IERUS develops value for our defense and commercial customers through accelerations of the technology life cycle: identifying, creating, transitioning, and producing technologies with integrity of purpose and product. IERUS offers competitive compensation packages, retirement options, and benefits packages. To learn more, please visit www.ierustech.com . IERUS participates in projects that address weapon systems engineering and the application of advanced machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques as well as RF/Optical hardware prototyping and low rate production. We generally seek to apply agile development fundamentals across our corporate portfolio to accelerate technology development timelines. The end goal being early discovery, accelerated development, and high customer engagement. Description: This is an opportunity to join the IERUS team as a Sr. Software Developer supporting a large Missile Defense Agency program. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years’ experience and be responsible for, but not limited to; Develop simulation infrastructure necessary to perform end-to-end functional and performance analysis of the Missile Defense System (MDS) supporting the systems engineering development process for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Develop capabilities needed to integrate large-scale complex MDS Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tools that generate results supporting system engineering discrimination products. Coordinate development with functional group leads and will interface with senior management. Document simulation framework roadmap and development results in reports and briefings to be presented to the team and MDA representatives. Perform as a team member on an agile software development team and may additionally be assigned leadership (i.e., Scrum Master) responsibilities within the team. Represent the discrimination group as an active member of the Modeling & Simulation Working Group. Set DevOps Engineering priorities with regard to increasing computing capacity and improving the simulation development environment.
