Torch Technologies is seeking an experienced Mid-Level Modeling & Simulation Software Engineer to join the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Simulation (IAMDSIM) software development team.

This role involves the design, development, and integration of various real-time and digital simulation models into a larger distributed system of systems simulation. The IAMDSIM software development team works on software for the full lifecycle of the simulation, including pre-processing scripts, integration of tactical and development of supporting simulation models, and development of post-processing data analysis libraries. The ideal candidate will possess strong software-development experience and proficiency in Java, C++, Python, Git, and Docker/Podman container technologies.

This individual will work closely with engineers and technical personnel to develop and maintain modeling and simulation infrastructure; integrate missile defense component models into larger simulation environments; and support the verification, validation, analysis, and delivery of reliable simulation products. The ideal candidate will also possess excellent communications skills, both oral and written, and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
