We are seeking a mid-level Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer to join our team.
ABOUT THE TEAM
In this role, you will:
- Develop cutting-edge simulation tools that model battlefield vehicles to assess performance and integration in complex mission scenarios.
- Create interactive tools that facilitate human interaction with these simulations.
The ideal candidate has experience working on aerospace systems and understands the right fidelity of system level modeling required to model large scale, many-on-many missions. The role requires the individual to be proficient in vehicle/sub-system modeling and well-versed in coding practices and software integration practices. If you have a passion for flight and like the idea of building a physics based digital representation of air vehicles and payloads, this is the role for you!
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Work on challenging problems in a fast-paced environment across our portfolio of programs and products.
- Develop our Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) framework to support mission-level concept exploration, tactics development, autonomous behaviors, and Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) product development.
- Develop simulation models for sensors, comms, movement, tactical behaviors, weapon effects, electronic effects, command and control, and others.
- Partner with Operations Analysis team members to deliver simulations capabilities that enable efficient Monte Carlo and Design of Experiments analysis.
- Partner with capability teams like Mission Autonomy to deliver simulation capabilities to help accelerate development.
- Work with multi-disciplinary subject matter experts to understand and adequately model pertinent sub-system, system and system of system dynamics.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Senior Modeling Simulation Engineer: 8 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience
- Modeling Simulation Engineer: 3 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience

- Experience in flight dynamics/platform physics and control
- Experience with high performance and multi-threaded programming
- Demonstrated curiosity and ability to learn outside of core discipline
- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Advanced proficiency with C++
- Experience with Python
- Experience with developing sub-system and system level models (air vehicles, ground vehicles, ground-based sensors and other types of complex systems)
- Experience working with/developing multi-system mission level simulations in one or more domains (subsurface, surface, ground, air, and space)
- Experience in military simulation fields delivering configurable scenario-based environments for operations analysis and wargaming (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS, etc.)
- Startup experience
