About the job
Are you an ambitious professional with a university background in exact or social sciences? Are you seeking a challenging role that allows you to merge your knowledge with innovation, collaboration, and personal growth? Do you get excited about working together on training and simulation to tackle complex operational issues and conduct research with a young and diverse team? If so, we want to hear from you!
What will you do?
As an R&D Engineer in Operational Simulation, you will solve complex military operational questions by applying simulation techniques. This includes areas such as decision-making in logistics chains, planning and prediction problems, wargaming, and smart optimizations in intricate socio-technical systems. You will leverage your knowledge of system sciences to deconstruct these multifaceted questions and make them applicable within simulations. You will blend data and models, build simulations, and collaborate on how these can be used for both research and practical applications in military operations. You will bridge the realm of operational questions in the defense and security sector with the world of simulation applications.
Your responsibilities include:
Contributing to generating insights about the functioning of large-scale military operations, leading to simulation-based tools that enhance decision-making regarding processes and military actions;
Collaborating with colleagues to analyze stakeholder needs and research to develop knowledge, skills, and tools that make a practical impact on military operations;
Representing NLR to the outside world by contributing to workshops and conferences;
Working alongside colleagues from other disciplines within the department, such as AI and Humans and Intelligent Systems, as well as other departments like Defense Operations.
Simulations and related activities are complex systems in their own right, where a multitude of technologies converge, such as Discrete Event Simulation, ...
