About The Position

JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges. JOB SUMMARY - ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS A Computer Scientist III provides software and systems engineering services, generally within a work unit or group. Employee will be responsible for the following functions/duties: Advise team and project managers on technical problems Interact with customers and project managers on a regular basis Work independently of direct supervision on projects of high complexity Use judgment and initiative in developing complex analytical and computational technologies and methodologies for solving problems, which may be technically unique to the industry Interpret customer requirements and develop and analyze the most appropriate approach to solve technical problems Develop design of system/software and associated design documentation Prepare and conduct design reviews Implement design through software coding or hardware and appropriately document the design implementation Plan and execute unit, integration, and system testing Participate in maintenance and sustainment activities of system/software Provide work direction or other guidance to subordinate technical staff Establish and maintain positive customer relations May support pursuit of new business efforts, lead proposal efforts, and act as a technical consultant Perform other job-related duties, as required RANGE POSITION DESCRIPTION The primary purpose is to provide software development related to modeling and simulation systems that support developmental and operational test and evaluation (DT&E and OT&E) test programs. These systems consist of primarily of computer networks, and system integration laboratories (SIL), but could also involve hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) facilities integrating digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, aircraft, weapons, environmental, and threat models, databases, and operational flight program software related to interactive man-in-the-loop battlespace environments. Proficient in C++, Python, Linux or similar programming languages. Knowledge and understanding of Windows, Linux and any related operating systems, SQL databases. Knowledge with software modeling and simulation integrating one or more of the following: sensors, electronic warfare systems, communication links, databases, aircraft, threat models, databases and weapons systems. Knowledge with integrating software and modeling environments consisting of digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, mechanical and electrical interfaces and flight program software. Knowledge with testing, deployment, configuration management and software sustainment. Ability to program (various languages and protocols), integrate/manipulate models and generate computer networks for virtual, live, and constructive simulation of combat aircraft avionics, armament, or electronic warfare systems. (C++, LINUX, WINDOWS, QT SQL, etc) The primary duties required are those necessary to provide technical expertise in the area of software development, integration of models, armament, sensor and electronic warfare systems for a complex integrated battlespace modeling and simulation environments consisting of digital & analog processors, cockpit displays & controls, mechanical & electrical interfaces, and operational flight program software. Integrate with civilian/military professionals engaged in software development, flight simulator development, engineering, operation, and maintenance. The incumbent develops software and will support the verification and validation of software, models and data from avionics, sensor, Electronic Warfare and weapons related test of manned and unmanned modeling and simulated combat aircraft, threat and missile systems. After analysis, results of tests are compared with system performance, mission requirements, and test plan objectives, and the outcome is presented in the form of understandable and accurate plots, tables, and other graphic representations. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES Each employee must read, understand, and implement the general and specific operational, safety, quality, and environmental requirements of all plans, procedures, and policies pertaining to their job.
