Modeling And Simulation Engineer

Description

• Ensure software meets Department of Defense (DoD) standards for cybersecurity, anti-tamper, safety, and quality.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• Develop and deliver an Integrated Flight Simulation (IFS), which is an all-digital system performance simulation, and a Missile Flyout Simulation (MFS), which simulates real-time flyouts for testing with the tactical system in lab and field environments.
• Support testing activities, including simulation, modeling, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), and live-fire scenarios.
• Lead software architecture and technical design decisions, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.
• Develop and deliver an MFS user manual that provides detailed instructions for installation and execution of simulation, along with explanation of the inputs and outputs.
• Support program working groups and other customer program milestones.
• Author and maintain technical documentation in support of program reviews and compliance requirements.
• Interface with systems engineers, algorithm developers, and hardware teams to integrate and validate end-to-end system functionality.
• Responsible for Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Contract Deliverables (CDRLs), including interpretation of delivery needs from CDRL requirements and Data Item Descriptions (DIDs), which may include working with suppliers to develop their content to support.

Requirements

• Experience with real-time systems, embedded software, or multi-threaded applications.
• Experience with IDL, XML, or API Apps is a plus.
• Deep understanding of software development life cycles, configuration management, and testing methodologies.
• Willing and able to travel internationally for technology transfer.
• Experience in flight and guidance controls, and simulation tools, including 6DOF, for interception systems from the detection stage to the impact.
• Active clearance or U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain clearance.
• Experience with missile defense systems (e.g., Indirect Fires Protection Capability, Integrated Battle Command System, Battle Management Command System, Iron Dome Defense).
• Experience in systems engineering, missile defense, embedded systems, modeling and simulation, and validation.
• Desired skills include familiarity with Weapon Open Systems Architecture (WOSA), Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) architecture, and Cybersecurity Analysis (CSA).
• Master’s degree plus 5 years’ experience, or a bachelor’s degree plus 10 years’ experience in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields.
• Experience integrating with tactical or simulated equipment such as a Weapons Interface Units, to receive launch commands and in-flight updates.
• Experience with simulation frameworks such as STK, MATLAB, or custom missile defense applications.
• Experience with radar systems, sensor fusion, or fire control algorithms.
• Experience working in Agile and DevSecOps environments.
• Experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and servers.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD software and hardware integration practices.
• Experience developing CDRLs and formal reports for the U.S. DoD.
