Albuquerque NM 87101 US
LinQuest is seeking a Software Engineer/Developer to join our team in Albuquerque, NM. This position supports the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate (ARFL/RV), the Air Force’s center of excellence for space research. AFRL/RV develops and transitions technologies that provide space-based capabilities to the nation. In this role, you will work with government and industry leaders to develop new modeling & simulation capabilities for space, driving critical analyses and investment decisions for pathfinding technologies. An active Secret clearance is required. Responsibilities will include: * Perform software design and development in C++
* Collaborate with customers and systems engineers and subject matter experts to develop, refine and translate requirements
* Research trends for various concept designs and translate to detailed software models
* Provide technical engineering support to analysis projects
* Conduct modeling and simulation (M&S) study and analysis support
* Analyze test data on various space systems, compare to M&S results, provide summary reports
* Support modeling and simulation for space systems (e.g., SATCOM, GPS and GNSS)
* Lead or manage aspects of or full projects
* Solve complex problems
* Meet regularly with customer, provide oral and written status on tasks
Required Experience * Bachelor's Degree in a STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Computer Engineering, Computer Sciences or other related degree
* 5+ years of programming experience with C++, Python, Matlab, Visual Basic and AFSIM.
* Some experience in system architecting, modeling, simulation, analysis, developing concepts, early systems engineering, and/or soliciting concepts from industry and stakeholders
* Ability to communicate clearly and concisely both orally and in writing to support acquisition documentation and effectively collaborate among the engineering team and management to achieve common project goals
* Ability to build, integrate and troubleshoot software components
* Ability to take technical findings/data to generate analysis required to support informed decisions
* An active Secret clearance is required.
Preferred Experience: * General knowledge of other software programming frameworks and databases and the ability to apply that knowledge to the software domain
* Knowledge of the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) for M&S efforts
* Some understanding of space-based assets, including satellite constellations, space-based radar, space weather, space ISR and GPS
* 5+ years of software engineering experience
* Experience working with constructive mission simulations
* Experience conducting modeling and simulation (M&S) study and analysis support
* General knowledge of real-time target environments, including processor and network architectures, communication protocols and exiting simulation framework design/use
* Working knowledge of electronic warfare in a technical field such as aircraft, ship, missile, or space systems
* Mission Level Analysis derived from physics-based modeling and simulation
* Experience supporting system engineering and integration of concept development, systems design and architecture, modeling and simulation, engineering integration, test and evaluation
