Job description

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking a RF Sensor Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer. You will support a small, highly empowered team at our Dayton, OH location where every team member is directly responsible for the success. You will utilize your M&S experience in systems, subsystem, and component models for aerospace applications.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• You will be responsible for development of RF sensor models, algorithms and associated simulation software for the above system types and will perform trade-space analysis to assess and verify system characteristics and capabilities.
• You will be responsible for the development of complex antenna element and array models, assessing and verifying antenna design and capabilities, and integrating these antenna models into larger complex system models, algorithms, and simulations.
• You will document all software and hardware characteristics and changes to existing and new simulation environments; test architecture design and test planning; experimental design and test execution; data collection and analysis; and report generation.
• You will integrate models into complex simulation architectures, including engagement-level simulations, theater-level simulations, hardware-in-the-loop architectures.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

Required:

• 5+ years of experience in the use of modeling and simulation software development frameworks.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink.
• Experience with electromagnetic simulation software.
• An understanding of RF sensor principles and capabilities, signal processing and analysis, as well as airborne radar, electronic warfare (EW) and electronic attack (EA) sensor principles.
• An understanding of basic antenna theory, types, characteristics, and design standards, as well as antenna element and array design and analysis, especially basic antenna pattern recognition and analysis.
• Candidate should have demonstrated abilities to solve difficult hardware and software integration challenges.
• The candidate must be a motivated self-starter who is able to work both independently and in a collaborative team environment, often with minimal guidance and within rigid timelines.
