Simulation Software Integration EngineerHII's Mission Technologies division is seeking a Simulation Software Integration Engineer to support Fighter?In?A?Box (FIAB) capabilities for F?22 and/or F?35 synthetic environments. This role supports Modeling, Simulation, and Training (M&S) integration efforts at the Joint Integrated Test and Training Center – Nellis (JITTC?N), located at Nellis AFB, NV, supporting the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center's Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) team.As part of an on?site engineering team, you will help deliver high?end Advanced Tactics, Training, and Test capability for Government personnel operating under USAFWC/ACC by supporting the development, refinement, and integration of FIAB software within the JSE architecture. This role is focused on software integration, troubleshooting, and enhancement of complex simulation systems, rather than general simulator operations.Key Job ResponsibilitiesProvide on?site support for the 31st Combat Training Squadron's JSE training systems at Nellis AFB.Troubleshoot FIAB issues by reviewing FIAB source code and/or JSE Platform Plugin (JPP) source code.Integrate FIAB mission?system models, sensor models, software interfaces, and avionics behaviors into the JSE simulation environment.Develop enhancements, resolve defects, and optimize FIAB software performance within distributed or real?time simulation architectures.Integrate FIAB capabilities with other JSE and non?JSE platforms across synthetic training and test environments.Assist with accurately documenting, reporting, and tracking deficiencies related to FIAB and JPP components.Collaborate with engineers, operators, and Government SMEs to support reliable, high?fidelity synthetic test and training capabilities.What You Will Do5 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 3 years relevant experience with Masters in related field; 0 years experience with PhD or Juris Doctorate in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 9 years relevant experience.
Experience in software development and software design.
