Northrop Grumman is currently looking for an experienced Modeling & Simulation Software Engineer 3 with a strong background in C++.
Job Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will primarily assist with developing and updating our C++ based simulations of the AARGM family of missiles and integrating these missiles into a system of simulations. The candidate must also be able to use our simulations to support live fire testing and to assist with verifying the weapon system with our simulations. The candidate will be participating in a fundamental overhaul of much of our simulation infrastructure, and in fundamental changes to how we use our simulations within our organization. Our modeling and simulation team is a multidisciplinary team in which each member may have opportunities to work in software development, systems engineering, model and algorithm development, and various types of analysis. The group is an excellent place for engineers interested in gaining a broad understanding of a missile system.
