Lead Simulation Engineer - Build Mission-Critical LVC

Booz Allen Hamilton; Honolulu (HI); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Booz Allen Hamilton is seeking a Lead Simulation Engineer to design, integrate, and deliver mission-grade simulation environments using PoR sims (NGST, AFSIM, AFMSTT, SAFESIM) and real-time engines. You’ll drive technical direction, mentor engineers, and partner with operators to turn mission questions into data-driven outcomes.

Work includes integrating DIS/HLA/TENA/USD pipelines, ensuring scale and fidelity, and advancing GPU-accelerated simulations for Indo-Pacific missions.

Qualifications

• Experience with PoR sims such as NGST, AFSIM, AFMSTT, SAFESIM and integrating models
• Experience with Unity and Unreal Engine with C# or C++
• Experience with real-time or near-real-time simulations
• Experience with Git, GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps, CI/CD, test automation, and containerization
• Ability to translate operational concepts into data-driven scenarios and models
• Knowledge of HLA, DIS, and TENA LVC architectures and gateway translation
• Ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor's degree in CS/Engineering and 2+ years of data engineering, or 5+ years of data engineering in lieu of a degree
• Nice if you have YAML/Omniverse USD pipelines and GPU optimization knowledge

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery of mission-grade simulation solutions spanning PoR sims and real-time engines
• Integrate DIS, HLA, TENA, USD, and Omniverse pipelines for LVC exercises and analyses
• Translate operational concepts into scenarios, models, and data flows aligned to Indo-Pacific mission threads
• Own software quality with DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, code reviews, and model validation
• Mentor a high-performing team and drive backlog, estimation, and delivery milestones
• Collaborate with stakeholders across services to capture needs and demonstrate outcomes
• Advance performance with GPU acceleration, multi-node orchestration, and sensor/weapon modeling
• Support capture and proposals with credible technical volumes and demos
