JT4 is hiring a Computer Scientist III for their JSE (Joint Simulation Environment) located onsite on Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

The primary purpose of this position is to provide software development related to modeling and simulation systems that support developmental and operation test and evaluation (DT&E and OT&E) test programs. These systems primarily consist of computer networks and system integration laboratories (SIL), but could also involve hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) facilities, integrating digital and analog processors, cockpit displays and controls, aircraft, weapons, environmental, and threat models, databases, and operational flight program software related to interactive man-in-the-loop battlespace environments.

The incumbent will develop software and support the verification and validation of software, models and data from avionics, sensor, EW and weapons related test of manned and unmanned modeling and simulated combat aircraft, and threat and missile systems. After analysis, results of the tests are compared with system performance, mission requirements, and test plan objectives, and the outcome is presented in the form of understandable and accurate plots, tables, and other graphic representations.
