Full Job Description
The group is seeking a Systems Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Engineer to assist in

developing our existing codebases for physics and electronic warfare modelling. These Matlab

codebases allow for modelling of sensors, weapons, and electronic warfare capabilities. The

engineer will work with the team to understand the features that need to be added to the existing

models and the analysis goals. The engineer would leverage their engineering/physics technical

background to understand how to model the desired features and capabilities and implement

them efficiently in the existing codebase. In addition, the engineer would be expected to further

improve the quality of the existing codebase in accordance with software engineering best

practices, and effectively perform analysis runs using the codebase.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:
• Independently adding features and capabilities to the existing Matlab codebase, including

the technical background to accurately model basic physics phenomenology in terms of

RF propagation, electronic warfare, missile flyouts, sensors etc.
• Performing quality control on new features and the existing code base to include adding

unit tests, and other capabilities to ensure that the results are accurate and that new

features are interacting appropriately with the rest of the codebase.
• Working with the team to understand what new features are required in the codebase to

support analysis
• In consultation with the team, taking responsibility for overall software architecture and

quality control of the codebase, including how new features should best be added.
• Performing modeling runs needed for analysis and building tools that allow for efficient

batch runs and analysis of results.

Required Skills:
• Data Analysis Tool Development using MATLAB
• Modeling & Simulation
• Software Development
• Matlab Programming
• Software Architecture

Desired Skills:
• Active and Passing RF Sensing; Threat Modeling; Platform Dynamics
• Modeling Sensing Technologies (radar and optical sensors)
• RF Signals (Antennas, EM Propagation and Modeling, Down-Conversion Receivers)
• Classified Software Development
• Aircraft, Missile, Satellite Systems
• Air Surveillance Systems (e.g. radars)
• Command and Control (C2) Systems

Period of Performance:

Two year contract with the possibility of being extended based on budget/work availability and

performance.

Clearance:

Candidates must have an active secret clearance to be considered for this position.

Work Location: Onsite - Candidate should expect to be onsite 5 days a week.

Interview Process: 1st round interview will be a Zoom with the hiring manager, followed by in

person interviews with the group leader and key team members. Candidates should expect a

technical interview..
