o Ability to obtain security clearance is required for this position. o 10+ years of experience in software engineering. o 5 years of experience in C++, C#, C, Rust or other programming languages. o 5 years of experience in Window and/or Linux distributions. o 5 years of experience in Gitlab or IDE tools. o 5 years of experience in software development/ agile environment.POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:
Client is seeking an Experienced Software Engineer to support the Training Systems - Battlespace Simulation Management Visual Systems Software Team in Hazelwood, MO. This position contributes to the development and sustainment of next-generation training technologies for military pilot training, including advanced visualization systems like Align and Cal (AnC) and Frame Sync Controller (FSC) applications used by high fidelity training systems. The engineer will participate in full-lifecycle software development including requirements analysis, system and software design, implementation, testing, and integration. The position emphasizes real-time 3D rendering, graphics system integration, and software optimization for pilot training environments.
This role is hands-on and collaborative, operating within a dynamic Agile team to deliver high-quality software products aligned with customer needs and Client standards.
Client is responsible for the design, development, manufacture, and maintenance of training devices for a wide variety of commercial and military aircraft - everything from F-15 fighter jets to Apache attack helicopters, and even NASA's Starliner spacecraft. Software engineers on our team are responsible for all phases of the software lifecycle, including architecture, design, implementation and test. They are also directly involved in planning their own work, as part of the agile methodology, with a focus on technical excellence.
The Client team is a large software development team comprised of several smaller agile teams, some with specialized skills. Our backlog includes everything from new feature development using cutting-edge technology to maintenance of legacy software baselines. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working in an often fast-paced environment within a two-week "sprint" schedule.
o Designs, architects, and develops simulation models, simulation visualizations, virtual environments/platforms, and frameworks to enhance test performance, safety, and durability of software and hardware systems throughout the entire product lifecycle. o Partners with stakeholders to review and identify simulation requirements and dynamics of the systems being simulated. o Performs design, modeling, simulation, testing, and analysis to assess and optimize overall system performance and capabilities. o Performs data collection and processing for use in simulations. o Validates, verifies, and refines simulation software code, models, simulations, test procedures and test environments, executing test procedures and documenting test results and models against real-world data, test data, benchmarks, or other similar models. o Documents and maintains technical code, algorithms, specifications and descriptions of simulation models. o Partners with cross functional engineering teams to enable integration of simulation software with hardware devices and systems. o Implements current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks, and methods in the software engineering simulation environment. o Modernizes, migrates, sustains, and updates simulation software to adapt legacy systems to new operating systems. o Performs simulation software project management functions.PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE:
o Knowledge of aircraft systems, including weapons, night vision system, mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, flight controls, etc. o Knowledge of cloud architecture, including the different types of clouds (public, private, and hybrid), the different cloud platforms and the various components involved (computing, storing and networking). Ability to automate and script skills. Knowledge of containerization technologies which includes understanding how to manage containers, deploy applications in a containerized environment, and troubleshoot issues. Knowledge of understanding of networking concepts, including IP addressing, subnetting, routing, and security (focus on security best practices and technologies). o Knowledge of specification format requirements, guidelines, and change control processes. Understanding of relationship between specifications/standards and aircraft/product certification systems. o Knowledge of various engineering disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, and systems. The ability to communicate with technical personnel from multiple skill areas and functions to evaluate technical information and issues impacting design, production, and support of products, services, or other deliverables. o Knowledge of how to derive and allocate requirements (e.g., system, sub-system, software) and show traceability throughout the product lifecycle. o Knowledge and ability to design, develop, integrate, apply, and test software models, simulations, framework environments, tools, and applications with higher order programming languages, assembly, and auto-code. Ability to perform Application Programming Interface (API) design, implementation, and testing. Knowledge of real-time software architecture and design methodologies to synthesize models and simulation frameworks that meet real-time requirements; this includes knowledge of real-time target environments, its processor and network architecture, communication protocols, and electrical interfaces. o Knowledge of software architecture and design methodologies. Ability to synthesize software architectures and designs that meet requirements, characteristics and constraints. o Knowledge of build and execution environments that include hosts, processors, operating systems, and networks. Ability to build, integrate, test, and troubleshoot software components comprising simulation models and build/execution frameworks. Knowledge of verification, validation, certification, and qualification processes. o Ability to design and develop software testing processes for different units, modules or components of a software application as a combined and integrated entity. It includes deep knowledge of integration-testing tools. o Ability to apply knowledge of 2D and/or 3D computer graphics to generate data representation and to communicate information. Ability to build animated graphics--graphic simulations simulating how systems work. Understanding of visual analytics tools and research. Background and familiarity with algorithms for image processing. Knowledge of multiple programming languages and operating systems to develop prototypes in this technology area. Ability to integrate hardware and software components into demonstrations.REQUIRED EDUCATION:
