Simulation Software information

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

To thrive as a Simulation Software Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in C++, Python, or MATLAB), a background in mathematics or engineering, and experience with simulation modeling. Familiarity with simulation platforms like Simulink, Arena, or AnyLogic, as well as knowledge of version control and software development tools, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication help you translate complex systems into accurate simulations and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications ensure the creation of reliable, efficient simulation models that inform decision-making and innovation across industries.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in simulation software development, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in simulation software often encounter challenges such as ensuring model accuracy, managing computational resource demands, and integrating their solutions with other engineering tools. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with subject matter experts, staying updated on advancements in computing hardware, and adhering to industry standards for interoperability. Regular communication with team members—including engineers, designers, and testers—also helps to streamline troubleshooting and foster innovative solutions.

What is simulation software?

Simulation software is a type of computer program that models real-world systems, processes, or environments to study their behavior under various conditions. It allows users to test scenarios, predict outcomes, and optimize designs without the cost or risk of physical experiments. Simulation software is widely used in industries like engineering, healthcare, aviation, and manufacturing for purposes such as product development, training, and research. The software can range from simple models to highly complex, multi-physics simulations depending on the application.

Job description

Full Time

Professional

Hampton, VA, US

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 communicati on skills required.

  • No security clearance is required.
