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.
Basic Qualifications:- 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
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Top Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance.
