Mission Technologies, a division of HII, is seeking a Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain high‑fidelity visual and geospatial databases that power real‑time simulation, flight training, and immersive environments for the F‑16 Mission Tactics Trainer (MTT). This role blends software development, geospatial engineering, and 3D visual database creation, with a strong focus on performance, accuracy, and reliability in secure environments.

The ideal candidate brings hands‑on experience with visual/spatial database development, Python‑based tools and GUIs, and 3D terrain, imagery, and cultural feature integration for simulation systems.

The F‑16 Mission Tactics Trainer is a critical training asset for U.S. and allied pilots. The visual and geospatial databases you build directly impact mission readiness, realism, and training effectiveness. Your work ensures pilots train in environments that accurately reflect real‑world terrain, threats, and operational conditions—ultimately strengthening national defense and aircrew survivability.

• Develop visual databases including terrain, 2D/3D cultural features, moving models, and special effects for day, night, NVG, and IR applications.
• Integrate, debug, and optimize database modeling issues to ensure real‑time performance.
• Build real‑time 3D geospatial databases for simulation and training by incorporating geospatial source data and cultural feature files.
• Apply geospatial engineering best practices, testing, and data development to improve data quality and support distributed teams.
• Implement and support APIs between internal and external system components.
• Contribute to Agile development processes, including SDLC activities, debugging, and analysis.
• Prepare and present technical findings and recommendations to leadership.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
