## About the Role

* 2+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on backend, highperformance, or systemslevel software.
 * Advanced proficiency in Python, C++, and/or Rust, with demonstrated experience building highperformance or lowlatency services
 * Experience developing realtime or near-realtime processing pipelines, including deterministic execution, concurrency models, and multithreaded or multiprocess architectures.
 * Strong understanding of GPUaccelerated computation (CUDA, GPU kernels, or heterogeneous compute architectures)
 * Experience implementing scalable Monte Carlo Analysis, evolutionary algorithms or largescale statistical simulation pipelines
 * Expertise in networking and realtime data transport, including UDP/TCP, Pub/Sub, binary serialization formats, highthroughput messaging, and protocols for distributed simulation.
 * Experience designing and implementing GraphQL and REST APIs, including schema design, datalayer integration, and crossservice contract management.
 * Experience working with knowledge graph or graphcentric architectures, ideally Neo4j/DGraph/ArangoDB or similar technologies, supporting large scale data management for use in physics based simulation workflows.
 * Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, and engineering rigor appropriate for aerospace/defense environments.
 * U.S. Citizen; eligible for DoD Secret or TS/SCI clearance.

Desired Skills

 * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
 * Experience building realtime simulation engines, physicsbased modeling tools, or digital engineering infrastructure.
 * Strong familiarity with GPU computing (CUDA, Vulkan compute, OpenCL, HIP) and optimizing heterogeneous pipelines across CPU-GPU boundaries.
 * Experience with distributed computation frameworks, job orchestration, or largescale Monte Carlo automation pipelines.
 * Experience in highintegrity or regulated domains (aerospace, defense, robotics), including security, compliance, or realtime mission system constraints.
 * Background in numerical simulation of spacecraft, vehicles, or sensor systems (orbital mechanics, RF propagation, structural/thermal models).
 * Experience optimizing data ingestion and processing architectures for highrate sensor or telemetry data
 * Experience developing tools or libraries used by multiple engineering teams
 * Strong communication skills and demonstrated ability to work with systems engineers, analysts, and modeling experts.
 * Ability to support integration, testing, and operational validation of simulations with hardware or mission data.
