The successful candidate will perform formal and/or informal leadership roles within our modeling and simulation team. The candidate will work with our C++ based simulations of the AARGM family of missiles with a diverse set of engineers. The candidate will assist in verifying and updating physics-based models written in C++, using simulations that include these models to verify our missile systems, assist with our CI/CD pipelines and build processes, and take ownership over miscellaneous deliveries. The candidate will have opportunities to work with both GNC and sensor algorithms and models. Other technical tasks may include assisting in developing weapon systems requirements verifications, developing scenarios to verify those requirements, analyzing the results using MATLAB or python tools, and digging into the C++ source code of the simulation to track down reasons for apparent requirements failures (Actual issue with the system itself, the system software, or the model representation in C++). The candidate may also do extensive testing of the simulations themselves to verify their suitability for weapon systems requirements verification. Later tasks will vary between software-centric or analysis-centric.

The ideal candidate will have a background in physics, and professional experience in both software engineering and systems engineering, or experience specific to modeling and simulation.
