Code Metal

Simulation Engineer (Modeling & Simulation)

Remote (Remote)fulltimemidAdded yesterday

About this role

Code Metal seeks a Simulation Engineer to design and build mission-critical defense simulations using C++ and Python. You'll develop discrete-event and agent-based simulation frameworks, physics models, and cloud-distributed evaluation environments that help the DoD explore force-design decisions before real-world commitment.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement mission- and campaign-level simulations in C++ and Python with event scheduling, state management, and deterministic replay
  • Build and extend discrete-event, agent-based, and constructive simulation frameworks, including platform abstractions and scenario execution pipelines
  • Develop models for weapons, sensors, communications, electronic warfare, command & control, logistics, and environmental effects
  • Create scenario-generation, Monte Carlo, sensitivity-analysis, and campaign-execution workflows with verification and validation practices
  • Scale simulations across developer workstations, on-premises, and cloud infrastructure while maintaining reproducibility
  • Collaborate with government, Air Force, and DoD stakeholders to translate operational requirements into maintainable software models

What they're looking for

  • C++ (production-level, modern standards)
  • Python (scripting, tooling, orchestration)
  • Discrete-event and agent-based simulation architectures
  • Software architecture and API design
  • Simulation framework development and extension (plugins, SDKs)
  • Physics modeling and real-world abstraction
  • Cloud and distributed systems
  • Testing, debugging, and performance engineering
