Description: Job Title : Software Simulation Engineer

Job Code : AS20200203-42305

Job Location : Arlington, Texas

Job Description:

The principal activities include extending the capabilities of our Modeling & Simulation system, utilizing high-performance computing environments that include Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), massive memory and visualization capabilities, high-speed internal networks and interoperability with external virtual and live systems. Other activities include all-spectrum geospatial and dynamical entity constructive modeling in all domains (undersea to space, cyber, and EM), analysis of systems and sub systems for current and next generation real-world systems, scenario definition, simulation setup and conduct, results analysis, and adjustment and validation of the models until required results are obtained. These simulations will support military system design/trade studies, performance assessment, and system test.

Qualifications:

Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study in computer science, software engineering, aerospace engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, or other quantitative discipline with demonstrated technical experience (e.g. Applied Mathematics)

Minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience or 2 years post-Secondary/ Associates Degree and a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.

Must have the ability to:

obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance

Develop and maintain Software requirements, as well as unit test code for real-time computer Software Units

Integrate and compile software components into builds and test in target environment

Perform limited troubleshooting of defects and proposes solutions to problems

Execute test procedures and documenting test results are desirable

Learn via On-the-job training across multiple Lab Test Engineering roles and functions

Develop mathematical models

Design and analyze experiments to validate models

Implement new features targeting dynamic simulation

Develop vehicle/sensor/environment simulation using constructive and virtual simulation tools

Work with the customer to define and create relevant simulation scenarios within Constructive and Virtual environments and toolchains to support M&S of next-generation platforms, avionics, sensors, etc.

Produce analytic briefings using Microsoft Office products (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) and present to fellow engineers, program managers and leadership, and L3Harris customers

Must have experience:

Working with AFSIM and/or other military and COTS model, simulation, decision support tools to support operations assessment; as well as lessons learned development/refinement experience
