Job description

Metis Technology Solutions is looking for a Software Developer to join our team.

Metis Technology Solutions, Inc. is the prime contractor for NASA Langley’s Simulation and Aircraft Service Task Order under the ARTS contract in Hampton, Virginia. We are looking for a software engineer experienced in Object Oriented Design (OOD) and development to support high fidelity, man-in-the-loop, real-time synchronous aircraft and spacecraft simulations projects. 

The Simulation and Aircraft Services (SAS) task order provides full life cycle flight simulation software and hardware services and flight simulation infrastructure engineering services for LaRC ground-based and flight research systems and facilities. Hardware services include engineering, operations, and maintenance of the simulation hardware and software infrastructure. Infrastructure engineering services include modification of existing infrastructure, design and implementation of new infrastructure, and support for simulation operations and maintenance activities. 

The Flight Simulation Facilities (FSF) are comprised of computing systems including the Real-Time Computer Systems, a six-degree-of-freedom motion base, four full-sized simulator cockpits, and a multi-purpose re-configurable test and evaluation simulator. The FSF also includes Systems Integration and Laboratories. 

 

Basic Required Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor of Science degree in computer science , mathematics, , aerospace or mechanical engineering from an accredited college or university is required. 
  • Software engineer with 1-5 years of experience in Object Oriented Design (OOD) and development to support high fidelity, man-in-the-loop, real-time synchronous aircraft and spacecraft simulations is sought.
  • Experience in OOD in C++ running under Linux, and a strong background in math or physics desired.
  • Experience with Rational Rose, Jira, Agile software development, C++ development under Windows, visual database development and modification, OpenGL, OpenFlight, or GTK 3.0 would be highly beneficial. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills required.
  • No security clearance is required.
