Modeling and Simulation Integration Engineer

Description Are you passionate about improving Precision Strike capabilities for the United States warfighter? Do you love solving complex problems with sophisticated modeling and simulation (M&S) tools? Do you thrive in dynamic, collaborative, and fun work environments? If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL! We are seeking a Modeling and Simulation Integration Engineer to characterize and evaluate missile system performance against Precision Strike platforms in complex environments. We are a well-rounded and hardworking team of analysts and developers who support a wide range of government sponsors with many exciting technical problems. As a member of our team, you will develop and use high-fidelity simulation tools to conduct physics-based engagement-level and mission-level analyses, while collaborating with specialists and integrating M&S tools in other fields including (but not limited to): aerodynamics, GNC, propulsion, radar engineering, electronic warfare, software development, systems engineering, and more. Responsibilities Your primary responsibility will be to evaluate precision strike platform effectiveness by developing, using, and integrating together an assortment of medium to high fidelity engagement-level modeling and simulation tools across multiple technical specialty areas. You will design and execute structured physics-based one-vs-one and one-vs-few simulation experiments to explore system performance, sensitivities, and trade spaces. You will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to use, develop, and improve detailed modeling capabilities. You will build novel data visualization tools for large and complex data sets. You will prepare and present formal documentation to technical specialists, operational partners, and Government sponsors. Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you... Have a BS degree in a technical field such as Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical, Aerospace, or other engineering field Have 1+ years of experience analyzing missile systems or working with aerospace systems Have experience with programming languages such as MATLAB or Python Have experience running simulations and investigating driving factors behind results Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level government security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship You’ll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you... Have a MS or PhD degree in Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical, Aerospace, or other Engineering field Have experience with M&S tools such as AFSIM, ESAMS, SHAZAM, or the Vulnerability Toolkit, to analyze the effectiveness of Missile GN&C, seekers, fuzes, and/or warheads Have strong programming skills with at least one of the following languages: Python, MATLAB / Simulink, C / C++, Fortran Have experience with simulation Design of Experiments (DoE) methods Have experience working with DoD Government customers and industry partners Have an active Top Secret security clearance Minimum Rate $85,000 Annually Maximum Rate $195,000 Annually EEO Statement All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, occupation, marital or familial status, political opinion, personal appearance, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
