Systems Engineer
About The Position
As a Systems Engineer supporting simulation-based training system integration, you will assist in developing and sustaining technical solutions within a government-owned modeling and simulation environment. Working alongside experienced engineers, you will install, configure, and test systems that enable immersive training and mission rehearsal. You will gain hands-on experience supporting prototyping, integration, and troubleshooting across a diverse modeling and simulation ecosystem. Your work may include connecting simulators to distributed simulation environments, supporting technical evaluations, and preparing systems for training events. The role is intended for early-career engineers who want to develop their technical skills, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and work with simulation technologies.
