Standard Job Description
Build high-fidelity simulations that power next-generation sensor fusion systems. As a Software Engineer on the Fusion Simulation team, you will develop and integrate advanced simulation environments used to validate and test mission-critical fusion capabilities. Your work ensures that complex third-party models and internally developed algorithms perform accurately, efficiently, and reliably before deployment to operational systems.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, modeling & simulation, and sensor fusion testing infrastructure. You will work in C++ to build scalable simulation components, integrate external models, and improve the fidelity of testing environments that directly support the development of advanced aerospace fusion systems.
What You Will Be Doing:Develop and maintain high-fidelity simulation software in C++ to support sensor fusion and mission system validation.Integrate third-party models and internal simulation components into a unified testing environment for Fusion applications.Analyze system and software requirements to ensure accurate representation of real-world behaviors in simulation environments.Troubleshoot software issues, identify defects, and support resolution through structured debugging and analysis techniques.Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams including software, systems, and test engineers to ensure simulation accuracy and usability.Support Agile development processes and modern engineering workflows including Git-based version control and CI/CD pipelines.Ensure software quality through testing, validation, and continuous improvement of simulation fidelity and performance.
Plans, conducts, and coordinates software development activities. Designs, develops, documents, tests, and debugs software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment. Applies the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development life cycle. Applies knowledge of computer hardware and software, subject matter to be programmed in business/mission applications, information processing techniques used, and information gathered from system users to develop software. Corrects program errors, prepares operating instructions, compiles documentation of program development, and analyzes system capabilities to resolve questions of program intent, output requirements, input data acquisition, programming techniques, and controls. Ensures software standards are met.
