Full Job Description
Description

Do you love developing creative solutions to challenging problems?

Are you passionate about applying modeling and simulation to solve to some of our country's critical challenges?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!

We are seeking a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer who will work in a collaborative environment to develop and deploy integrated M&S software applications, and utilize them for performance analysis of combat system components. You will be joining a hardworking team of engineers and scientists who are passionate about developing high-impact solutions at the forefront of APL's mission to provide innovative solutions to critical challenges in the area of missile defense.

As a Modeling and Simulation Engineer...
  • You will work in cross-functional research teams to identify and recommend the most suitable modeling and simulation approaches for study objectives.
  • You will architect integrated software solutions to optimize simulation workflows and support rigorous analysis.
  • You will develop integration layers to connect software applications and enable them to interoperate.
  • You will create and maintain scripts to orchestrate and automate large-scale simulation runs.
  • You will insert algorithm prototypes into existing models, to support concept exploration and feasibility studies for the development of future advanced capabilities.
  • You will diagnose and debug software defects while tracing and root causing anomalous simulation outcomes.
  • You will analyze simulation outputs and translate results into clear insights for the research sponsor.
  • You will deliver presentations to technical staff, program leadership, and government sponsors.

Qualifications

You meet the minimum requirements for the job if you...
  • Possess a Bachelor's degree in Math, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Have 2+ years of experience in software development and integration.
  • Are proficient in Python and C++ with the ability to translate mathematical concepts into well-documented and efficient code.
  • Are adept with software revision control practices (e.g.: Git).
  • Are familiar with software build systems like Make/CMake.
  • Are comfortable using a debugger to troubleshoot code in a Linux environment.
  • Can effectively communicate ideas and results.
  • Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.


You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...
  • Have an MS or higher degree in Engineering, Math, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Have 5+ years of experience in software development, integration, deployment, and maintenance.
