We have an opening on our qualified, diverse Flight Software & Simulation Team within the Software & Controls Engineering organization to support graphical simulation CAD and software development for space vehicles for national security programs, NASA missions, and commercial satellites. We are seeking Software Engineer or Principal Software Engineer candidates, depending on years of experience and skillset.
Candidates will plan, organize and be involved in the full software lifecycle to primarily develop spacecraft 3D models for use in our simulation graphics applications. Additionally, software development skills are desired for contributions to the graphics software applications directly. Responsibilities include graphical modeling and simulation activities across multiple projects. The ideal candidate will have expertise in C/C++ and Python programming, and be well versed in 3D computer graphics rendering, having familiarity with modeling tools such as Blender.
A preferable candidate would be knowledgeable on the development and use of simulation models of sensors, actuators and space environments to demonstrate closed-loop spacecraft system performance and general integration and test of aerospace systems. An understanding of waterfall, spiral and Agile software development processes and continuous integration using Jenkins, Jira, Bitbucket, Git Lab and related Dev Sec Ops tools is also valuable.
In addition to developing software, preferred candidates should be familiar with basic engineering practices as they apply to integration, test and debugging of software and space systems in a laboratory setting. This position will involve documenting designs, analysis, and test results plus creating presentation materials for internal and external customers.
The ability to clearly document technical and programmatic status to management and spoken English fluency are necessary attributes of excellent candidates.
Roles And Responsibilities- Plan, organize and be involved in the full software lifecycle to develop spacecraft simulation software using state-of-the-art tools and software best practices.
- Develop models to support modeling and simulation activities across multiple projects.
- Establish simulation requirements.
- Work with other engineering disciplines to integrate and validate space vehicle modeling and simulation.
- Prepare designs documentation, analysis, test results and presentation materials for internal and external customers.
- In this role, engineers will also:
- Convert engineering spacecraft CAD models into optimized 3D visualizer tool models, using software such as Blender.
- Develop software interaction between the simulated spacecraft…
