CWMD Computer Programming SME (M&S) (8658)

LOCATION: NCR Pentagon/Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling

STATUS: Contingent

TRAVEL: Up to 10%

CLEARANCE: Top Secret with SCI eligibility

BENEFITS: 401K Life/Health/ Dental/Disability Insurance Flexible Paid Leave and Tuition ReimbursementDESCRIPTION: PE is seeking a highly skilled Software Programmer (Algorithm Developer) with experience in Python C and Visual Basic to serve as the primary CWMD modeler-and Nuclear Effects modeler when required-for advanced modeling and simulation efforts. The selected candidate will design develop and refine computational models that characterize chemical biological radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agent behaviors their operational impacts and their integration into complex air operations environments.

Primary duties will include (but not limited to):

• Serve as the lead modeler for CWMD and nuclear effects developing and maintaining models that simulate chemical biological radiological and nuclear agent effects attributes and behaviors across diverse operational scenarios.
• Build and refine models that incorporate environmental variables (e.g. weather patterns temperature humidity terrain atmospheric stability) and assess their influence on agent dispersion persistence degradation and operational risk.
• Incorporate scientific datasets test results intelligence inputs and operational parameters into modeling frameworks to ensure accuracy realism and defensibility.
• Translate complex scientific and operational data into computational logic algorithms and simulation modules.
• Develop test and optimize software tools scripts and modeling applications using Python C and Visual Basic.
• Implement modular scalable code that supports iterative model refinement and integration with existing DoD modeling and simulation environments.
• Collaborate with system engineers analysts and operators to ensure models interface correctly with broader mission planning decision support and operational assessment tools.
• Work directly with government customers to refine modeling requirements interpret results and support briefings or technical discussions.
• Produce clear defensible documentation including model descriptions assumptions limitations validation summaries and user guides.
• Support rapidturn modeling requests and emerging operational needs.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:

• Demonstrated experience in software development including: Programming in Python C and/or Visual Basic; developing algorithms simulations or analytical tools; debugging testing and optimizing code for performance and accuracy.
• Foundational understanding of: network development and operations; communications and control systems; systems engineering principles.
• Knowledge of aircraft and satellite communications systems including: system architecture and integration; cybersecurity considerations for mission systems.

EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelors degree and 10 years of relevant experience OR Associates degree and 13 years of experience OR High School diploma and 16 years of experience.
