National Security Solutions (NSS) - Software Developer Intern

Title:

Project Overview

KBR is seeking a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER INTERN to support our Autonomy Modeling and Simulation Team for KBR’s Air Force Programs Business Unit.

The purpose of this project is to support an effort seeking to transform the Government Autonomy and Modeling simulation Environment (GAME) simulation software into a more intuitive and accessible tool for users. Demand for the use of the KBR’s autonomy modeling and simulation environment is increasing with current and potential stakeholders with demand signals emerging from additional internal USAF users as well as international partners such as the Netherlands and Royal Australian Air Force. The project stands to benefit current and potential customers with lower long-term maintenance and redesign costs, thus increasing their return on investment. Improving the usability of the GAME simulation software stands to competitively differentiate the software, thus potentially enhancing market competitiveness, contract conversion rates, and client retention.
