Job description

Modeling & Simulation Software Developer

Capstone Research Corporation is seeking to expand our team. We provide high level engineering to the Department of War with Integrated Air and Missile Defense Systems Engineering expertise to solve the tough interoperability problems facing Warfighters today. We pride ourselves on providing high level engineering in a customer-oriented, ethical approach.

Benefits

• Capstone offers 100% Company Provided Medical and Dental Insurance as part of our top-notch benefits package.

Compensation for this position will be determined, but not limited to, factors such as responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, alignment with market data, and internal equity.

We are seeking Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Software Developers in our Huntsville, AL. office, with a background in developing, integrating and testing weapon system simulations to join our rapidly growing Army Group. We have vacancies for mid-and senior-level developers ready to make an impact. In this role you will develop, integrate, and execute complex simulations of Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) components to evaluate end-to-end mission effectiveness under varied conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, code, and test high-fidelity mathematical models and simulations of IAMD components (e.g., sensors, interceptors, and threat kinematics).
• Integrate disparate system models into both real-time (e.g., Hardware-in-the-Loop/Software-in-the-Loop) and non-real-time (constructive) simulation frameworks.
• Develop automated analysis tools and scripts to parse large simulation datasets, enabling sensitivity analysis, trade-space exploration, and the quantification of mission effectiveness.
• Evaluate threat kinematics, sensor-shooter assignments, weapon flyouts, and overall lethality to quantify end-to-end performance across complex IAMD architectures.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering or related STEM field.
• 5 to 10+ years of applied engineering experience, with a heavy focus on modeling, simulation, and analytical tool development.
• Strong programming skills are required to build and integrate engineering simulations (e.g., C, C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar languages).
• Integration Expertise: Proven ability to integrate models into larger simulation architectures, managing data exchange, simulation timing, and data collection pipelines for post-run analysis.
• Engagement Chains: Experience analyzing architectures for "sensor-to-shooter" loops and fire control closures
• Active Secret Clearance or eligibility to obtain Secret Clearance

Additional Desired Skills

• Experience with Docker, Podman, or similar for containerizing M&S applications
• Experience with Army IAMD systems or Missile Defense Agency (MDA) architectures and platforms. Familiarity with the Joint Track Management Capability Bridge
• Experience with common DoD simulation frameworks such as AFSIM, FSI, DIS, or other environments.
• Familiarity with translating operational scenarios or "kill webs" into quantitative simulation environments.
• Experience in Python, Java, Matlab, Gitlab, and/or Linux.
