Program Overview

About The Role

Overview:

Peraton is seeking a skilled Software Developer to join our Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) team. In this critical role, you will support the development, integration, and testing of advanced threat missile and radar simulation models used in high-fidelity defense simulations. This position provides the opportunity to directly impact national security by delivering realistic and validated models for mission-critical environments.

**Experience with C++ and MatLab/Simulink. Familiar with the AGILE process, with tools like JIRA, GitLab etc. and ability to write efficient code required**.

What You'll Do:

• Design and implement high-fidelity threat missile and radar simulation models that replicate real-world systems and behaviors.
• Enhance and maintain existing models using advanced modeling and simulation tools in alignment with the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) delivery schedule.
• Integrate threat models into the JSE simulation architecture, performing thorough integration and regression testing to ensure operational performance and reliability.
• Analyze simulation outputs, validate models against empirical data, and refine systems for improved realism and predictive accuracy.
• Utilize technical data packages and intelligence sources to inform model development and contribute to test planning and execution.

Qualifications

Minimum of 8 years with BS/BA; Minimum of 6 years with MS/MA; Minimum of 3 years with PhD
