About Nexus Digital Engineering
Nexus Digital Engineering helps government and commercial organizations optimize complex, software-centric systems to reduce costs while maintaining performance.
Our approach builds on Dr. Tom Booth’s PhD research at Colorado State University, including the YAMM model-based systems engineering methodology and Unified Modeling Approach (UMA). We provide consulting, SysML models, automated processes, training, and ongoing software support to help customers make informed performance and cost decisions.
About the Role
We are seeking a mid- to senior-level Software Developer to work alongside systems engineers, software developers, and data analysts.
You will develop software that collects system data and metadata, processes information, builds numerical models, and enables systems engineering simulations. Your work will help customers compare architecture alternatives and understand the trade-offs between performance, capability, security, and cost.
This role includes developing simulation infrastructure, customer-facing interfaces, and dashboards that turn complex analysis into useful information.
Key Responsibilities
Apply YAMM and UMA to help customers evaluate systems and reduce costs.
Develop software that captures existing networks as a knowledge graph.
Support systems engineers in creating SysML models.
Build software that enables system trade studies using the Unified Model.
