Jobs at ATCSI (Now Hiring) — 2 open

Description

POSITION IS CONTINGENT UPON CONTRACT AWARD

We are seeking a highly skilled Computer Engineer with a strong specialization in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) to support NAWCAD WOLF’s Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATC&LS) Division based out of Patuxent River, MD. In this role, you will perform hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulation engineering, model complex multi-sensor radar data processing networks, and design synthetic test environments. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that shipboard, shore-based, and expeditionary air traffic management systems seamlessly integrate into current and future Navy architectures.

Key Responsibilities

• HWIL & Simulation Architecture:  Design, configure, and maintain hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulation environments to test real-world ATC equipment, including Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), radar processors, and tactical data links.
• System Modeling: Develop and execute high-fidelity computer simulations to analyze radar propagation, sensor fusion, and airspace integration constraints for both manned and unmanned air combat vehicles.
• Interface Testing: Program and maintain custom interfaces ( drivers, digital and analog signal emulation) to bridge physical tactical hardware with simulated system environments.
• Verification & Validation (V&V):  Formulate M&S test strategies to validate system requirements, identify performance gaps, and mitigate technical obsolescence risks in legacy systems like the AN/SPN radar series.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:  Coordinate directly with government engineering leads, Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), and configuration managers to transition successful rapid prototypes from laboratory environments to fleet installations.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a highly related technical field.
• Experience: 5+ years of engineering experience with a demonstrable background in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) applications.
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency with simulation frameworks and modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Ansys, or equivalent DoD-standard M&S tools).
  • Strong understanding of hardware interfaces, network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP), serial communication, and military data bus standards (e.g., MIL-STD-1553).
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and embedded system testing environments.
• Preferred: Knowledge of Naval Air Traffic Control systems, Joint Interoperability standards, or previous experience working within an oLSI framework.
• Citizenship &  Security:
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.
