Flight Safety Defense Corporation is gearing to become a recognized integration partner and solution provider for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy in the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) and Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) ecosystem. The JSE Lead API Developer is a key hands-on contributor within the JSE/SCARS line of efforts, working under the guidance of the JSE Architect and Project Lead to implement, test, and verify JSE/SCARS-compliant software and interfaces across Flight Safety's Weapon System Trainer (WST) and Training Systems portfolio.

This role is well suited for a developer with a solid foundation in simulation software development who is ready to deepen their expertise in government simulation standards and distributed synthetic environments.

The JSE Lead API Developer integrates software/simulation components that connect Flight Safety training devices to the JSE via the Global Reusable Interface Domain (GRID) network protocol. This includes implementing message production and consumption logic using the Government Simulation Interface (GSI) Software Development Kit (SDK), and verifying correct integration against the GSI Interface Control Document (ICD). The developer executes the GSI test harness suite of service active tests and supports Wireshark packet capture (.pcap)

file parsing to validate data flow between the simulator and GRID services.

The developer supports SCARS compliance activities, including applying On Premise Equipment (OPE) integration standards under the SCARS Architecture Standard, Increment 5, and contributing to verification activities for common aerodynamic models (Equations of Motion, Forces and Moments, and Mass Properties). The developer participates in Requirements Verification Report (RVR) activities and maintains traceability between implementation work and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs).

The JSE Lead API Developer contributes to the implementation and operation of the internal JSE/SCARS integration lab — both virtual and classified, as required — and supports Dev Sec Ops  pipeline activities for JSE/SCARS-related software deliverables, including version control, automated testing, and documentation in compliance with the SCARS Dev Sec Ops  Process Standard. The developer also supports the application of cybersecurity controls in accordance with the SCARS Common Security Controls Standard and coordinates with the cybersecurity team on Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance activities.

The developer works closely with the JSE/SCARS architects to interpret SCARS and JSE documentation, implement design patterns, and document integration results.
