SSI is seeking a Modeling Simulation Software Engineer for a role in El Segundo, CA.

Role and Responsibilities include:

• Be a member of a fast-paced multidisciplinary mission operations modeling, simulation, and analysis team informing the United States Space Force acquisition decision process.
• Your background and interest in simulation development will be highly valued in developing and testing simulation applications. You'll be integrating mission simulation tools into an automated system-level trade study execution architecture.
• You will have a strong hand in defining requirements, specifying designs, and implementing an ever-growing portfolio of space mission operations analysis simulations and trade studies.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in aerospace, astronautics, mathematics, or physics and nine (9) years of experience with:
• At least one programming language: MATLAB, Python, Java, C#, or C++.
• Live, virtual, and/or constructive (LVC) simulation techniques and technologies.
• Simulation development experience with simulation environments such as STK, AFSIM, GMAT, or FreeFlyer.
• MATLAB and/or Simulink or other simulation scripting languages.
• Preparing and delivering presentations and technical demonstrations.
• Satellite orbital mechanics & maneuvers, remote sensing, spacecraft launch/command/control, and/or satellite communications.
• Equivalent experience with airborne systems is applicable to this role.
• Managing files & directories, network file sharing, installing software & licenses, and command line shell (Windows Cmd or Bash).
• Active TS clearance with in-scope T5/SSBI is required, along with SCI eligibility and participation in Continuous Evaluation.
