Responsibilities

• Participating in the design, development, test, and maintenance of software models simulating and/or emulating real-world, adversarial (threat) Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) Systems within the TMAP STIMS 2.0 NOVA, STIMS 3.0 and/or LIVE modeling frameworks.
• Engineering analysis of real-life threat weapon systems supplementing all available all-source intelligence assessments informing software model lifecycle including development, maintenance, and study support.
• Understanding and tracking software model requirements.
• Understanding of real-world threat weapon system characteristics, capabilities, and limitations and the digital twin that represents that system.
• Developing software using MATLAB/SIMULINK, C/C++, and/or Python.
• Participating in technical discussions to assist in near- and long-term planning.
• Understanding engineering designs supplied by the customer and working with a team to develop software models that represent the weapon system at the fidelity necessary to meet customer goals.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision insurance.
• Paid time off.
