SimIS Inc.
Overview
SimIS, Inc. is seeking a Senior Software Architect - Modeling & Simulation SME to lead the technical design and development of NATO's Next Generation M&S capability. This role combines advanced software architecture expertise with deep knowledge of military simulation systems to create the future of NATO's warfare simulation infrastructure. The successful candidate will architect distributed simulation environments that operate from strategic planning to tactical execution, enabling NATO forces to conduct complex multi-domain operations analysis and training. You will be the technical POC who translates operational requirements into scalable, interoperable systems using distributed computing technologies and industry-standard protocols like DIS and HLA. This position requires a unique blend of technical leadership and domain expertise. You will design high-level architectures that integrate legacy systems while building next-generation capabilities, ensuring real-time data exchange across global NATO commands. Your work will directly impact NATO\'s ability to plan, execute, and analyze military operations through advanced simulation technologies.
Responsibilities
Design and implement high-level architecture for NATO\'s next-generation M&S systems Lead DIS protocol implementation and ensure compliance with IEEE standards Architect distributed simulation environments supporting multi-location exercises Develop software components for real-time simulation interaction and data exchange Create technical specifications for system interfaces and integration points Design scalable architectures supporting political-to-tactical level simulations Implement middleware solutions for simulation interoperability Lead technical reviews of architecture designs and code implementations Develop APIs for connecting legacy systems (JCTS, JTLS) to new architecture Optimize network performance for distributed simulation environments Design data synchronization mechanisms for distributed databases Create architectural patterns for turn-based and real-time simulation modes
Technical Architecture Focus
Define enterprise-level M&S architecture standards Implement publish-subscribe patterns for distributed event handling Design fault-tolerant systems for mission-critical simulations Develop microservices architecture for modular simulation components Create containerized deployment strategies for cloud and on-premise environments
Minimum Experience Requirements (within last 5-10 years)
At least 5 years developing distributed simulation systems using DIS/HLA protocols At least 3 years designing high-level system architectures for military simulation environments Proven experience architecting systems that support real-time interaction between multiple simulation nodes Experience developing APIs and interfaces for simulation interoperability Strong background in performance optimization for large-scale distributed systems Experience with both mission-level and campaign-level simulation development BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline
Experience Desired
Experience with NATO STANAG standards for simulation Knowledge of military C4ISR systems integration Familiarity with game engines adapted for military simulation Cloud architecture experience (AWS, Azure) DevOps and CI/CD pipeline experience PMP or technical architecture certifications
Special Skills/Knowledge/Training Required/Desired
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Excellent written and verbal communication abilities Expert knowledge of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol and High Level Architecture (HLA) standards Proficiency in multiple programming languages (C++, Java, Python) Experience with simulation frameworks and middleware Strong understanding of network protocols and distributed computing Database design and data architecture experience Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously Strong attention to detail and technical accuracy
