Modeling and Simulation Engineer - Open Rank (Mid-Senior Level)-ACL

Job Purpose

The Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer works closely with research, development, and sing teams to combine simulation modeling with data analytics in order to provide recommendations to optimize system designs in support of current and future research, development, and sing efforts.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct sponsor engagement and facilitate product or system requirements gathering and analysis
• Develop critical M&S inputs, including framework definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis and implementation
• Conduct product or system design analysis translating requirements into valid models and experimental designs for systems of moderate complexity
• Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributes
• Analyze product or system functionality as defined by requirements
• Implement approaches that foster reusability of existing M&S expressions
• Additional Responsibilities
• Develop physics-based models of sensors (such as radar, EO/IR, RF collection/Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) sensors), electromagnetic warfare (EW) countermeasures, communications networks, systems, platform, threats, atmospheric phenomena, terrains, and scenes
• Run simulations and algorithm optimizations
• Curate data and write automation scripts
• Write and perform software ss supporting software verification and document outcomes
• Collaborate with project team members, project directors, and sponsors on technical requirements, schedules, and program risk analysis
• Document and present results in appropriate forums (reviews, technical reports, publications, etc.)

Required Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or closely-related technical field
• Experience with any or all of the following languages: C#, C++, Python, MATLAB
• Experience modeling military weapon systems and threat environments
• Experience applying statistical analysis techniques to interpret simulation results
• Proficient scientific writing skills
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret Security Clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI Clearance
• Master’s or Doctoral degree in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or closely-related technical field
• Experience using modeling tools (such as AFSIM, TMAP) or related development languages
• Experience developing physics-based models of sensors, EW countermeasures, or communications networks
• Experience with modeling, simulation, and analysis of platforms and systems in the Space domain
• Experience applying modeling and analysis techniques to analyze human behavior and/or human decision making
