Full Job Posting

What You’ll Do

  • Model complex aerospace missions. Develop, modify, and run high-fidelity simulations of satellites, aircraft, sensors, and ISR systems to understand mission and system performance.
  • Explore the trades that matter. Compare architectures, technologies, operating concepts, and system configurations to identify performance drivers, limitations, risks, and opportunities.
  • Turn mission concepts into simulations. Build realistic operational scenarios that capture customer objectives, mission constraints, environments, and system behavior.
  • Build better ways to solve problems. Create tools, scripts, automation, visualizations, and new simulation capabilities that make analyses faster, deeper, and more repeatable.
  • Find the story in the data. Work with large simulation datasets to uncover trends, explain system behavior, and translate technical results into meaningful conclusions.
  • Ensure the analysis holds up. Evaluate model assumptions, inputs, outputs, and analytical methods through thoughtful QA/QC and engineering judgment.
  • Make your analysis matter. Communicate findings, trade-offs, and recommendations to engineers, program leaders, senior decision-makers, and customers.
  • Required:
  • US Citizenship Required with an active or current TS/SCI clearance or eligibility.
  • Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college/university, in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
  • Minimum 8 years related experience.
  • Willing to work on-site in a classified facility.
  • Desired / Preferred Qualifications
  • You don’t need to check every box below to be a strong candidate. We’re interested in engineers with relevant experience, strong technical curiosity, and the ability to learn new domains and tools.
  • Advanced degree in engineering, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • 15 years industry experience.
  • Knowledge or experience in one or more aerospace domains such as astrodynamics, remote sensing, spacecraft or aircraft systems, sensor performance, aerospace operations, mission engineering, or complex systems integration.
  • Experience developing, implementing, or evaluating mathematical models, algorithms, simulations, or other quantitative engineering methods.
  • Experience using Python or similar programming/scripting tools to automate analyses, manipulate data, develop engineering tools, or extend modeling and simulation capabilities.
  • Ability to work through open-ended technical problems, evaluate assumptions and risks, and turn analytical results into defensible conclusions and recommendations.
  • Experience working with customers or multidisciplinary teams to understand mission needs, communicate technical findings, and develop practical solutions.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to audiences ranging from fellow engineers to customers and senior decision-makers.
  • A collaborative mindset, intellectual curiosity, and enthusiasm for solving challenging problems that have a direct impact on the mission.
  • Especially Valuable Experience
  • While not required, experience in any of the following areas would be particularly valuable:
  • Space or airborne modeling and simulation
  • ISR, remote sensing, or sensor phenomenology
  • Mission-, system-, or architecture-level trade studies
  • Analysis of large simulation or engineering datasets
  • Development of engineering analysis tools, automation, or visualization capabilities
  • Supporting technical studies or analyses for government customers
