Mission Systems Engineer: Simulation, Prototyping & Analysis

Castelion Corporation; Torrance (CA); Vor Ort; USD 100.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Castelion is seeking a Mission Design Engineer in Torrance, CA to lead mission-level analysis and system design using advanced modeling and simulation tools such as AFSIM and EADSIM. You will translate mission needs into engineering requirements and inform design decisions through simulation and rapid iteration.

The role includes prototype hardware design, integration, and test, ensuring simulation insights drive real-world performance.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in mission analysis, operational analysis, systems engineering, or aerospace/defense modeling & simulation.
• Experience with AFSIM, EADSIM, or similar tools (e.g., STK, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI clearance.
• Familiarity with aerospace or defense systems (missiles, aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles).
• Strong analytical and communication skills.

Aufgaben

• Develop and execute mission-level simulations using AFSIM and EADSIM to evaluate system performance in contested, multi-domain environments.
• Translate operational scenarios and customer needs into system requirements, constraints, and performance metrics.
• Conduct trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and campaign-level assessments to inform system architecture and design decisions.
• Analyze interactions between sensors, weapons, communications, and threat systems to assess mission effectiveness.
• Build, maintain, and extend simulation frameworks representing real-world operational conditions.
• Use simulation outputs to guide design trades across propulsion, GNC, avionics, and software.
• Correlate simulation results with ground and flight test data to improve model accuracy and predictive capability.
• Develop tools and workflows to rapidly evaluate new concepts and configurations.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate mission requirements into prototype systems.
• Support system-level integration and ensure alignment between modeled performance and actual system behavior.
• Participate in flight tests and live-fire events, including pre-test analysis, real-time support, and post-test evaluation.
• Use test results to refine both system design and simulation models.
• Cross-functional communication to inform design tradeoffs and prioritization.
