Associate Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Department Summary:

Our team builds extensible, scalable, real-time distributed simulation capabilities used primarily for developing and accessing transportation concepts. We are looking for someone eager to apply their software development and computer science skills in a dynamic research environment supporting the Immersion Discovery Lab, Simulation, Experimentation and Analytics Lab (SEAL), and Integration Demonstration and Experimentation for Aviation (IDEA) Lab. These labs are extensible, scalable, real-time distributed simulation environments based on an open, layered architecture. They bring together a broad set of integrated capabilities for human-in-the-loop simulations, demonstrations, and immersive visualizations. They are environments capable of handling a range of exploratory concepts, while also being realistic enough to provide a high-quality user experience. This includes the use of mixed reality, rapid prototyping, accelerated computing and the use of generative artificial intelligence.
