Are you interested in taking missile system models and translating their design characteristics into algorithms and methodologies that can be used in flight-ready software?
Do you like working with a team to take innovative ideas from proof of concept to program ready final products?
If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.We are seeking a software engineer/developer to help us develop and translate algorithms, concepts and approaches for the mission planning, fire control and guidance of missile systems to flight-ready software.
As an Aerospace Software Engineer/Developer you will...- Develop software for mission planning, weapon control, and guidance systems using advanced methodologies
- Design methods for evaluating and testing developed software
- Algorithmically model the challenging dynamics of hypersonic vehicles in varying environments
- Interact with sponsors and external representative to formulate concepts of operation for these novel and advanced technologies
- Document and present work to sponsors and third-party collaborators
QualificationsYou meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...- Have a B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering; Computer Science; applied mathematics; or related technical field and 2+ years of relevant experience
