Design and assist in the development of a large-scale distributed simulation system using an existing simulation framework. Collaboratively define interfaces between this system and military C2 systems and other simulations. Develop and maintain system software architecture. Design detailed interfaces between incrementally developed components.

Responsibilities include: Full lifecycle software development to include software requirements analysis, software design, software implementation, software integration and test, and system documentation.

• Work through full-cycle development that includes requirements analysis, design, & implementation
• Lead component and system-level design efforts
• Design and implement component interfaces
• Coordinate with developers of interoperating systems on interface requirements
• Ensure system interoperability with current and developing simulation federations
• Document and communicate system design
• Derive software requirements from system-level requirements
• Decompose high-level software requirements (Epics) into component tasks executable within the Agile sprint timeframe
• Design, code and debug applications in various software languages using object-oriented design where appropriate
• Provide technical leadership to a product development team
• Coach, teach, and mentor less experienced developers
• Understand and adhere to project schedules and stay within established budgets.
• Comply with program processes for software development and configuration management. This includes meaningful participation in Agile development process events such as scrums and sprint reviews
• Operate in a collaborative team composed of contractor and Government personnel

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline such as electrical engineering, computer science, information technology, systems or software engineering from an accredited college or university or any bachelor’s degree and two years additional software development experience. Master’s degree desired. High school diploma and 5 years’ additional software development experience can substitute for bachelor’s degree.
• Minimum of 15 years’ software engineering experience.
• Minimum of 3 years’ experience in design of complex software systems
• Familiarity with industry software development standards and with the capabilities of related Department of Defense software systems.
• Employ interoperability standards commonly used in Department of Defense modeling and simulation (i.e., DIS and HLA)
• Develop Software using Java, C/C++, JavaScript, and XML in MS Windows, and Linux
• Properly apply object-oriented design principles to development efforts
• Ability to test and debug
• System operations in Linux/windows to include shell scripting
• Employ version control tools (i.e., Git) in compliance with program configuration management processes
• Operate collaboratively in a development team environment
• Aptitude for learning new technologies such as programming languages and tools
• Written and oral communication skills sufficient to explain designs and development issues to customer representatives

Knowledge in any of the following areas would be considered a plus:

• Demonstrated experience developing interfaces to military C4I systems
• Experience supporting military training events/exercises utilizing simulation-based training systems
• Secure systems
• Agile development
• Database design
• Continuous integration
• Experience with Amazon Web Services

• U. S. Citizenship
• Ability to obtain a SECRET to TOP SECRET security clearance
