As a Simulation Software Engineer with the Hivemind Design (HMD) Department, you will be responsible for several simulation environments that support the development and implementation of autonomous behavior on Group 3 and Group 5 unmanned aircraft. You will be an integral to definition of sensor capabilities, image rendering, environmental conditions, and integrated EO/IR based simulated payloads on simulated platforms. The simulation environment you support will directly interact (through interfaces you create and maintain) with the autonomy and ground control station for VBATs and other platforms. As a Simulation Engineer you will ensure compliance with DoD and Industry standards (to include DIS and CIGI).
About our simulation environment - The HMD Simulation environment is multipurpose and written in the same stack as our autonomy environment. It utilizes Unreal Engine 5 for high fidelity visualization, Diligent Engine for low fidelity visualization, and integrates with DoD M&S products AFSIM and NGTS. The environment promotes modularity with simulation blocks, interface blocks, and a common scenario format.
What You'll Do:
Improve and maintain existing Hivemind Design Simulation Environment
Support packaging of final product to internal and external customers for training and testing
Driving technical design and integration of new simulated payloads as they become required for platform testing
Work on a team of 6-10 other software engineers on advancing features for the HMD simulation product
Support extensibility of simulation environment through well defined interfaces provided by government and business customers
