Share Email Opening Title Senior Software Developer  Description The Senior Software Developer will lead teams developing state-of-the-art military aircraft simulations. The work will involve mentoring junior developers and engineers, prioritizing and assigning tasks, performing code reviews to enforce JFTI and project-specific coding standards, ensuring software is properly tested, and providing direct assistance to customers worldwide.  The position requires knowledge and experience in the following areas: In-depth knowledge of aircraft systems and avionics (navigation, communication, propulsion, flight control systems). Solid understanding of aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and the principles of flight for modeling realistic aircraft behavior. Familiarity with military combat tactics, flight maneuvers, and training requirements for combat aircraft simulations. Deep understanding of networked simulation environments (e.g., Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High-Level Architecture (HLA), Tactical Data Link simulation). Knowledge of sensor and weapon system modeling (radars, infrared, electronic warfare, missile systems). Familiarity with software version control tools such as Git. Strong grasp of numerical methods and physics engines to simulate real-world behavior in aircraft systems (e.g., force, drag, lift, engine performance). Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation environments. Experience with real-time 3D graphics, using libraries such as OpenGL, DirectX, or proprietary visualization tools for rendering simulation environments. Cybersecurity practices in defense systems, especially in safeguarding mission-critical software and simulations from vulnerabilities.   Position Requirements 10+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on real-time simulation, embedded systems, or high-performance computing. 5+ years of experience in developing and implementing simulation models, particularly in military or aerospace domains (aircraft systems, avionics, or flight dynamics). Hands-on experience in C/C++, including modern versions of the languages (C++11/14/17), for performance-critical and large-scale systems. Strong background in simulation frameworks (e.g., DIS, HLA, or proprietary military simulation protocols). Familiarity with physics-based modeling, including aerodynamic models, control systems, and sensor simulations (radar, GPS, etc.). Experience in using simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, FlightGear, JSBSim, or other flight simulators. Solid understanding of multithreading concepts for high-concurrency applications. Proven ability to design, develop, and integrate software for flight control systems, mission planning systems, or weapon simulation. Experience working on projects adhering to military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-6016, MIL-STD-1760). Experience with software testing, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing within a simulation environment. Experience leading fast-paced, iterative development cycles. Ability to communicate proficiently in English, speaking and writing.   Salary Range Will commensurate with experience   Full-Time/Part-Time Full-Time   Level of Clearance Required Secret Eligible   Amount of Travel Up to 15%   About the Organization J.F.
