Computer Engineer III

Engineer, Computer III (EC3): AFORGE is seeking an experienced EC3 to provide senior analytical-modeling, functional-simulation, and computer-engineering expertise to NSWC Crane Code GXP and SSP. This Key Personnel position develops and integrates analytical models and real-time simulations that enable system-of-systems evaluation, requirements verification, design assessment, and informed technical decisions for Strategic Weapon System programs.

Clearance: Active Secret at time of award; must remain eligible for Top Secret/SCI

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, integrate, test, and maintain analytical models, functional simulations, and real-time simulation capabilities using MATLAB, Simulink, and related engineering tools.
• Integrate subsystem and functional models into system-of-systems simulation environments supporting SSP engineering, acquisition, verification, and modernization decisions.
• Translate system requirements, interfaces, operational concepts, and engineering data into executable models and simulation architectures.
• Plan and conduct model verification, validation, and accreditation activities; document assumptions, interfaces, limitations, test results, and configuration baselines.
• Analyze outputs from simulation events, hardware-in-the-loop tests, software-in-the-loop tests, and other system-level test events to assess requirements satisfaction and technical performance.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, modelers, software developers, NSWC Crane technical branches, SSP offices, and prime contractors to integrate current and future architecture models and simulations.
• Research and apply new computer, software, networking, modeling, and simulation technologies to improve analytical fidelity, interoperability, automation, and repeatability.
• Support configuration management and change control for source code, model files, interfaces, technical documentation, and released simulation products.
• Prepare technical reports, briefings, model demonstrations, and recommendations for engineering reviews, working groups, and program decision forums.

• Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Mathematics with a concentration in computer science.
• At least seven years of professional experience in computer design, software development, or computer networks.
• Demonstrated experience developing analytical models and functional simulations using MATLAB, Simulink, and real-time simulation technologies.
• Active U.S. Government Secret clearance at the time of award and ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI clearance.
• Ability to perform onsite at NSWC Crane and work effectively across engineering, software, test, and program stakeholder organizations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master of Science in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Systems Engineering.
• Ten or more years of relevant professional experience.
• Experience developing and integrating analytical models and functional simulations into a system-of-systems simulation environment.
• Ship or submarine program experience, especially with Navy or SSP mission systems.
