Description

The company is hiring a systems engineer skilled in MATLAB and Simulink to join its team supporting NASIC/NSIC and related intelligence missions.

You will build, adapt and apply physics-based models of mechanical and aerospace systems to analyze current and future military capabilities at mission level.

Responsibilities

• Build, adapt and check TMAP models of mechanical, aerospace and space systems for intelligence analysis.
• Create component-level and system-level models in MATLAB and Simulink, and use them in analysis workflows.
• Connect TMAP and MATLAB/Simulink models to wider modeling and simulation environments, such as AFSIM, where suitable.
• Work with a mixed group of engineers, analysts and government or DoD staff to grasp system behavior and mission context.
• Turn analysis needs into model structures.
• Measure and explain uncertainty, assumptions and limits.
• Use Python, C++ or similar languages to automate tasks, process data and run models.
• Write technical documents and intelligence-based reports on modeling methods, inputs and findings.
• Use Agile practices and Jira to track tasks and work with others.
• Explain technical material clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Requirements

• This role may be filled at Level 2 or Level 3, depending on qualifications.
• Level 2: a bachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related STEM field with 2+ years of relevant experience, or a master's in a related STEM field with 0 years of relevant experience.
• Level 3: a bachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related STEM field with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a master's in a related STEM field with 3+ years of relevant experience.
• U.S. citizen holding an active TS/SCI clearance, and able to keep it.
• Working experience with MATLAB and strong Simulink skills.
• Hands-on coding in at least one language, such as Python, C++ or MATLAB.
• Familiarity with modeling and simulation of mechanical or aerospace systems.
• Able to work independently and within a technical team.
• Strong written and spoken communication.
• Preferred: prior experience using or modifying TMAP models, especially in an IC or NASIC/NSIC setting.
• Preferred: experience with AFSIM or other modeling and simulation platforms, such as STK, NGTS or ITASE.
• Preferred: experience on Agile development teams, including use of Jira.
• Preferred: experience reading and working with intelligence-based data and reports to inform models.
• Preferred: prior IC or domain experience with NASIC/NSIC or similar organizations.
• Preferred: experience documenting complex models and analysis results for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Preferred: familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), SysML or Cameo.

Conditions

Top Secret clearance is required to start.

Travel is 10% of the time; domestic travel of up to 10% may be required, depending on program needs.

Relocation assistance may be available.
