Senior Staff Engineer, Simulation Software (R2554)
San Diego Metro Area / Washington DC Metro Area
Hivemind – Design /
Full Time Employee /
On-site
As a Simulation Software Engineer with the Hivemind Design (HMD) Department, you will be responsible for several simulation environments that support the development and implementation of autonomous behavior on Group 3 and Group 5 unmanned aircraft. You will be an integral to definition of sensor capabilities, image rendering, environmental conditions, and integrated EO/IR based simulated payloads on simulated platforms. The simulation environment you support will directly interact (through interfaces you create and maintain) with the autonomy and ground control station for VBATs and other platforms. As a Simulation Engineer you will ensure compliance with DoD and Industry standards (to include DIS and CIGI).
About our simulation environment – The HMD Simulation environment is multipurpose and written in the same stack as our autonomy environment. It utilizes Unreal Engine 5 for high fidelity visualization, Diligent Engine for low fidelity visualization, and integrates with DoD M&S products AFSIM and NGTS. The environment promotes modularity with simulation blocks, interface blocks, and a common scenario format.
What You'll Do:
- Improve and maintain existing Hivemind Design Simulation Environment
- Support packaging of final product to internal and external customers for training and testing
- Driving technical design and integration of new simulated payloads as they become required for platform testing
- Work on a team of 6-10 other software engineers on advancing features for the HMD simulation product
- Support extensibility of simulation environment through well defined interfaces provided by government and business customers
Required Qualifications:
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and/or similar degree, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong C/C++ development experience
- Demonstrated problem solving skills by applying a scientific approach
- 10+ years of industry experience
- Experience working projects with 10+ contributors
- Experience in a relevant DoD modeling and simulation environment
- Comfortability within UNIX/Linux environments
- Offer fast, efficient, effective problem solving approaches
- Exceptional collaborator and communicator
- Hard-working, trustworthy teammate
- Exhibits holding themselves and others to high standard
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience using AFSIM or NGTS as a modeler or developer
- Integrating DoD M&S environments with a targeted platform (ex - F-16)
- Docker, Kubernetes, and/or containerized application development
- MS or greater in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and/or similar degree, or equivalent practical experience
- Understanding of robotics technologies related to autonomous behavior development e.g. task allocation or planning.
- Understanding/Experience with unmanned system technologies and accompanying algorithms (specifically air domain)
