This position will be responsible for the following:

• Contribute to team efforts in the completion of normal, hostile, and fratricide environment studies of reentry systems.
• Perform radiation transport calculations of free-field and internal dose levels in Navy systems.
• Perform intrinsic radiation studies for personnel safety.
• Compare and correlate radiation modeling results with experimental data.
• Perform Verification & Validation of simulation models and results.
• Assist in test planning and execution at radiation, electrical, and mechanical above ground test facilities.
• Work with software engineers to implement physics-based analysis models into maintainable software programs.
• Assist the customer in system planning, requirement definition, assessment, and qualification of current and future Navy weapon systems.
• Develop technical documentation and briefings.
• Develop technical reports capturing assumptions, inputs, outputs, and results.
• Develop and deliver presentations.
