Full Job Description
Department Summary:

Our team builds extensible, scalable, real-time distributed simulation capabilities used primarily for developing and accessing transportation concepts. We are looking for someone eager to apply their software development and computer science skills in a dynamic research environment supporting the Immersion Discovery Lab, Simulation, Experimentation and Analytics Lab (SEAL), and Integration Demonstration and Experimentation for Aviation (IDEA) Lab. These labs are extensible, scalable, real-time distributed simulation environments based on an open, layered architecture. They bring together a broad set of integrated capabilities for human-in-the-loop simulations, demonstrations, and immersive visualizations. They are environments capable of handling a range of exploratory concepts, while also being realistic enough to provide a high-quality user experience. This includes the use of mixed reality, rapid prototyping, accelerated computing and the use of generative artificial intelligence.

The position requires creative problem-solving skills, good communication skills, an eagerness to learn new skills, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative team environment.

Roles & Responsibilities:
  • Software development of real-time simulation applications and immersive environments
  • Working as part of a team of software engineers, experiment designers, operational domain experts, and human factors engineers to help demonstrate and test concepts for sponsors in an iterative rapid-prototyping environment.

  • Typically requires less than 1 year of related experience with a related Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of related education and work experience
  • Experience with Full Stack Web Development
  • Experience with XR development and/or Game Engine development (Unreal Engine, Unity)
  • Experience with C++/Java/Python and other modern software languages
  • Exposure to Linux-based software development
  • Ability and willingness to obtain and maintain a Top Secret Clearance
  • Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance
  • This position requires a minimum of 4 days a week on-site


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with DevOps concepts
  • Experience with configuration management (e.g. Git)
  • Experience with or exposure to containerization and/or virtualization
  • Exposure to native/hybrid mobile development
  • Exposure to robotics and control systems (e.g. ROS 2, Isaac Sim)
  • Exposure to NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim
  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline


This requisition requires the candidate to have a minimum of the following clearance(s):
None

This requisition requires the hired candidate to have or obtain, within one year from the date of hire, the following clearance(s):
Top Secret

Salary compensation range and midpoint:
