Sr Software Developer (OH, Dayton)

The Senior Software Developer will lead teams developing state-of-the-art military aircraft simulations.

The work will involve mentoring junior developers and engineers, prioritizing and assigning tasks, performing code reviews to enforce JFTI and project-specific coding standards, ensuring software is properly tested, and providing direct assistance to customers worldwide.?

The position requires knowledge and experience in the following areas:

• In-depth knowledge of?aircraft systems and avionics?(navigation, communication, propulsion, flight control systems).
• Solid understanding of?aerodynamics,?flight dynamics, and the?principles of flight?for modeling realistic aircraft behavior.
• Familiarity with?military combat tactics, flight maneuvers, and training requirements for combat aircraft simulations.
• Deep understanding of?networked simulation environments?(e.g., Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High-Level Architecture (HLA), Tactical Data Link simulation).
• Knowledge of?sensor and weapon system modeling?(radars, infrared, electronic warfare, missile systems).
• Familiarity with software version control tools such as Git.
• Strong grasp of?numerical methods?and?physics engines?to simulate real-world behavior in aircraft systems (e.g., force, drag, lift, engine performance).
• Familiarity with?hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)?or?software-in-the-loop (SIL)?simulation environments.
• Experience with?real-time 3D graphics, using libraries such as?OpenGL,?DirectX, or proprietary visualization tools for rendering simulation environments.
• Cybersecurity?practices in defense systems, especially in safeguarding mission-critical software and simulations from vulnerabilities.
