Overview

The Subsystem Modeling Engineer will develop and implement advanced modeling solutions to support the design, analysis, and optimization of subsystems for space systems supporting DoD and IC missions. This role involves creating detailed subsystem models for propulsion, thermal management, power, payloads, and communications to ensure mission readiness and system performance in complex environments. The ideal candidate is a seasoned engineer with deep technical expertise in subsystem modeling, simulation tools, and space systems engineering. The Subsystem Modeling Engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to influence subsystem designs and enable data-driven decision-making. Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain models for key subsystems of space systems, including propulsion, thermal control, power, communications, and payloads. Perform modeling and simulation to analyze subsystem performance, reliability, and mission readiness under varying conditions. Utilize advanced tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, STK) to simulate subsystem behaviors and responses to operational environments. Conduct trade studies, gap analyses, and sensitivity analyses to evaluate design choices and optimize performance. Collaborate with systems engineers and program managers to provide actionable insights into subsystem design and integration processes. Support subsystem integration with broader space architectures to ensure compatibility with satellites, ground systems, and mission objectives. Validate subsystem models through testing and verification, analyzing test data against simulation predictions. Present modeling results, reports, and technical recommendations to program leadership, government customers, and engineering teams. Stay updated on emerging technologies and methodologies to drive continuous improvement in subsystem modeling efforts. Ensure compliance with DoD standards and program specifications through rigorous validation and documentation of subsystem models. Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or related technical field (Master’s degree preferred). Minimum of 15 years of experience in subsystem modeling, simulation, and analysis within the space systems domain. Extensive background in developing and validating models for propulsion, thermal management, power systems, or other subsystems. Proven ability to perform subsystem-level trade studies and influence technical design decisions. Clearance

Active Top Secret clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI). Technical Skills

Proficiency in subsystem modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, STK, or equivalent platforms. Strong understanding of subsystem performance metrics, operational requirements, and mission readiness criteria. Familiarity with space mission concepts, including orbital mechanics, payload integration, and space domain situational awareness. Desired Qualifications

Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline. Certifications in modeling and simulation (e.g., CMSP). Experience on DoD or IC programs involving complex space systems. Knowledge of space environment factors, including radiation effects, thermal dynamics, and vacuum constraints on subsystem performance. Familiarity with AI/ML for predictive modeling and anomaly detection. Hands-on experience with flight systems, fault tolerance modeling, or autonomous system modeling. Perks & Benefits
