RANGE POSITION DESCRIPTION
RANGE POSITION DESCRIPTION
The primary purpose is to provide software development related to modeling and simulation systems that support developmental and operational test and evaluation (DT&E and OT&E) test programs. These systems consist of primarily of computer networks, and system integration laboratories (SIL), but could also involve hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) facilities integrating digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, aircraft, weapons, environmental, and threat models, databases, and operational flight program software related to interactive man-in-the-loop battlespace environments.
Proficient in C++, Python, Linux or similar programming languages.
Knowledge and understanding of Windows, Linux and any related operating systems, SQL databases.
Knowledge with software modeling and simulation integrating one or more of the following: sensors, electronic warfare systems, communication links, databases, aircraft, threat models, databases and weapons systems.
Knowledge with integrating software and modeling environments consisting of digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, mechanical and electrical interfaces and flight program software.
Knowledge with testing, deployment, configuration management and software sustainment.
Background with coding or modeling using MIL-STD-1760 or 1553 data bus characteristics along with experience with Air-to Air and Air to ground weapons desired. Coding and modeling of weapons data links and GPS characteristics desired.
Ability to program (various languages and protocols), integrate/manipulate models and generate computer networks for virtual, live, and constructive simulation of combat aircraft avionics, armament, or electronic warfare systems. (C++, LINUX, WINDOWS, QT SQL, etc)
Knowledge of advanced concepts, principles, and techniques across multiple interrelated and integrated technical and test engineering disciplines applied to modeling and simulation of combat aircraft avionics, armament, or electronic warfare systems or related systems/subsystems
Knowledge of flight and laboratory air vehicle/missile test conduct, coordination and supervision, data analysis/evaluation and applicable flight test truth sources, modeling and simulation systems and techniques, technical report preparation, and administrative aspects of flight test programs.
The primary duties required are to provide technical expertise in the area of software development, integration of models, armament, sensor and electronic warfare systems for a complex integrated battlespace modeling and simulation environments consisting of digital & analog processors, cockpit displays & controls, mechanical & electrical interfaces, and operational flight program software. Integrate with civilian/military professionals engaged in software development, flight simulator development, engineering, operation, and maintenance.
The incumbent develops software and will support the verification and validation of software, models and data from avionics, sensor, EW and weapons related test of manned and unmanned modeling and simulated combat aircraft, threat and missile systems. After analysis, results of tests are compared with system performance, mission requirements, and test plan objectives, and the outcome is presented in the form of understandable and accurate plots, tables, and other graphic representations.
REQUIREMENTS - EDUCATION, TECHNICAL, AND WORK EXPERIENCE
The incumbent must have a Bachelor's Degree in an associated discipline and at least 4 years of related experience, or have a Master's Degree in an associated discipline and at least 2 years of experience, or a PhD in an associated discipline.
