Simulation Engineer - Ts/sci Required

Simulation Engineer

The Mission Solutions Business Area at Leidos has an opening for a Simulation Engineer in Reston, Virginia. The primary focus of the work is systems simulation related to reverse engineering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) related facilities. Candidate must bring a creative, yet sound, approach to identifying and solving challenges where all the information desired is inherently unavailable and have exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to thoroughness. The successful candidate will work as a member of an interdisciplinary team of government and contractor personnel. Work will be performed in a fast-paced, high-energy environment within a government facility.

Role and Responsibility:

The candidate shall perform:

• Design, develop, evaluate, validate, verify, analyze critical infrastructure related simulations (e.g. electric power, HVAC, building control systems) to understand their interactions and to uncover vulnerabilities. Simulation types include: system of systems simulations, distributed simulations, and object-oriented simulations
• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable codes and models
• Collaborate with teams of engineers and developers, participating in regular code reviews
• Perform integration testing as well as collaborating with other internal teams
• Communicate with project customers or end users to fully understand, plan, and implement feedback and feature requests

Required Education, Clearance, Skills, and Experience:

• Candidate MUST possess an active TS/SCI, or a Top Secret clearance with a current SSBI, and be eligible to obtain a TS/SCI w/ poly level clearance. US Citizenship is REQUIRED.
• BS degree and 8+ years of prior relevant experience or MS with 6+ years of prior relevant experience.
• Must have a degree in simulation engineering, systems engineering, data science, operations research or a related field
• Experience with system of systems modeling and simulation

Preferred Qualifications:

• Working knowledge of MATLAB, VENTSIM, COLE, or SCEPTRE software
• Working knowledge of heating and ventilation systems, thermodynamics and airflow, electric power systems, industrial, building, or process control systems.
• Professional experience in Unity, Unreal, or other 3D development.
• Working knowledge of REACT, JavaScript, Python, C++, C#.
• Knowledge of Scrum/Agile development framework.
• Experience working with cloud computing platforms such as AWS.
• Experience with implementing and maintaining unit testing.
• Proficiency with Git or comparable version control system.
• Knowledge of 3D modeling software (Blender, Maya, etc.) and ability to manipulate 3D geometry.
• Familiarity with applications being deployed to build AR/VR environments and applications such as Unity 3D and Visual Studio.
• DevSecOps experience
• Machine Learning experience

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.
