MTSI is seeking an experienced Software Developer to support the U.S. Navy’s Advanced Threat Engineering Program (ATEP) with advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis efforts for multi-domain sensors and weapon systems. This position plays a critical role in the development of high‑fidelity, C++‑based simulation environments used to evaluate aircraft, missile, and sensor performance in support of Navy mission objectives.

As part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, the developer will contribute to the design, implementation, integration, and sustainment of complex software architectures that enable next‑generation test capabilities across the fleet.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize C++ modeling and simulation software for multi‑domain, high-threat combat environments.
• Implement object‑oriented architectures that accurately represent aircraft, missile, and sensor system behavior.
• Collaborate closely with project managers, system engineers, and technical leads to define technical roadmaps, development milestones, and long‑term product strategies.
• Participate actively in Agile development workflows, including sprint planning, peer reviews, and iterative release cycles.
• Apply DevSecOps principles to ensure secure, maintainable, and scalable development and deployment practices.
• Develop, update, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including system specifications, design artifacts, test plans, and user manuals.
• Support verification and validation activities to ensure model accuracy and performance fidelity.
• Integrate simulation components into larger system‑of‑systems environments and perform troubleshooting and performance tuning as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Active Secret clearance required at the time of hire.
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• 7+ years of experience developing multi-domain DoD modeling and simulation software.
• Demonstrated experience developing high‑fidelity models for aircraft, missile, and sensor systems.
• Strong proficiency in object-oriented principles.
• Advanced hands‑on experience building, debugging, and testing C++ applications in a high‑performance environment.
• Willingness to collaborate with project managers and technical leads to build roadmaps for product development.
• Desire and ability to function in an Agile team environment.
• Knowledge of DevSecOps methodologies and secure software development best practices.
• Ability to develop and maintain detailed product documentation.

Desired Qualifications

• Top Secret clearance preferred
• Prior experience developing weapon system models, including kinetic and non‑kinetic engagements.
• Familiarity with sensor technologies such as EO/IR imaging systems and radar.
• Intermediate proficiency with Python and MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, or model validation.
• Master’s degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering).
