Description
The Weapon Systems Engineering group is seeking a technical professional to help us address complex engineering challenges for advanced missile defense systems. We are a team of experts whose goals are to conceive and assess real-world missile systems, perform laboratory / field testing, conduct in-depth analysis of post-processed data, and present findings to sponsors and the war-fighter.
As an Advanced Kinetic Weapons Engineer:
- Your primary responsibility will be to generate and analyze simulated guided missile data through the use of high-fidelity and mixed-fidelity simulations and statistical analysis tools.
- You will evaluate the performance of various existing and future interceptor systems, examining EO/IR and RF seeker operations, guidance and control performance, fire control sensor handover processes, missile proximity fuzing, and warhead efficacy.
- Verify and validate simulations against requirements and real world data to obtain formal accreditation.
- Present key findings to various government sponsors including the U.S. Navy and Missile Defense Agency (MDA), among others.
- Make an impact on decisions and future designs for the systems that keep our war-fighters safe!
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for this job if you:
- Have a PhD degree, or soon to be awarded PhD, in an Engineering field, Computer Science, Math or Physics
- Have demonstrated skills in data analysis of simulated large-scale dynamical systems such as possibly autonomous or piloted aircraft, or guided missiles, or related kinetic systems
- Have demonstrated an ability to craft clear and concise visualizations of analyzed data and explain the important outcomes to a wider audience
- Have experience with high-performance computing clusters (HPC) scripting or usage such as SLURM or Univa Grid Engine
- Have exposure to software verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) testing
- Exposure to advanced system engineering methods and MBSE tools such as SysML, Cameo, Rhapsody, etc. is a plus
- Have exposure to scientific computing, data analysis, or a background in statistics and/or stochastic processes through classwork, projects, or internships
- Are proficient in MATLAB or a similar scientific computing language such as SciPy or Julia
- Are comfortable working in a Linux OS environment
- Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
You'll go above and beyond the minimum requirements if you:
- Some experience with advanced architectures and wargaming software such as AFSIM, Command PE, etc. would be advantageous.
- Hold an active security clearance with the ability to obtain a higher level clearance
