Position Summary
We are seeking a Mid-Level Software Engineer to contribute to the development of the Multimode Threat Engagement Simulation Platform under the technical direction of the Lead and Senior Staff Engineers. You will build features across the stack - backend physics API endpoints in Julia, React/TypeScript UI components, and Cesium map view integrations - while growing your expertise in high-performance scientific computing and defense mission engineering applications.
This role is an opportunity to develop real depth in an intersection of disciplines that is rarely available at early career: scientific computing with Julia, 3D geospatial visualization with CesiumJS, and the physics of aerospace and defense sensor systems. You do not need to arrive with domain knowledge - you will acquire it through hands-on work alongside domain experts and through structured mentorship from the Lead Engineer. What you do need is a solid programming foundation, genuine curiosity about computational physics, and the ability to write clear, tested, maintainable code.
Contingent upon contract award
Responsibilities
Backend Development
Implement and test Julia HTTP API endpoints for mission data CRUD operations, trajectory query routing, and physics result serialization
Write Julia utility functions for data format conversion: GeoJSON, CZML, mission JSON schema parsing and generation
Assist with Monte Carlo driver implementation: input parameter perturbation, result aggregation, and statistical output computation (CEP, R95, Pk distribution)
Write unit and integration tests for computation backend endpoints; validate API response schemas against the frontend contract
Maintain and extend the mission data serialization layer: add new asset @types, task attributes, and output fields while preserving backward compatibility with existing save files
Frontend Development
Build and maintain React/TypeScript components for the mission planning UI: forms for asset creation and editing, task assignment dialogs, mission parameter panels, and tabbed navigation
Implement Cesium/Resium map features: add new asset marker @types, update entity styling based on mission state, and wire up click/hover interactions between the globe and the mission data panel
Consume Julia backend API endpoints from the React frontend: implement fetch calls, loading states, error handling, and result rendering for trajectory and analysis queries
Write TypeScript @type definitions for all mission data structures shared between the frontend and the Julia API
Testing and DevOps Support
Write automated tests at the component level (React Testing Library or equivalent) and integration level (API contract tests)
Assist with CI/CD pipeline maintenance: diagnose build failures on Windows and Linux targets, update dependency versions, and validate packaged installer behavior
Participate in code review: give and receive feedback on correctness, performance, and readability
Maintain technical documentation: update API reference docs, build guides, and developer setup instructions as features evolve
Contingent upon contract award
Qualifications
Citizenship: Must be a US citizen
Minimum Required Qualifications

Additional Skills**
Proficiency in at least one programming language with strong typing discipline (TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, Rust, or Julia)
Familiarity with REST API design patterns: HTTP methods, JSON request/response schemas, status codes, and client-side error handling
Working knowledge of React or equivalent component-based frontend framework, OR demonstrated experience with scientific computing / numerical methods in Python, MATLAB, Julia, or C++
Ability to write readable, tested code and iterate based on code review feedback
Preferred Qualifications
Any exposure to Julia, even through coursework, online resources, or personal projects
Familiarity with geospatial concepts: coordinate systems (WGS84, ECEF, ENU), map projections, or GIS tooling
Experience with a scientific computing environment: MATLAB, NumPy/SciPy, or equivalent
Curiosity about aerospace, defense, or mission engineering applications - you don't need to know the domain, but you should want to learn it
Experience with Electron desktop application development
