Satellite Developer Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: AFSIM Framework Developer | The Trailblazer Location: Dayton, Ohio Who You Are: Like Lewis and Clark, this role requires you to navigate situations and blaze a new trail. You will forge new framework capabilities to move the mission forward. The maps you create will help future developers and modelers navigate rough terrain and even the occasional black hole. You understand that charting a course is more than following a compass. Similarly, you understand that the software you develop must be more than a nice-looking UI; you develop efficient code, documented APIs, and follow established architectural patterns. When forging your trial, you must balance providing capabilities at the speed of relevance with the pursuit of perfection. Much like GPS has changed the way we navigate today, you will change how users interact with AFSIM using the latest architectural approaches, open-source tools, and custom developed code to deliver complete solutions to address user needs.

Along the way you will build relationships, representing AFSIM to that user community much like Lewis and Clark represented the U.S. on their trek.
