BlueHalo is seeking a Jr., Mid. or Sr. level Engineer/Scientist with experience performing real-time simulation and scene image generation programming to work in real-time hardware-in-the-loop missile and sensor simulation and test laboratories. 

The person filling the position will work with a diverse team of HW, SW, and operational testers to develop software that will be used to stimulate EO/IR sensor systems, to include planning, executing, and analyzing real-time test results from test events and experiments involving newly developed/evolving sensor systems, and external / lab interfaces in a virtual test environment.

This position prefers a Jr. to Sr. level engineer/scientist with experience performing real-time simulation and scene image generation programming to work in real-time hardware-in-the-loop missile and sensor simulation and test laboratories.  

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate should be proficient in programming in the C/C++ language for time-critical real-time simulation applications and should have some experience in the following areas:

• 3D scene image generation using OpenGL, Open Scene Graph (OSG) and/or GLSL software
• Programming of General Purpose Graphical Programming Units (GPGPUs) using CUDA or OpenCL
• Electro-Optical sensor design, simulation, or stimulation
• Multi-spectral physics-based scene phenomenology in primarily the visible, IR and UV wavebands
• Parallel programming using advanced high-performance architectures
• Oral, written, and presentation communication skills are essential. 

Education and Experience:

• BS Degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics or physics. A minimum of 3 years or more of professional experience is preferred but not required.

Work Schedule and Location: Work will primarily be performed at the S3I Directorate during the normal M-F work week between the hours of 0800 and 1700.  Some flexibility in work schedule can be accommodated; some after-hours and weekend work might be required.  Occasional travel might be required.

Supervisory Responsibilities: This job has no supervisory responsibilities. 

Security Clearance:  Applicants must currently hold (or be able to obtain within reasonable time) a DoD security clearance at the Secret level.

Work Environment:  The HWIL work is performed primarily in an office or lab environment with adequate environmental (heating/cooling) control.  The noise level in the lab work environment will be moderate due to noises associated with computer equipment, equipment racks, and environmental control systems.
