About The Position

KODA Technologies is seeking a HWIL Simulation Software Engineer to join its Flight Software / GNC / Modeling and Simulation Integration team, which develops simulation software. The engineer will support integration and testing of flight software, GNC, and simulation products in a Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) testbed. The work is performed onsite in Huntsville, Alabama, in a classified area or lab environment. The role supports advanced technology demonstrations and involves maintaining and developing simulation software, integrating subsystem truth simulation models into vehicle-level simulations, and developing end-to-end test scripts for HWIL requirements verification and validation. The engineer will work closely with Navigation, Guidance & Control, Flight Software, and HWIL teams, operate and understand the testbed, collaborate to resolve technical issues, and maintain documentation and integration standards. An active DoW Secret clearance and U.S. citizenship are required.

Requirements

Post-secondary STEM degree and 5–10+ years of relevant experience.
Willingness to work onsite in a classified area or lab environment.
Experience developing and maintaining simulation software.
Experience with Linux, C++, MATLAB, and/or Python.
Experience integrating and testing hardware/software products or equivalent technical experience.
Ability to diagnose and resolve software configuration or baseline issues during integration and installation.
Ability to review problem reports and enhancement requests and assess impacts on testing and regression plans.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Good verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
Active DoW Secret clearance.
U.S. citizenship.
