Responsibilities

• Utilize MSE&A of advanced systems using C++ object‑oriented design, advanced data structures and test‑driven development.
• Develop large‑scale data analytics, probabilities, statistics and apply design‑of‑experiments techniques to evaluate system and mission performance.
• Integrate MS&A with operational flight software; collect and analyze laboratory or flight test data; verify and validate simulation performance against real data.
• Produce publication‑quality reports defining the foundation for simulation credibility and provide artifacts to support formal Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VVA).
• Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products.
• Perform operational analysis and mission‑effectiveness analysis.
• Develop new or integrate existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms, threat models and command‑and‑control models.
• Model operational environments, conduct trade studies via simulation and recommend alternative architectures.
• Simulate real‑time operations and develop software that simulates system behavior.
• Develop, integrate and use advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.

Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship; current active Secret clearance and ability to obtain Special Access Program (SAP) access.
• Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of experience (or Master’s with 3 years, Ph.D. with 1 year, or 4 additional years of experience in lieu of a degree).
• For the Senior position: Bachelor’s with 8 years, Master’s with 6 years, Ph.D. with 4 years, or 4 years of additional experience.
• Experience with C/C++, Python, Bash or C shell scripting on Linux and Windows.
• Domain experience in simulations of RF, EOIR, Communications or related systems.
• Experience with digital signal processing, complex‑valued signal data, and MATLAB‑based analytical modeling.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Top‑Secret clearance or higher.
• Advanced degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields.
• Experience with MSE&A, real‑time or reactive simulation software development.
• Knowledge of statistics, design of experiments, descriptive/diagnostic/predictive/prescriptive analytics, high‑performance computing.
• Experience with adaptive signal processing, optimal estimation theory, System Engineering and Integration & Test processes, DPC, CUDA, OpenCL, Verilog, VHDL, or other domain‑specific languages.
• Experience with Agile or SAFe methodologies.

Salary Range
