No H1B

U.S. Citizen Only

Responsibilities

Develop a deep understanding of the simulation’s features, constraints, and emergent dynamics

Research military doctrine and commander intent to understand the expectations for how entities should behave under a broad range of circumstances

Conceptualize and design AI behavior models using HTNs, GOAP, state machines, and related decision frameworks that can express a wide range of intended outcomes and behaviors

Define the structure, abstractions, and constraints of the entity “brain,” in close collaboration with engineering

Translate high-level intent (doctrine, rules, roles, objectives) into concrete, inspectable, and configurable decision logic

Design and author entity behavior using a visual scripting editor

Design behavior systems that support variation, parameterization, and reuse, rather than hard-coded outcomes

Participate in iteration cycles to refine behaviors based on simulation outcomes, user feedback, and observed emergent behavior

Qualification

Required

3 – 5 years' experience designing game-based AI/decision-making systems using HTNs, GOAP, state machines, or comparable frameworks

Proven ability to conceptualize AI behavior models that express a wide range of intended outcomes, constraints, and variations

Strong systems-thinking skills, with the ability to reason about complex decision spaces, tradeoffs, and emergent behavior

Experience partnering closely with engineers to design and evolve runtime AI systems, including defining abstractions, constraints, and interfaces

Sufficient experience writing code so that you can read, understand, and contribute to behavior-related code, prototypes, or tools in collaboration with engineering

Ability to clearly articulate design intent, assumptions, and limitations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Due to federal contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position
