Computer Scientist III - JSE Nelllis Afb, NV

JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges.

RANGE POSITION DESCRIPTION - ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS/JOB DUTIES

The primary purpose of this position is to provide software development related to modeling and simulation systems that support developmental and operation test and evaluation (DT&E and OT&E) test programs. These systems primarily consist of computer networks and system integration laboratories (SIL), but could also involve hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) facilities, integrating digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, aircraft, weapons, environmental, and threat models, databases, and operational flight program software related to interactive man-in-the-loop battlespace environments.

The primary duties required are those necessary to provide technical expertise in the area of software development, integration of models, armament, sensor and electronic warfare systems for a complex integrated battlespace modeling and simulation environments consisting of digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, mechanical and electrical interfaces, and operational flight program software. Must be able to integrate with civilian/military professionals engaged in software development, flight simulator development, engineering, operation, and maintenance.

The incumbent will develop software and support the verification and validation of software, models and data from avionics, sensor, EW and weapons related test of manned and unmanned modeling and simulated combat aircraft, and threat and missile systems. After analysis, results of the tests are compared with system performance, mission requirements, and test plan objectives, and the outcome is presented in the form of understandable and accurate plots, tables, and other graphic representations.

DESIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCE

• Ability to program (various languages and protocols), integrate/manipulate models and generate computer networks for virtual, live, and constructive simulation of combat aircraft avionics, armament, or electronic warfare systems. (C++, Linux, Windows, QT SQL, etc.)

• Knowledge of advanced concepts, principles, and techniques across multiple interrelated and integrated technical and test engineering disciplines applied to modeling and simulation of combat aircraft avionics, armament, or electronic warfare systems or related systems/subsystems.

• Knowledge of flight and laboratory air vehicle/missile test conduct, coordination and supervision, data analysis/evaluation and applicable flight test truth sources, modeling and simulation systems and techniques, technical report preparation, and administrative aspects of flight test programs.

• Proficient in C++, Python, Linux or similar programming languages.

• Knowledge and understanding of Windows, Linux, and any related operating systems, SQL databases.

• Knowledge with software modeling and simulation integrating one more of the following: sensors, electronic warfare systems, communication links, databases, aircraft, threat models, databases, and weapons systems.

• Knowledge with integrating software and modeling environments consisting digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, mechanical and electrical interfaces, and flight program software.

• Knowledge with testing, deployment, configuration management, and software sustainment.

• Background with coding or modeling using MIL-STD-1760 or 1553 data bus characteristics along with experience with Air to Air and Air to ground weapons.

• Coding and modeling of weapons data links and GPS characteristics.

REQUIREMENTS - EDUCATION, TECHNICAL, AND WORK EXPERIENCE

The incumbent must have a bachelor's degree in an associated discipline and at least 4 years of related experience, or a master's degree in an associated discipline and at least 2 years of experience, or a PhD in an associated discipline. Incumbent must possess effective oral and written communication skills. Must have experience with computer based systems and applications. Must have programming skills in languages used for job specific programming tasks, and familiarization with the application of industry standard hardware and software design and documentation techniques. Applicant must have experience with systems engineering and software development lifecycles. Must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance. Must be a U.S. citizen.
