Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design, code, and test high-fidelity mathematical models and simulations of IAMD components (e.g., sensors, interceptors, and threat kinematics).
• Integrate disparate system models into both real-time (e.g., Hardware-in-the-Loop/Software-in-the-Loop) and non-real-time (constructive) simulation frameworks.
• Develop automated analysis tools and scripts to parse large simulation datasets, enabling sensitivity analysis, trade-space exploration, and the quantification of mission effectiveness.
• Evaluate threat kinematics, sensor-shooter assignments, weapon flyouts, and overall lethality to quantify end-to-end performance across complex IAMD architectures.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related highly technical field.
• 5 to 10 years of applied engineering experience, with a heavy focus on modeling, simulation, and analytical tool development.
• Strong programming skills required to build and integrate engineering simulations in C++.
• Integration Expertise: Proven ability to integrate models into larger simulation architectures, managing data exchange, simulation timing, and data collection pipelines for post-run analysis.
• Engagement Chains: Experience analyzing architectures for "sensor-to-shooter" loops and fire control closures.
• Ability to obtain Secret Clearance, TS preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Docker, Podman, or similar for containerizing M&S applications.
• Experience with Army IAMD systems or Missile Defense Agency (MDA) architectures and platforms.
• Familiarity with the Joint Track Management Capability Bridge.
• Experience with common DoD simulation frameworks such as AFSIM, FSI, DIS, or other environments.
• Familiarity with translating operational scenarios or "kill webs" into quantitative simulation environments.
• Experience in Python, Java, Matlab, Gitlab, and/or Linux.
