About The Position

PE is seeking a highly skilled Software Programmer (Algorithm Developer) with experience in Python, C++, and Visual Basic to serve as the primary CWMD modeler-and Nuclear Effects modeler when required-for advanced modeling and simulation efforts. The selected candidate will design, develop, and refine computational models that characterize chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agent behaviors, their operational impacts, and their integration into complex air operations environments.

Requirements

Programming in Python, C++, and/or Visual Basic
Developing algorithms, simulations, or analytical tools
Debugging, testing, and optimizing code for performance and accuracy
Foundational understanding of network development and operations
Foundational understanding of communications and control systems
Foundational understanding of systems engineering principles
Knowledge of aircraft and satellite communications systems, including system architecture and integration
Knowledge of cybersecurity considerations for mission systems

Responsibilities

Serve as the lead modeler for CWMD and nuclear effects, developing and maintaining models that simulate chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agent effects, attributes, and behaviors across diverse operational scenarios.
Build and refine models that incorporate environmental variables (e.g., weather patterns, temperature, humidity, terrain, atmospheric stability) and assess their influence on agent dispersion, persistence, degradation, and operational risk.
Incorporate scientific datasets, test results, intelligence inputs, and operational parameters into modeling frameworks to ensure accuracy, realism, and defensibility.
Translate complex scientific and operational data into computational logic, algorithms, and simulation modules.
Develop, test, and optimize software tools, scripts, and modeling applications using Python, C++, and Visual Basic.
Implement modular, scalable code that supports iterative model refinement and integration with existing DoD modeling and simulation environments.
Collaborate with system engineers, analysts, and operators to ensure models interface correctly with broader mission planning, decision support, and operational assessment tools.
Work directly with government customers to refine modeling requirements, interpret results, and support briefings or technical discussions.
Produce clear, defensible documentation including model descriptions, assumptions, limitations, validation summaries, and user guides.
Support rapid-turn modeling requests and emerging operational needs.
