Code Metal is a B2B software company that provides verifiable code translation and automated toolchains to convert high-level research/AI code into low-level, standards-compliant, production-ready software for mission-critical systems. It combines AI-guided translation, static analysis, automated test-generation (including MCDC), formal verification, and target-specific optimization to produce traceable, safety- and compliance-checked code (C/C++, Rust, VHDL, CUDA, OpenCL, etc. ) that can be deployed across chips and embedded platforms. The platform targets defense, aerospace, automotive, semiconductor and robotics customers who need guaranteed functional equivalence, safety compliance, and chip portability.

📋 Description

• Help redefine how the DoD makes multi-billion-dollar force-design decisions. • Turn operational questions into extensible mission- and campaign-level simulations for our next-generation wargaming platforms. • Develop simulation frameworks, platform and effects models, scenario infrastructure, and evaluation workflows. • Design and implement mission- and campaign-level simulation capabilities in modern C++ and Python. • Build and extend event-driven, discrete-event, agent-based, and constructive simulation frameworks. • Own core framework functionality including event scheduling, simulation time, state transitions, platform abstractions, scenario execution, data collection, and deterministic replay. • Develop models for platforms, sensors, weapons, communications, electronic warfare, jamming, command and control, logistics, and environmental effects. • Establish verification and validation practices, reference scenarios, regression suites, and quantitative measures of model credibility. • Work directly with government, Air Force, and broader DoD stakeholders to understand acquisition questions and deliver usable capabilities quickly. • Lead design and code reviews, mentor teammates, and improve architecture, documentation, testing, and release practices.

🎯 Requirements

• Five or more years of professional software-development experience building simulation, autonomy, robotics, game-engine, digital-twin, or similarly complex systems. • Strong production experience in modern C++, with proficiency in Python for tooling, orchestration, analysis, or automation. • Hands-on experience developing or extending a simulation framework—not only configuring simulation tools or analyzing their output. • Experience with event-driven, discrete-event, agent-based, constructive, or distributed simulation architectures. • Demonstrated ability to represent complex real-world entities, interactions, rules, and edge cases as clear software abstractions. • Experience building plugins, SDKs, reusable model interfaces, framework services, platform types, or similar extension mechanisms. • Strong understanding of software architecture, data structures, algorithms, APIs, testing, debugging, and performance engineering. • Experience making substantial changes within a large existing codebase while maintaining ongoing delivery. • Experience with model verification, validation, calibration, or regression testing. • Ability to turn ambiguous operational or technical requirements into executable engineering plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document model assumptions, limitations, interfaces, and intended use. • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, operations research, physics, or a related discipline. • Active Secret clearance or eligibility to obtain one. • Strongly Preferred: Direct experience developing AFSIM plugins, framework extensions, event infrastructure, or custom platform types.

🏖️ Benefits

• Pay depends on experience, but we strive to be at the upper end of the salary range • Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision • 401k with 5% matching • Paid Time Off (uncapped vacation, plus sick and public holidays) • Flexible hybrid or remote work arrangement • Relocation assistance for qualifying employees
