Programmer/Software Developer (Simulation system)
Clearance & Environment
This is high-security defence work, so candidates must:
- Hold Top Secret (SIGINT) clearance
Work Location: Ottawa, ON
Role Summary
This role supports the software side of the simulation ecosystem, enabling the modelling environment to function, process data, and run experiments.
Key Requirements
Mandatory experience:
5 years as a Programmer / Software Developer
4 years (last 10) in:
- C or other object-oriented programming
2 years (last 10):
- Distributed systems/applications
Technical profile:
