Modeling & Simulation Engineer (R4869)

What you'll do

• Build C++ simulation infrastructure and aircraft models, including deterministic, high-performance simulation software.
• Lead model verification and validation and analyze system performance against test and vendor data.
• Collaborate across engineering teams to make simulations reflect aircraft behavior and mission scenarios; guide junior engineers.

What they ask for

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Robotics, or a related field.
• 7+ years of simulation software development experience with C++ competency; exceptional candidates with less experience and demonstrated depth will be considered.
• Understanding of rigid-body dynamics, kinematics, and dynamic-system physics; experience developing or integrating simulation systems for complex dynamic systems.
• Experience with simulation verification and validation; ability to debug complex build and runtime environments; must be eligible to obtain a Secret Clearance, which requires US Citizenship.

Nice to have

• MS or PhD in a related field; active Secret or Top Secret Clearance desired.
• Experience with C++20 or later, real-time and deterministic software design, DevOps-integrated simulation, Hardware- or Software-in-the-Loop, or autonomous aircraft systems.
