Senior Software Engineer, Distributed Simulation (C++) joins the Software Integration Environment team to build the simulation layer of a platform used for testing software in realistic conditions. This systems software role involves designing and building C++ services that federate independent simulators into a single shared world with common clocks and entity namespaces. The engineer will develop wire layers for protocol encoding, ensure simulation determinism, create scenario authoring tools, and manage content catalogs. Key responsibilities include optimizing performance for high-entity counts and integrating with Go services via gRPC/protobuf APIs. Candidates must possess deep expertise in modern C++ (C++17+), multithreading, memory management, and networking protocols like UDP/TCP. The role addresses the complex challenge of creating a unified environment where heterogeneous simulators from different vendors can interact reliably within a shared, reproducible simulation framework.
