DescriptionUnreal Engine Software Developer (Modeling & Simulation) - Develop and maintain real-time simulation software using Unreal Engine for aviation training and mission rehearsal systems supporting programs at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.
- Collaborate with the Visual Systems Team to integrate real-time graphics, Image Generators (IG), and out-the-window (OTW) visual environments used in piloted simulation systems.
- Design and implement high-fidelity 3D environments, aircraft models, terrain databases, and visual effects to support immersive simulation scenarios.
- Develop and optimize real-time rendering pipelines, shaders, and performance tuning to ensure stable frame rates and low latency for piloted simulators.
- Integrate Unreal-based visualization with simulation frameworks, avionics models, and external data interfaces used in training and engineering simulators.
- Support visual database development and maintenance, including terrain generation, texturing, lighting, and environmental effects for OTW systems.
- Participate in system integration, test events, and troubleshooting within laboratory and simulator environments supporting aviation modeling and simulation programs.
Position Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience with Unreal Engine, demonstrated through significant undergraduate development projects or professional/post-graduate development experience.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Unreal Blueprints, with experience developing interactive or real-time applications.
- Experience or familiarity with 3D graphics, game engines, modeling pipelines, or real-time visualization systems (e.g., shaders, rendering pipelines, or simulation visualization tools).
