Job description

ClearanceJobs’ client is seeking a Software Engineer to work on-site in Mesa, AZ, supporting Air National Guard F-16 flight simulator technology. The individual’s primary responsibility will be to design, develop, document, test, and debug applications software and systems that support the F-16 Mission Tactics Trainer simulators, especially related to the F-16 MTT Operational Flight Program (OFP) and Center Display Unit (CDU). This involves conducting multidisciplinary research and collaborating with equipment designers and/or hardware engineers in the planning, design, development, and utilization of electronic data processing systems for F-16 MTT simulator software.

This is a full-time position offering a salary + benefits package. An active DOD Secret Clearance with ability to upgrade to Special Access Program is required at the time of interview and Information Assurance Training (IAT) Level 2 Certification (ex. CompTIA Security+) is required to begin working (potential for the company to pay for this bootcamp exists).

Responsibilities: • Design, develop, modify, and integrate software components supporting F-16 MTT simulator functionality using C, C#, or C++ • Develop software for VxWorks • Execute compatibility validation and regression testing during modernization efforts (e.g., Windows 11 migration). • Implement and support APIs between internal and external system components • Apply Agile Software Development Lifecycle methodologies and processes • Utilize debugging and analysis tools • Maintain software baselines through formal configuration management processes. • Develop and maintain technical documentation (ICDs, STPs, test reports, design descriptions).

• Prepare and present findings and recommendations to organization leadership • Maintain compliance with RMF security controls and enclave accreditation requirements. • Support STIG implementation, vulnerability remediation, and secure configuration validation. • Coordinate with ISSO and cybersecurity personnel to preserve ATO posture.

• Ensure engineering decisions align with NIST SP 800-53 and DoD CIO directives. Required: • 3+ years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 6+ years relevant experience without a degree is acceptable. • Active DoD Secret Clearance with the ability to upgrade to Special Access Program / Special Access Required (SAP/SAR).

• DOD 8570 / Information Assurance Training (IAT) Level 2 Certification required prior to start date ◦ (CompTIA Security+, CySA+, other DOD-approved IAT level II credentials) • Experience operating within Windows-based secure environments. • Effective written and oral communication skills • Excellent time management skills • Experience researching new technologies to help solve existing technical problems or shortfalls • The physical requirements listed below are representative of those that are needed by an employee to successfully perform essential job duties. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties.

◦ Must be able to lift and/or move up to 40 pounds ◦ Must be able to walk and/or climb stairs and/or ladders into a simulator or airplane cockpit ◦ Must be able to stoop, bend, and crawl on top or under simulators ◦ Must be able to distinguish colors Desired: • Experience developing real-time simulation software. • Experience developing software that produces and consumes distributed simulation protocols (e.g., DIS, HLA) • Familiarity with F-16 avionics, mission systems, or fighter aircraft training environments • Experience with distributed simulation software applications, scheduling tools and environment generator applications. • Experience with tools such as JIRA, Confluence and Git Extensions.

• Experience in the DoD simulator community. • Experience supporting SAP efforts.
