• Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan
• Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays

Schedule

• Full-time, Monday – Friday in-office position; remote work is not available

Responsibilities

• Build and run computational models of targets and backgrounds
• Generate meshes from CAD geometry, run physics-based prediction tools, and compare model results against measured data
• Work alongside senior technical experts or independently lead advanced modeling efforts, depending on experience
• Generate and validate surface and volume meshes from CAD geometry
• Assess and improve mesh quality for accurate solver results
• Configure, run, and post-process radar, thermal, and infrared signature models
• Apply computational fluid dynamics to model flow, exhaust, plume effects, and aero-thermal heating
• Develop and modify MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ software to automate workflows and process signature data
• Use high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and GPUs to scale computational runs
• Support measurement campaigns, including calibration, data formatting, labeling, and analysis
• Compare predicted signatures against collected EO/IR and RF data
• Document findings in technical reports and signature data products

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field (Master’s degree is a plus)
• Relevant experience via coursework, internship, research, or hands-on experience with CAD, mesh generation, CAD-to-mesh workflows, computational modeling, or physics-based simulation
• Experience with MATLAB and/or Python; ability to read and modify C/C++ is helpful and expected at the senior level
• Familiarity with electromagnetic, thermal, fluid, radar, or infrared modeling tools
• U.S. citizenship is required, along with the ability to obtain (and maintain) a security clearance
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel within the United States

About the role

Entry-level candidates should be eager to learn and grow with guidance from experienced technical experts. Senior candidates should be able to independently build, run, validate, improve, and document complex computational models using sound technical judgment.

Field test and evaluation activities at remote ranges throughout the U.S. may require travel for periods of up to two weeks or more, occasionally with extended hours supporting classified work.
