Job summary

RTX is seeking an experienced engineer to support risk reduction and requirements-definition for electromechanical mechanisms. You will develop high-fidelity simulations, validate them against test data, and create surrogate models for system-wide analyses.

Ideal candidates have 8+ years in STEM fields, hands-on experience with Matlab/Simulink and C, and proven ability to present findings clearly to sponsors and stakeholders. Security clearance and US citizenship are required.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred) and a minimum of 8 years of prior engineering experience.
• Experience in Matlab, Simulink and the C programming language.
• Experience in signal processing.
• Experience developing clear and adaptable models of complex electromechanical systems.
• Experience delivering professional presentations.

Responsibilities

• Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors.
• Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy.
• Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms.
• Create and maintain low-fidelity surrogate models for larger, integrated system simulations.
• Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2–3-week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations.
• Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment.
• Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information.
• Act as a flexible resource within a small team, providing overlap and support for other GNC functions.
• Translate complex simulation data into clear, concise plots and PowerPoint presentations.
