Title:
Software Engineer (Hybrid)
BELONG. CONNECT. GROW. with KBR.
Around here, we define the future. We are a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers. But we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely.
KBR is seeking a Software Engineer to support our NASA Aeronautics Research Technology and Simulation (ARTS) Program for KBR's Science and Space division. The purpose of ARTS Program is to provide mission critical support for researchers with high-fidelity environments to conduct simulated flight and Air Traffic Management (ATM) research and advance the state-of-the-art simulation technology. Researchers use the facilities to investigate a variety of topics ranging from the design of new aircraft guidance and control systems to the human factors implications of new or existing flight deck displays, airspace operations, air traffic control and automation. The simulation facilities are used by NASA programs, other NASA Centers, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Defense (DOD), National transportation Safety Board (NTSB), other government organizations, industry, and universities. To aid in maintaining and enhancing these complex IT systems, the Software Engineer will utilize Object Oriented Design (ODD) to develop and maintain real-time synchronous aircraft and spacecraft simulation solutions in C++ running under Linux.
The work will be performed at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
The Software Engineer will be responsible for:
