Software Developer – Simulation Environment Plugins
About The Position
We are seeking a highly skilled and driven Software Developer to join our team in developing robust simulation environment plugins for Advanced Framework for Simulation and Modeling (AFSIM), Next Generation Threat System (NGTS), and potentially Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) and Extensible Architecture for the Analysis and Generation of Linked Simulations (EAAGLES). This role will involve close collaboration with our Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineers to integrate MATLAB/Simulink models into simulation architectures. As part of a dynamic development effort, you will contribute to cutting-edge solutions for aerospace and defense applications.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a closely related field.
- Proficiency in C++ programming with a minimum of 2 years of professional experience.
- Experience in developing plugins and applications for simulation frameworks such as AFSIM, NGTS, JSE, or EAAGLES.
- Familiarity with integrating MATLAB/Simulink models into simulation software.
- Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming principles and design patterns.
- Experience with Linux and Windows development environments.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an agile team setting.
- Required: Secret Security Clearance
Nice To Haves
- Experience with testing frameworks like Google Test
- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies, Kanban, or common DevOps tools (e.g., SVN, Git, Atlassian, Jenkins).
- Experience with multiple software languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
- Familiarity with Joint Simulation Environment Software Services development (e.g., GRID, DIADS).
- Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools such as Cameo.
- Desired: Top Secret Security Clearance with SCI eligibility.
Responsibilities
- Simulation Plugin Development:
- Design, build, and maintain simulation plugins in C++ for frameworks including AFSIM, NGTS, JSE, and EAAGLES.
- Use MATLAB/Simulink models provided by M&S Engineers to implement subsystem and component models for aerospace applications.
- Ensure seamless integration of models into larger simulation environments, such as engagement-level simulations.
- Software Development and Integration:
- Collaborate with M&S Engineers and developers to establish compatibility requirements between plugins and simulation frameworks.
- Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues related to software, hardware, and simulation interdependencies.
- Follow industry best practices to develop modular, scalable, and maintainable code.
- Technical Documentation and Testing:
- Document software functionality, integration processes, and changes to simulation environments.
- Contribute to test planning, experimental design, and validation efforts.
- Review and execute test cases to verify plugin functionality against system and software requirements.
- Stakeholder Collaboration:
- Work with program office representatives, contractors, and engineers to ensure simulation environments meet stakeholder requirements.
- Present technical findings and updates to leadership and stakeholders.
- Continuous Improvement:
- Stay informed on emerging trends and tools in software and simulation development.
- Participate in peer code reviews and knowledge-sharing activities to enhance team capabilities.
