Requirements

• Have built real simulations well beyond toy projects, especially with game engines such as Unreal, Unity, or Godot, including gameplay frameworks, replication, and profiling tooling.
• Write production code and bring proper software engineering practice into simulation work, including version control discipline, resolving ambiguity, and designing for the long term rather than the next demo.
• Reason fluently about the trade-off between physical fidelity and simulation throughput.
• Translate input from domain experts into models and behaviors, and know when real-world fidelity is needed and when it is expensive noise.
• Judge a simulation by what it enables rather than by whether it passes its tests, and treat a simulation that quietly misleads its users as a serious failure.

Nice to Have

• Experience with entity-component-system architectures or agent-based modeling.
• Experience with distributed simulation standards such as HLA, DIS, RPR-FOM, NETN, or FMI.
• Background in physics-heavy simulation, for example CFD, finite element methods, multi-body dynamics, or trajectory and 6DoF modeling.
• Experience with RF, electronic warfare, or radar simulation, including propagation and signal processing chains.
• Familiarity with reinforcement learning environment APIs, or with software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop validation.
• Experience with Rust, CUDA, or MATLAB and Simulink.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building and maintaining simulation platform internals: subsystem architecture, replication and multiplayer, performance profiling, and the interfaces used by other systems to orchestrate simulation.
• Composing simulated platforms from sensor, communications, situational awareness, effector, and control-loop models, and reasoning about the underlying physics such as flight dynamics, rigid-body behavior, collision, and line of sight.
• Owning the trade-off between fidelity, throughput, and engineering cost, choosing the right point for each use case and validating the result against subject matter experts, integration tests, or downstream outcomes.
• Integrating 3D models, animations, and effects from Content Engineers into the simulation.
• Investigating simulation bugs to bridge the gap from the simulation to a reference model.
