About The Position

Maximum Technology Corporation (MTC) is seeking an experienced Modeling and Simulation Software Integration Engineer to support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Engineering Directorate Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Office. This role involves testing the Missile Defense System (MDS) in a distributed Hardware-In-the-Loop (HWIL) simulation environment. Support will extend to MDS Ground Test (GT) events, MDS Flight Test support (including pre-mission risk reduction, mission execution team training, and post-flight reconstruction), and M&S development and test support for other Department of Defense (DoD) Partners. The engineer will be responsible for integrating, testing, and operating HWIL simulation environments, conducting installation and configuration of simulation systems, analyzing architecture performance, troubleshooting integration issues, and evaluating network traffic. The position requires adherence to program instructions, documentation of configurations and results, execution of test scenarios including threat modeling, and collaboration with team members for mission planning and analysis.
