Senior Simulation Engineer

About the role

Sedaro is hiring Junior-Staff level Modeling & Simulation Engineers to build the high fidelity simulation software that powers our cutting-edge simulation platform and help transform how aerospace technology is built.

The Modeling & Simulation team reports to the Team Lead. This is an in-person role based in Arlington, VA, and requires the ability to obtain a TS security clearance.

Who We Are

Our simulation platform enables digital mission engineering and model-based optimization through distributed, multi-domain, rapid analysis across hundreds of interacting systems. Our simulations have run at massive scale in data centers, in the loop with hardware in the lab, and on-orbit onboard real space hardware. Join us as an early employee and transform how teams collaboratively engineer the next generation of satellite constellations and connected fleets.
