Job description

Role overview

A senior individual-contributor and people-lead role inside a Modeling, Simulation, and Algorithm Design (MSAD) group supporting propulsion and aerospace programs. The position pairs high-fidelity technical work in modeling and controls with team-lead responsibilities, reporting to the Director of Engineering. The role is hybrid or remote from listed U.S. locations.

Responsibilities

• Build high-fidelity models and control algorithms for propulsion, flight control, and guidance subsystems
• Design system simulation architectures supporting design iteration, verification, and validation
• Lead controllability studies, define control topologies, and contribute to gain-tuning methods across architectures
• Run performance engineering activities including requirement derivation, margin analysis, trade studies, Monte Carlo, and sensitivity analyses
• Apply physics-based modeling across mechanical, thermal, aerodynamic, ballistics, propulsion, and actuation domains
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary GNC, software, systems, and test teams; participate in customer engagements and technical reviews
• Author and review technical documentation; ensure simulation models meet verification, validation, traceability, and configuration requirements
• Mentor engineers and lead peer reviews across modeling and controls work

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline; equivalent experience may substitute
• 10 years of modeling, simulation, and algorithm design experience
• Demonstrated depth in systems engineering, M&S, or control systems
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills in multidisciplinary settings
• Prior experience leading and developing small technical teams
• MATLAB and Simulink (or similar tool) proficiency
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance; U.S. Person status required for export-control compliance
• Approximately 10% travel

Nice to have

• Controllable solid rocket propulsion system performance modeling experience
• Functional management of small, highly technical teams

Benefits and work setup

• Disclosed base salary range of $153,615–$199,400 USD, plus incentive plan eligibility
• Flexible Time Off; comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with significant employer contribution; 401(k) with company match up to 8% of contributions; wellness programs; flexible gym stipend; additional voluntary benefits
