Senior Software Engineer II - Modeling and Simulation - Autonomy Systems

The Senior Software Engineer II position in AI/Autonomy systems development will emphasize modeling/simulation (M+S) and software testing of complex autonomy systems in operationally realistic scenarios. The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and supporting advanced M+S infrastructure for testing and evaluation of AI/Autonomy-enabled systems in multiple domains.

• Develop advanced M+S infrastructure, and support testing of multi-vehicle autonomy for operational environments.

• Provide relevant technical expertise as part of a team to design, implement, simulate, and test autonomy software systems for uncrewed, multi-vehicle autonomy systems.

• Support presentation of technical information and data to internal and external customers.

• This role may require occasional travel (10%) when necessary.

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a United States Secret Security Clearance.

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Math, Statistics, Robotics or related subject area and 5+ years of related experience.

• Experience in Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling environment including developing new scenarios and models; C++ plugins to AFSIM; interfaces to JSE; and configuration-managed large-scale simulation test data.

• Prior experience in model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), digital twin and/or LVC testing of advanced AI/autonomy software technologies.

• Experience with C/C++, Python, and relevant high-performance compute (HPC) infrastructure used for large-scale, distributed simulation (DIS) environments.

• Experience working with software technologies for Robotics, Machine Learning, and/or Multi-agent AI/Autonomy Systems.

• Experience with modern software development tool chains and processes (Agile, git/Gitlab/Github, Confluence/Jira, CI/CD and automated test methodologies, etc.).

• Established history of successfully leading small-team implementation of advanced AI/Autonomy software technologies and effective technical communications.

• Working knowledge of USG DoD mission data systems and datalink architectures, such as JSE, OMS, UMAA, FACE, DDS, ROS, STANAG 4586, J-Series.
