Staff Software Engineer - Interagency Modeling & Simulation Prototype (Contingent)

Our group seeks a full-time Staff Software Engineer to help build an advanced modeling & simulation capability.

The position supports a prototype that will be delivered as part of an interagency team to the U.S.

Government.

You will be working with others as part of an interdisciplinary team where you will develop and deploy machine learning algorithms on specialized datasets across Windows and Linux environments using a containerized workflow.

As a Software Engineer on a multi-disciplinary team, you will apply your knowledge of machine learning algorithms and modeling & simulation building a prototype analysis capability for an inter-agency product development team on high-performance computers.

This is a contingent position based on future government funding.

This is a hybrid position but candidate will need to live in the National Capitol Region due to meeting responsiveness.

What you’ll do as a Software Engineer:


* You will work with other software engineers, scientists, and subject matter experts developing a critical engineering module in a larger modular system.

This specific system begins with pre-processed, sensor-based datasets and passes them to machine learning algorithms that export finished analysis to another module for further analysis and display.

Software Engineer Requirements:
