• The candidate should have familiarity with contractor and government roles in applying intelligence analysis to aerospace system development and acquisition.
• The candidate must be located in or willing to relocate to the Dayton, Ohio area.

Desired

• Professional training in modeling and simulation as related to space, missile, or aircraft system performance/dynamics.
• At least one additional programming/software development language (C, C++, Python).
• Familiarity with TMAP, AFSIM, ITASE, NGTS, or JSE.
• The candidate should possess familiarity with the Department of Health of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Intelligence Community (IC).
• Specific experience developing mathematical models of aerospace vehicle dynamics, guidance navigation, and control components and algorithms.
• A basic understanding of system component integration and the ability to model entire systems or individual components, such as sensors, GNC, propulsion, aerodynamics, etc., to varying levels of detail will be expected.

Education Requirements

• B.S. degree in an engineering or physics discipline. (Required)
• Master’s degree in an engineering or physics discipline. (Desired)

Clearance Requirements

• Current Secret
• TS with SCI eligibility is desired.
• U.S. Citizenship is required for this position.
