Software Engineer 1
Software Engineering position in support of the Ground Based Mid-Course Defense (GMD) Development and Sustainment Contract (DSC) Program's System Simulation team. The successful candidate will support the development of new tools and processes in the GMD Modeling and Simulation organization, review process performance and process improvements for new verification methodologies, define and reviews requirements for Modeling and Simulation tool development, support peer reviews of tool development products and System
Level Simulation product and component level models, support the deployment of new tools and processes, support the definition of Modeling and Simulation requirements, and develop Modeling and Simulation tools and processes. Develop solutions to problems related to requirements. Participate in the development and documentation of Modeling and Simulation system architectures. Evaluate, analyze, and trace critical elements of the system architecture. Requires the ability to independently develop and execute one or more technical planning and control activities to ensure the Modeling and Simulation program management has program status and decision data in place. Support Modeling and Simulation integration and verification efforts through the production of test procedures and serves as a test conductor during verification activities. Requires frequent interaction and close coordination between Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). Works under close supervision.
Requires travel to Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) in Colorado Spring, CO.
Competencies
General• Adaptability
Tries to understand changes in work-group tasks, situations, and the department as well as the logic or basis for change; occasionally seeks information about changes affecting their individual job. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to fellow work group members. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors.
• Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. With guidance from others frames messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; tries to use terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Occasionally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; tries to present message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Interprets messages from others and responds appropriately; at times requires guidance from others on how to respond.
• Work Standards
Strives to achieve a high level of quality, productivity of service based on criteria established by direct supervisor. Dedicates required time and energy to assignments or tasks to ensure that no aspect of the work is neglected; works to overcome obstacles to completing tasks or assignments. Accepts responsibility for outcomes of one's work; admits mistakes and refocuses efforts when appropriate.
Technical• Analytical Skills
Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources.
• Languages & Databases
Basic familiarity with software programming languages and databases and the ability to apply to the software domain. Programming languages encompass higher order languages, auto-coded languages and assembly languages.
• Software Development Tools
Basic familiarity with general and software development and testing tools, capability and usage. Examples include compilers, linkers, debuggers, data analysis tools, graphical user interface builders, post processing tools, requirements management tools, and web authoring tools.
Basic Qualifications For ConsiderationDo you have experience with Modeling and Simulation tools such as MATLAB?
Are you willing to travel up to 25% of the time (if required)?
Typical Education/Experience
Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
