Software Engineer

Description:

Does simulating reality in a computer appeal to you? Do you enjoy finding the right abstraction in software? Are you passionate about developing the best software solutions to support the modern war-fighter in meeting our greatest national security challenges? Are you searching for engaging work with an employer that prioritizes impact, innovation, and personal development? Do you value working in a creative, collaborative, and diverse environment? If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

The Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (A1C) Group needs a self-starting entry-level software engineer. You will work in a team of computational physicists, analysts and other software engineers to design, implement, test and document physics simulations.

As an Entry Level Software Engineer you will...
