  • Prepare model inputs/outputs and manage simulation interfaces to support dynamic, multi-variable engineering scenarios and real-time data exchange.
  • Collaborate with systems engineers, QA, and hardware teams to define integration requirements and resolve technical issues.

Job Requirements
  • 0-3 years of relevant civilian or military professional modeling and simulation, data analysis, or technical experience.

  • Clearance: Active DOD Secret clearance or the ability to obtain one.

Preferred Requirements
  • Experience preparing M&S inputs/outputs and data visualization products.
  • Familiarity with simulation development using the Unity game engine or virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) applications.
