About the role
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory seeks an engineer to turn mission-level simulation into decision-ready software. You will split time between developing C++ modeling capabilities and Python tooling, and performing research to ground simulations in real-world behaviors. You will analyze outputs to evaluate utility and inform requirements, translating analyst needs into modeling tasks while collaborating with developers and end-users. A security clearance is required.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
