Job description

Job Number: R0245326

The Opportunity

You will play a critical role in advancing our Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities by designing, developing, and integrating AIenabled models that support complex wargaming and operational decisionmaking for the DoW. Using core software engineering principles, you'll build scalable simulation components, create realistic behavioral and environmental models, and integrate diverse data sources to drive highfidelity outcomes. You'll collaborate closely with analysts, domain experts, and other engineers to ensure that models accurately represent realworld conditions and evolving mission needs.

As part of this effort, you'll apply fullstack engineering skills to shape the technical vision for nextgeneration M&S systems by evaluating new frameworks, enhancing simulation performance, and implementing architectures that support future extensibility. Your contributions will directly influence how clients explore scenarios, assess alternatives, and derive insights from complex simulation environments.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have

• Experience with developing software in Java, C++, C, and or C#
• Experience with version control, documentation practices, and GitLab workflows
• Experience working in Linux environments
• Knowledge of the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) networking protocol
• Knowledge of COTS and GOTS Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and data tools, such as Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE), Mission Object Configuration Tool (MOCT), Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG), and various Image Generators (IG) for data transformation, configuration, and standardization
• Knowledge of combat weapons systems including aircraft, groundbased radars, and surfacetoair systems
• Ability to write clean, efficient source code for new applications and enhance existing codebases
• Ability to support the evaluation, selection, and integration of M&S tools
• TS/SCI clearance
• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have

• Experience developing AFSIM scripts to tailor model behaviors and scenario configurations
• Experience with TAK products
• Experience working within the SOF communities
• Experience building and managing containers
• Experience building DevSecOps environments or pipelines
• Knowledge of scenario development and analytical assessments of combat weapon systems using Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation tools
• Ability to distill, summarize, and communicate complex technical insights related to model library management and dissemination
