Re-posted 4 days ago

Job description

Swift is a privately held, mission-driven and employee-focused services and solutions company headquartered in Reston, VA. Our capabilities include Software Development, Engineering & IT, Data Science, Cyber Enablement, Logistics, and Training. Founded in 2019, Swift supports Civilian, Defense, and Intelligence Community customers across the country and around the globe. We're looking for a Principal Systems Engineer to work in Laurel, Maryland. The Principal Engineer (PE) will provide oversight to tactical engineering activities to accomplish system goals to include coordinating and participating in design meetings and technical reviews. The PE will support HPC installation and deployment while working as lead system engineer supporting and achieving HPC program goals. Required Skills: Specialized expertise in logical architecture assessment, quantum algorithm simulation, architecture-aware performance modeling, ISA/compiler analysis, and system-level benchmarking is required to assess algorithms of interest on a functional representation of a target quantum system. This work supports estimation of time to solution and probability of success at the logical architecture level and enables gap analysis between projected system performance and mission requirements. Responsibilities include analyzing and refining functional system models, incorporating the relevant ISA specification, and performing compiler-level analysis to map algorithms onto the architecture. Additional work includes assessing structural code-framework issues and resolving remaining ISA/compiler integration issues needed for realistic simulation. This expertise is needed to generate credible performance estimates, identify capability gaps in proposed architectures and simulation capabilities, connect architectural assumptions to algorithm outcomes, and support mission-informed assessment of system capability. Level 3 Qualifications: * Three (3) years of experience with an agency or HPC development program.
* Fifteen (15) years of experience in technical roles for Government or industry customer.
* Ten (10) years of experience as a system engineer supporting programs to develop and field large- scale systems to include expertise in system architecture, requirements analysis, system documentation, system evaluation, and process execution and evaluation.
* B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or other related technical discipline from an accredited college or university. May substitute four (4) years relevant experience in lieu of a degree. Security Clearance: * A current government clearance, background investigation, and polygraph are required.
