What are Remote Missile Engineers?

Remote Missile Engineers are specialized professionals who design, test, and oversee the development of missile systems, often working from remote or off-site locations. Their work involves using advanced software and simulation tools to model missile performance, integrate guidance systems, and ensure safety and compliance with regulations. They collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including defense contractors and military personnel, to deliver effective missile solutions. Remote roles leverage secure communication and data-sharing technologies to maintain productivity and confidentiality.

What are some common challenges faced by Remote Missile Engineers when collaborating with cross-functional teams?

Remote Missile Engineers often work with multidisciplinary teams that may include systems engineers, software developers, and project managers located in different geographic areas. Effective communication and coordination can be challenging, especially when discussing complex technical specifications or troubleshooting issues remotely. Utilizing collaborative tools, maintaining clear documentation, and scheduling regular virtual meetings are essential practices to ensure seamless teamwork and project success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Missile Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Missile Engineer, you need a strong background in aerospace or mechanical engineering, physics, and mathematics, typically supported by at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Proficiency with CAD software, simulation tools like MATLAB or ANSYS, and knowledge of missile guidance and control systems are vital, along with security clearances in many cases. Exceptional problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills set top engineers apart in this field. These competencies are crucial for ensuring the safe, reliable, and innovative development and testing of missile systems in remote or collaborative environments.

What is the difference between Remote Missile Engineer vs Remote Aerospace Engineer?

AspectRemote Missile EngineerRemote Aerospace Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, specialized missile systems certificationsBachelor's in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, aerospace certifications
Work EnvironmentDefense contractors, government agencies, remote project teamsAircraft manufacturers, space agencies, remote engineering teams
Industry UsageMilitary, defense, national securityAerospace, aviation, space exploration
Common Search/ComparisonYesYes

The main difference between Remote Missile Engineer and Remote Aerospace Engineer lies in their focus areas. Missile engineers specialize in designing and testing missile systems primarily for defense and military applications, often working with government agencies. Aerospace engineers have a broader scope, working on aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. Both roles require engineering degrees and certifications, but their industry applications and project focuses differ significantly.

Job description

US Citizens only. This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance.

Company Overview

STILMAN Advanced Strategies develops software based on Linguistic Geometry (LG), a unique Artificial Intelligence approach. Our core technology generates predictive, tactically correct Courses of Action (COAs) that dynamically adapt in response to changes in missions and actions taken by the intelligent opposition. These tools support mission planning, rehearsal, training and execution use cases for military commanders across echelons and services. Our applications have been shown to deliver unique value to the warfighter due to the quality of generated COAs, User Experience/User Interface (UX/UI) design that makes it easy to fully comprehend complex COA results and to define mission inputs, as well as ease of deployment and integration with other systems with well-defined modern Application Program Interfaces (APIs).

Our small, distributed team has been developing and continually improving these software applications since 1999. We pride ourselves on the quality of our software, and we are excited as we continue this development with the US Marine Corps, US Navy, US Army, US Missile Defense Agency, and other government organizations to further enhance, integrate, and deploy these products.

The Role

We are looking to bring on one or more additional C++ developers to work on our primary back end applications that include custom Artificial Intelligence engine, military modeling and simulation framework, and integration capabilities for our own front end and third party systems. This system leverages a range of communication protocols, complex data structures and algorithms, GIS & geometric concepts, and high performance optimizations to support a growing range of use cases. You will be expanding our core AI and M&S frameworks to support new domains (from ground forces to ballistic missiles), use cases (from analysis to real-time wargaming), fidelity of modeling of real world environments and entities, and AI-enabled tactics generation. You will also be integrating our software with other M&S systems, military C2 and Intelligence systems, and supporting varied computing environments (from containers in the cloud to embedded computer in a combat vehicle).

You will take part in the design of new features or redesigning existing ones based on customer needs and feedback, implementation of the software changes using C++ with an enduring focus on performance and optimization, model military concepts in software, work closely with front end software developers on APIs, data representation and protocols, as well as work with third party software developers to find user-centric ways to integrate our systems.

Key Experience (REQUIRED)

  • C++
  • Development for Windows OS
  • Performance Optimization
  • Data Structures and Algorithms

Key Experience (RECOMMENDED)

  • Modeling & Simulation
  • GIS & Mapping
  • Geometric algorithms
  • Mercurial, Git, SVN
  • CI/CD, Jenkins
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • Military concepts and tactics
  • Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and other languages

The Team

We are a small team that's distributed throughout United States and work 100% remote, with some possible travel to customer sites. The software developers are self-motivated and able to work independently, but collaborate closely as a team to leverage individual strengths for the purpose of achieving common objectives. All aspects of our work are collaborative rather than stove piped into narrowly defined roles in order to facilitate transparency, streamlined communications, and shared understanding.

Benefits

We offer an attractive compensation package including competitive salaries, bonuses, medical and dental coverage, flexible schedule & PTO, and tuition assistance.
