Modeling and Simulation Systems Engineer

About the role

You will play a critical role in advancing our Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities by integrating AI‑enabled models that support complex wargaming and operational decision-making for the DoD. Using core software engineering principles, you’ll support the design, development, and deployment of scalable simulation components, create realistic behavioral and environmental models, and integrate diverse data sources to drive high‑fidelity outcomes. You’ll collaborate closely with analysts, domain experts, network orchestrators, and other engineers to ensure that models accurately represent real‑world conditions and interact within evolving mission needs. As part of this effort, you’ll apply full‑stack engineering skills to shape the technical vision for next‑generation M&S systems by evaluating new frameworks, enhancing simulation performance, and implementing architectures that support future extensibility through a federation of tools. Your contributions will directly influence how clients explore scenarios, assess alternatives, and derive insights from complex simulation environments.

Requirements

• Experience with version control, documentation practices, and GitLab workflows
• Experience working in Linux environments
• Knowledge of the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) networking protocol
• Ability to write clean, efficient source code for new applications and enhance existing codebases
• Ability to support the evaluation, selection, and integration of M&S tools
• TS/SCI clearance
• HS diploma or GED

Qualifications

• Experience integrating M&S tools into synthetic training environments
• Experience working within SOF communities
• Experience building and managing containers
• Experience building DevSecOps environments or pipelines
• Knowledge of scenario development and analytical assessments of combat weapon systems using Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation tools
• Knowledge of COTS and GOTS M&S and data tools such as the Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE), Mission Object Configuration Tool (MOCT), Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG), and various Image Generators (IG) for data transformation, configuration, and standardization
• Ability to distill, summarize, and communicate complex technical insights related to model library management and dissemination

Clearance

TS/SCI clearance is required. Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Benefits

Offerings include health, life, disability, financial, and retirement benefits, as well as paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work‑life programs, and dependent care. A recognition awards program acknowledges employees for exceptional performance and superior demonstration of company values. Full‑time and part‑time employees working at least 20 hours a week on a regular basis are eligible to participate in benefit programs; individuals below that threshold are eligible for select offerings only (not inclusive of health benefits).

Pay

The projected compensation range for this position is $86,800.00 to $198,000.00 (annualized USD). Salary is determined by factors including location, education, knowledge, skills, competencies, experience, contract‑specific affordability, and organizational requirements.

Schedule

Work model varies by assignment: Remote positions may still require occasional in‑person work at a Booz Allen or customer facility; Hybrid roles expect work from a Booz Allen or customer facility aligned with leadership expectations and role needs; Onsite roles are performed full‑time at a customer facility with direct collaboration as required. Employees working virtually are generally expected to have cameras on during meetings.
