Description

Description POSITION IS CONTINGENT UPON CONTRACT AWARD We are seeking a highly skilled Computer Engineer with a strong specialization in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) to support NAWCAD WOLF’s Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATC&LS) Division based out of Patuxent River, MD. In this role, you will perform hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulation engineering, model complex multi-sensor radar data processing networks, and design synthetic test environments. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that shipboard, shore-based, and expeditionary air traffic management systems seamlessly integrate into current and future Navy architectures. Key Responsibilities HWIL & Simulation Architecture: Design, configure, and maintain hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulation environments to test real-world ATC equipment, including Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), radar processors, and tactical data links. System Modeling: Develop and execute high-fidelity computer simulations to analyze radar propagation, sensor fusion, and airspace integration constraints for both manned and unmanned air combat vehicles. Interface Testing: Program and maintain custom interfaces ( drivers, digital and analog signal emulation) to bridge physical tactical hardware with simulated system environments. Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate M&S test strategies to validate system requirements, identify performance gaps, and mitigate technical obsolescence risks in legacy systems like the AN/SPN radar series. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate directly with government engineering leads, Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), and configuration managers to transition successful rapid prototypes from laboratory environments to fleet installations. Requirements Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a highly related technical field. Experience: 5+ years of engineering experience with a demonstrable background in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) applications. Technical Skills: Proficiency with simulation frameworks and modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Ansys, or equivalent DoD-standard M&S tools). Strong understanding of hardware interfaces, network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP), serial communication, and military data bus standards (e.g., MIL-STD-1553). Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and embedded system testing environments. Preferred: Knowledge of Naval Air Traffic Control systems, Joint Interoperability standards, or previous experience working within an oLSI framework. Citizenship & Security: Must be a U.S. Citizen. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.
