Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Modeling and Simulation Engineer • Huntsville, AL Opportunity PeopleTec is seeking a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to support our Huntsville, AL location. MDA Joint Integrated Fire Control is looking for Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineers with a background in Electrical, Aerospace, or Mechanical Engineering to join our rapidly growing Mission Engineering team. In this role, you will develop, integrate, and execute complex simulations of Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) systems to evaluate end-to-end mission effectiveness under varied conditions. Your work will directly translate theoretical mission architectures into quantifiable performance data, accelerating our customers' ability to make data‑driven investment and modernization decisions. Duties: Design, code, and test high‑fidelity mathematical models and simulations of IAMD components (e.g., sensors, interceptors, and threat kinematics). Integrate disparate system models into both real‑time (Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop/Software‑in‑the‑Loop) and non‑real‑time (constructive) simulation frameworks. Develop automated analysis tools and scripts to parse large simulation datasets, enabling sensitivity analysis, trade‑space exploration, and the quantification of mission effectiveness. Evaluate threat kinematics, sensor‑to‑shotter assignments, weapon flyouts, and overall lethality to quantify end‑to‑end performance across complex IAMD architectures. Qualifications Required Skills/Experience: 5 to 10 years of applied engineering experience, with a heavy focus on modeling, simulation, and analytical tool development. Strong programming skills in C++ for building and integrating engineering simulations. Proven ability to integrate models into larger simulation architectures, managing data exchange, simulation timing, and post‑run analysis pipelines. Experience analyzing architectures for "sensor‑to‑shooter" loops and fire‑control closures. Must be a U.S. Citizen. An active DoD Secret clearance is required. Candidates must have an active Secret clearance upon hire and the ability to maintain it during employment. Education Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related highly technical field. Desired Skills/Experience: Top Secret clearance. Experience with Docker, Podman, or similar for containerizing M&S applications. Experience with Army IAMD systems or Missile Defense Agency (MDA) architectures and platforms. Familiarity with the Joint Track Management Capability Bridge. Experience with common DoD simulation frameworks such as AFSIM, FSI, DIS, or other environments. Familiarity with translating operational scenarios or "kill webs" into quantitative simulation environments. Experience in Python, Java, MATLAB, GitLab, and/or Linux.
