About The Position

Cortina Solutions is seeking a high-impact Lead Modeling and Simulation Engineer to lead the execution of a complex contract supporting the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). You must be ready to own the mission, overseeing complex, multi-domain efforts that shape the future of naval warfare technology. The ideal candidate will be expected to lead with Excellence, serve with Integrity, and approach every problem with a drive to Get Things Done. The Lead Modeling and Simulation Engineer provides advanced simulation and modeling support for complex engineering projects, leveraging virtual environments to evaluate system performance, durability, safety, and functionality. This role applies simulation-based engineering techniques to support design, analysis, and decision-making across a wide range of engineering applications. Responsibilities include developing and executing computer simulations, such as probabilistic models, software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations, to assess engineering solutions under varied operational conditions. The position utilizes contemporary programming languages, including C++ and Fortran, to model dynamic, multi-variable scenarios and simulated environments. The role also develops virtual data visualization products, including virtual and augmented reality applications, to represent real-time simulation results and enhance stakeholder understanding. Support for simulation development using the Unity game engine is a key component of this position.
