Job summary

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) seeks a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to develop physics-based simulations of weapons, missiles, and submersibles using MATLAB/Simulink and C++. You will connect with teams through the full pipeline from conception to integration and build high-fidelity six-DoF simulations to assess system performance.

A Bachelor's degree with 3+ years of experience is required, and the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance is essential.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, CS, or applied math with 3+ years' experience.
Ability to independently perform technical analysis and present results.
Demonstrated experience developing physics-based models and simulations.
Significant experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and/or C++.
Must be able to obtain Interim Secret clearance and eventually a Secret clearance; US citizenship required.

Responsibilities

Connect with teams to participate in the full pipeline from conception to integration.
Lead or contribute to teams to develop and modify algorithms and physics-based models in dynamic simulations (MATLAB/Simulink, C++).
Build high fidelity, six degree‑of‑freedom simulations to analyze system performance.
Collaborate across disciplines to provide sponsors with optimal system solutions, including pre-design support and hardware testing.
