Skillbridge Principal / Senior Principal Radar Modeling Simulation Analysis Systems Engineer

About the role

The Northrop Grumman – SkillBridge Program (SkillBridge) is an approved SkillBridge Program under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29. It provides separating service-members with job skills training in a professional setting during the final phase of their military service.

Responsibilities

• Gain valuable civilian work experience during the final phase of military service.
• Work on-site with a host company, focusing on accelerating the delivery of capabilities to customers through the development and use of advanced models and simulations.
• Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) of advanced systems using C++ object-oriented design, advanced data structures, and test-driven development.
• Develop large scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including the application of design of experiment techniques for the evaluation of system and mission performance.
• Integrate MSE&A with operational flight software, collect and analyze data from laboratory or flight tests, verify and validate simulation performance against flight test data, and formally verify that the models meet specified requirements.
• Produce publication quality reports defining the foundation for simulation credibility across all stakeholders and providing artifacts to support formal simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VVA).
• Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products.
• Perform operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis.
• Develop new and/or integrate existing system simulation frameworks, performance models, and algorithms, threat models, and command and control models.
• Model operational environments, perform trade studies via computer simulation, and recommend alternative architectures.
• Simulate real-time operations and develop software that simulates behavior of systems.
• Develop, integrate, and use advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.
