The Role
Lead the development of a cloud-distributed physics simulation environment for wargaming platforms, integrating AI algorithms and mentoring team members.
Summary Generated by Built In
Help redefine how the DoD makes multi-billion-dollar force-design decisions. In this role, you'll fuse physics-driven simulation, interactive computing, and verified AI code-generation to create next-generation wargaming platforms. We’re seeking a hands-on leader who can architect and build an extensible, cloud-distributed simulation environment, and inspire a small, high-conviction team by leading from the front.
What you’ll do- Design & implement a scalable, interactive physics simulation that runs seamlessly in cloud and on-prem clusters.
- Own the core codebase in modern C++ from multi-threaded performance tuning to continuous integration.
- Collaborate with product & AI teams to embed verified, AI-generated algorithms directly into a developer SDK for extending the platform.
- Prototype quickly, iterate faster: deliver usable capability to government end-users in weeks, not months.
- Set the engineering bar—write clean code, document rigorously, and mentor teammates through code reviews and pair programming.
- Mission with impact: your work shapes the digital battlefield models that influence real-world acquisition.
- Velocity: small teams, rapid iteration cycles, and the mandate to ship.
- Ownership: no passengers, everyone pushes code that hits production.
RequirementsMust-have credentials
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in applied math, scientific computing, physics, or a related field.
- Proven expertise in multi-threaded C++ for high-performance applications.
- Hands-on experience with large-scale, physics-based simulations.
- Active Secret clearance (or higher).
- PhD (or equivalent depth) in applied math, scientific computing, physics, or similar.
- GPU compute chops—OpenCL, CUDA, etc....
- Data oriented framework design experience like ECS.
- Prior work running physics simulations in distributed cloud environments.
- TS/SCI clearance.
Benefits
- Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision.
- 401k with 5% matching.
- Paid Time Off (Uncapped Vacation, plus Sick & Public Holidays).
- Flexible hybrid work arrangement.
- Relocation assistance for qualifying employees.
