Key responsibilities for successful candidates:
The ideal candidate must have a proven background in analytical and engineering assessment, as well as experience with developing and utilizing modeling and simulation tools to perform trade studies, performance assessments, and conceptual performance studies of missile systems.
Work with missile system engineers to design, develop and use modeling and simulation tools to conduct trade studies, performance assessments, and conceptual design studies across the missile mission space
Shape missile test and evaluation activities to include scenario development, operations and pre/post flight analysis
Lead and contribute to mission analysis efforts for system verification and validation
Support the GNC team in design, analysis, and implementation of GNC algorithms for missile systems including autopilot design, trajectory optimization, and navigation filters (e.g., Kalman filters).
Develop and validate 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) missile simulation models including aerodynamics, propulsion, and sensor models.
Analyze system performance under various mission scenarios and environmental conditions.
Support integration of GNC software with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and flight hardware.
Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, and test engineers throughout the full missile development lifecycle to include guidance, navigation, control, propulsion, seekers, and warhead systems.
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and peer review within the GNC team.
Serve as the primary M&S engineering technical interface to internal stakeholders, suppliers, and government customers.
Prepare and present technical documentation, reports, and design reviews for internal and external stakeholders.
Oversee system verification and validation, including support of test planning, execution, and analysis.
Participate in proposal development, including assisting with plans and specifications.
Collaborate with cross-discipline teams to advise government and contractor partners on engineering challenges and design trades
Produce reports and presentations to communicate study results to team members and government partners
Required:
Bachelor's degree
in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
Candidate must be a U.S. citizen with an
active Secret security clearance , but exceptional candidates with the ability to successfully undergo government screening to obtain the appropriate level of clearance will also be considered.
11+ years of relevant professional experience in modeling and simulation of missile systems, with 3+ years in a technical leadership role for missile development programs.
Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, and simulation tools for GNC development, 6-DOF, and Monte-Carlo simulation.
Have experience working with and developing modeling and simulation tools
Have familiarity with flight vehicle physics and dynamics
Have experience developing simulations for mission (medium fidelity) and engineering-level (high-fidelity) studies
Have experience with verification and validation of M&S tools
Ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing is essential.
Must be proficient in use Microsoft business tools including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
Candidate must be a U.S. citizen with an active Secret security clearance, but exceptional candidates with the ability to successfully undergo government screening to obtain the appropriate level of clearance will also be considered.
