About the role

At RTX, the world’s largest aerospace and defense company, you’ll join a high-performing team of engineers working with high-fidelity missile simulations to construct decision support systems used by the warfighter. In the Airborne Kill Chain AI/ML Section of the Operations and Mission Analysis Department, you will analyze complex threats and help define new capabilities through operational modeling and simulation using purpose-built software.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, development, and/or utilization of high-fidelity digital simulation software in advanced technical computing environments.
• Contribute to trade studies assessing system performance of weapons against a variety of threats in kill-chain scenarios.
• Apply performance-engineering practices to evaluate computational problems and answer questions such as next system improvements, missile effectiveness against single or multiple threats, and countermeasures to increase effectivity or survivability.
• Collaborate in a team environment, receiving input from programs, external customers, and subject-matter experts to determine, develop, and implement analytic approaches that generate data to inform programmatic decisions.
• Participate in the development and implementation of model-based solutions for decision support systems, including validation and testing of models, software components, and integrated systems.
• Occasional travel (<10%) to support customers or programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of five years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience with MATLAB or Python.
• Experience in at least two of the following:
  • Systems engineering life cycle
  • Software development and/or object-oriented design using C/C++ and/or Java
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and/or Surrogate Modeling
  • Computation on high-performance computing (HPC)

Qualifications We Prefer

• Advanced degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Operations Research, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or Aerospace Engineering.
• Active Top Secret DoD clearance.
• Experience in data analysis and statistics with large volumes of data.
• Experience with AFSIM or other simulation modeling development and/or analysis.
• Experience conducting analyses and studies, including defining and executing study plans.
• Strong written and verbal communication with peers, management, IT support, and customers.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability coverage
• 401(k) match
• Flexible spending accounts
• Flexible work schedules
• Employee assistance program
• Employee Scholar Program
• Parental leave
• Paid time off and holidays
• Annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs (eligibility dependent on role level and collective-bargaining status)

Pay
