Title:
Software Engineer (Hybrid)
BELONG. CONNECT. GROW. with KBR.
Around here, we define the future. We are a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers. But we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely.
KBR is seeking a Software Engineer to support our NASA Aeronautics Research Technology and Simulation (ARTS) Program for KBR’s Science and Space division. The purpose of ARTS Program is to provide mission critical support for researchers with high-fidelity environments to conduct simulated flight and Air Traffic Management (ATM) research and advance the state-of-the-art simulation technology. Researchers use the facilities to investigate a variety of topics ranging from the design of new aircraft guidance and control systems to the human factors implications of new or existing flight deck displays, airspace operations, air traffic control and automation. The simulation facilities are used by NASA programs, other NASA Centers, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Defense (DOD), National transportation Safety Board (NTSB), other government organizations, industry, and universities. To aid in maintaining and enhancing these complex IT systems, the Software Engineer will utilize Object Oriented Design (ODD) to develop and maintain real-time synchronous aircraft and spacecraft simulation solutions in C++ running under Linux.
The work will be performed at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
The Software Engineer will be responsible for:
- Designing, developing, testing, and maintaining customized software systems and applications to address individual researcher needs for data collection, fusion, and processing.
- Documenting design decisions, write comments in code, and contribute to related software deliverables
- Conducting software testing and documenting results
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to understand requirements, provide technical solutions, and ensure the software meets quality standards and technical requirements
- Performing problem solving to find solutions to issues and adapting solutions to changing scenarios
REQUIRED EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:
- Education: Must have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science
- 6 years of experience in Object Oriented Design (OOD) and development of high fidelity, man-in-the-loop, real-time synchronous aircraft and spacecraft simulations
- Deadline and detail-oriented
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
- Excellent problem solving, communications, and organizational skills
- Experience creating and driving best practices in software development workflows (git, jira, etc.)
PREFERRED EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:
- Prior experience supporting a NASA contract
- Knowledge of NASA’s IT security requirements
- Experience in OOD in C++ running under Linux, and a strong background in math or physics
- Elements of Cloud Computing and Amazon Web Services
- Big Data experience
- Experience with Rational Rose, Jira, Agile software development, C++ development under Windows, visual database development and modification, OpenGL, Java, Python, OpenFlight, or GTK 3.0 would be beneficial.
- Strong knowledge of the Anaconda Data Science Platform
- Interest in enhancing knowledge and skills in AI, cloud and other developing technologies
