## Description

In this role you will design, implement, test, and maintain real-time software models and system-level simulators that reproduce operational conditions (i.e., simulated scenarios) to enable mission rehearsals and spacecraft operator training. This is an opportunity to create innovative solutions and support multiple software-based projects in a rapid, agile CI/CD environment using modern technologies and tools. We're looking for a skilled developer who thrives in collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams, likes to try new things, and isn't afraid of a challenge.

Position Responsibilities:

 * Review, analyze, translate, and implement customer requirements for software-based simulation products

 * Design simulation product architecture and lead implementation framework development

 * Design, Integrate, modify, test, and debug simulation models and scenarios
 * Execute full life-cycle development activities, including requirements definition and analysis, software architecture, design, coding, unit test, integration, documentation, and formal qualification.
 * Interface with a technically diverse user community and a multi-disciplined integrated product team (systems and software).
 * Develop software verification plans, test procedures and test environments.
 * Work independently and collaboratively to complete trade studies and detailed designs.
 * Lead and deliver innovative, high-impact solutions to complex technical challenges.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at El Segundo, CA
