Description

As an integral part of our Foundational Systems Engineering department located in Linthicum, MD, you will accelerate the delivery of capabilities to our customers through advanced models and simulations of platforms, sensors, weapons, and their interactions with the environment.

• Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) using C++ object-oriented design, advanced data structures, and test-driven development.
• Develop large scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including design of experiments for evaluating system and mission performance.
• Integrate MS&A with operational flight software, collect and analyze data from laboratory or flight tests, verify simulation performance against flight test data and formally verify that models meet specified requirements.
• Produce publication-quality reports that define simulation credibility and provide artifacts for formal Simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VVA).
• Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products.
• Perform operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis.
• Develop or integrate existing system simulation frameworks, performance models, algorithms, threat models, and command and control models.
• Model operational environments, conduct trade studies via computer simulation, and recommend alternative architectures.
• Simulate real-time operations and develop software that models system behavior.
• Develop, integrate, and use advanced graphical user interface and visualization tools.
