1 year of experience
Skills:
- Proficient in C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, and scripting languages.
- Familiar with dev ops practices including scripting, test automation, and version control (e.g., Git).
- Understanding of simulation frameworks, modeling principles, and numerical analysis.
- Experience with software debugging, system integration, and basic performance testing.
- Familiar with SysML and MBSE workflows (e.g., Cameo) or willing to learn.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently on well-defined tasks and collaborate effectively in a team setting
Others:
- Familiarity with developing or integrating communication protocols for test equipment is a plus.
- Exposure to embedded systems or FPGA-based platforms is beneficial.
- Able to support work across both classified and unclassified environments.
- Interest in improving software development workflows, tool automation, and code quality.
