Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to support the U.S. Army Aviation Future Capability Directorate (A-FCD).

This individual will support the development, execution, and analysis of advanced modeling and simulation efforts supporting Army Aviation modernization, capability development, force design, experimentation, and requirements analysis.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong software development background, with C++ as the primary programming language, along with significant experience developing or modifying military simulation environments.

This person will work alongside Army Aviation subject matter experts, engineers, and analysts to translate operational challenges and future capability requirements into simulation-based analyses that inform Army decision-making.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, modify, integrate, and execute models within military modeling and simulation environments.
• Use C++ as a primary development language to support simulation development, integration, customization, and modeling efforts.
• Develop and execute mission-level simulation scenarios supporting capability assessments and requirements development.
• Support military simulations such as AFSIM, VR-Forces, NGTS, EADSIM, ITASE, OneSAF, JSAF, or comparable simulation environments.
• Utilize Python and other scripting solutions for simulation support, automation, data processing, and statistical analysis.
• Model and analyze military systems and operational scenarios involving aviation and other relevant mission capabilities.
• Conduct quantitative analyses to evaluate alternative capabilities, force structures, mission concepts, and system configurations.
• Collaborate with Army Aviation SMEs, engineers, and analysts to translate operational concepts and mission requirements into executable simulation environments.
• Support verification, validation, and quality assurance activities to ensure model accuracy and reliability.
• Document analytical methodologies, assumptions, source data, model configurations, and results.
• Create technical reports, briefings, and presentations for government stakeholders.
• Present modeling, simulation, and analytical findings to technical and operational audiences.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior modeling and analytical personnel.

Compensation:

$115,000.00 to $120,000.00 per year annual salary.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
