The Opportunity You build the synthetic worlds that help warfighters decide faster. As a Lead Simulation Engineer, youll fuse Program of Record (PoR) sims including NGST, AFSIM, AFMSTT, and SAFESIM with real-time engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine, as well as NVIDIA Omniverse, to deliver credible, interoperable LVC environments for Indo-Pacific missions. Youll set technical direction, mentor engineers, and partner with operators to turn mission questions into data-driven outcomes.

What Youll Work On

• Lead architecture and technical delivery of mission-grade simulation solutions spanning AFSIM, AFMSTT, SAFESIM, and NGST, and real-time engines such as Unity, Unreal, and Omniverse, ensuring scale, fidelity, and interoperability.
• Integrate DIS, HLA, TENA, USD, and Omniverse pipelines for multi-domain LVC exercises, wargames, and operational analysis.
• Translate operational concepts, including CONOPS, TTPs, MOP, and MOE, into scenarios, models, and data flows aligned to Indo-Pacific mission threads.
• Own software quality and implement DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, code reviews, and model validation against ground truth.
• Mentor and grow a high-performing team to drive backlog estimation and delivery against mission milestones.
• Engage with stakeholders across Service components such as air, maritime, cyber, and space to capture needs and demonstrate outcomes.
• Advance performance and realism via GPU acceleration, multi-node orchestration, and sensor or weapon modeling.
• Support capture and proposals with credible technical volumes, BOEs, and demos that reflect Indo-Pacific realities.

• Experience with Git, including GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps, CI/CD, test automation, and containerization such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Experience with modeling and analysis, translating operational needs into measurable outcomes such as MOP and MOE, scenario design, and validation.
• Knowledge of HLA, DIS, and TENA LVC architectures and gateway translation.
• Ability to obtain a TSSCI clearance.
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Applied Mathematics and 2 years of experience in data engineering, OR 5 years of experience in data engineering in lieu of a degree.

Nice If You Have

• Experience bridging AFSIM with Unity, Unreal, or Omniverse and composing multi-engine pipelines.
• Experience with NVIDIA Omniverse, including USD pipelines, Render, and Kit, and SimReady assets for collaborative simulation workflows.
• Experience with GPU and HPC optimization, such as CUDA and multi-GPU orchestration, physics-based modeling, or synthetic sensor simulation.
• Experience with Agile leadership, including Scrum and Kanban, backlog management, and mentorship of mid-level engineers.
• Experience with Cloud and edge deployment, such as AWS, Azure, and GovCloud IL environments, IaC including Terraform, and secure networking.
• Knowledge of RMF or STIG and secure software practices for classified environments.
• Knowledge of JADC2, Indo-Pacific operational context, and mission thread decomposition.
• TSSCI clearance.
• Masters degree preferred.
• Doctorate degree in Engineering or Computer Science, a plus.
