Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Job DescriptionVerity was founded with a focus on providing advanced science and technology and business management services to commercial and government clients. Our team comprises engineers and analysts with subject matter expertise in various domains, including software development, simulation technologies, experimentation support tools, and systems analysis methodologies. Additionally, we have applied our expertise in evaluating, analyzing, and simulating emerging threats. These capabilities have been successfully applied to not only Science and Technology (S&T) programs, but also major weapon system acquisition programs and gap-filling warfighter solutions.We are seeking a Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer to support cutting-edge simulation development across Air and Missile Defense and Long-Range Fires domains. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on mission-critical defense programs while working in a collaborative, mission-focused environment.Position OverviewYou'll work independently to design, develop, and maintain high-fidelity simulations of military systems as part of a larger project or program. This role requires strong software engineering fundamentals combined with experience developing physics-based or behavior-based models of real-world defense systems. You'll take ownership of your work with minimal supervision, contributing meaningfully across the full simulation development lifecycle - from requirements and design through implementation and test.Key ResponsibilitiesIndependently design, develop, and maintain simulation models of military systems including radars, Command and Control (C2) systems, and flight models for missiles and/or aircraftDevelop high-performance simulation software using C++ and/or RustTranslate system requirements, technical documents, and domain knowledge into accurate, validated simulation componentsPerform unit and integration testing to verify model fidelity and correctnessProduce clear technical documentation covering design, implementation, and testIntegrate simulation components into larger simulation architectures and frameworksSupport analysis and experimentation efforts using simulation-based toolingParticipate in Agile workflows including code reviews, version control (Git/GitLab), and task planningRequired QualificationsBachelor 's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field from an accredited college or universityMinimum of 7 years of professional software development experience with a significant focus on modeling and simulationProficiency in C++ and/or Rust for performance-sensitive simulation developmentExperience developing models of real-world physical or military systems (e.g., radar, guidance systems, flight dynamics, or C2)Ability to work independently, manage assigned tasks, and deliver quality software with minimal supervisionExperience with version control systems (Git/GitLab)Familiarity with Agile development practicesPreferred QualificationsExperience in Air and Missile Defense, Long Range Fires, or related defense domainsFamiliarity with DoD M&S frameworks, standards, or simulation architectures (e.g., DIS, HLA, AFSIM, OneSAF, or similar)Understanding of radar phenomenology, C2 architectures, or 6-DOF/3-DOF flight modelingActive security clearance or ability to obtain one
