• Develop mission relevant scenarios; assess operational effectiveness of existing and/or emerging systems and capabilities in representative operational environments.
• Develop new and/or integrate existing system simulation frameworks, weapon systems components to include air vehicle platform, kinematics, sensors, communications, command & control, weapons, and threat performance models and algorithms.
• Analyze and test next generation tactical assets within an advanced threat environment.
• Develop software to simulate real‑time operations and behavior of systems for virtual simulation (man in the loop) testing so that future tactical aircraft can be evaluated in next generation air warfare mission environments.
• Model operational environments and perform trade studies via computer simulation resulting in recommendations for alternative system architectures and configurations.
• Support the design and development of visualization models and databases for integration with a high fidelity simulation environment used for strategic simulation and training.
• Support evaluations to determine the best frameworks, hardware, capabilities, and tools available to create simulations and experiences that enhance the Virtual Simulation product.
• Ensure performance capabilities of new systems and architectures are traded against cost and mission requirements.
• Communicate across the engineering disciplines and technology areas to integrate capabilities.
• Ability to work independently or in team settings, according to project needs.

We offer flexible work arrangements, 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off, phenomenal learning opportunities, exposure to a wide variety of projects and customers, and a very friendly team environment.
