Model and Simulation Software Engineer - Booz Allen Hamilton

The Opportunity:

You will play a critical role in advancing our Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities by designing, developing, and integrating AI‑enabled models that support complex wargaming and operational decision‑making for the DoW. Using core software engineering principles, you’ll build scalable simulation components, create realistic behavioral and environmental models, and integrate diverse data sources to drive high‑fidelity outcomes. You’ll collaborate closely with analysts, domain experts, and other engineers to ensure that models accurately represent real‑world conditions and evolving mission needs.

As part of this effort, you’ll apply full‑stack engineering skills to shape the technical vision for next‑generation M&S systems by evaluating new frameworks, enhancing simulation performance, and implementing architectures that support future extensibility. Your contributions will directly influence how clients explore scenarios, assess alternatives, and derive insights from complex simulation environments.

Join us. The world can't wait.
