You will have a strong hand in defining and executing development tasking as part of an Agile Kanban process, culminating in a DevOps pipeline. Your knowledge and talent will guide the team in assembling and releasing an ever-growing portfolio of space mission operations analysis simulations and trade studies.

    Fun stuff on the job you will do:

    + Be a member of a fast-paced multidisciplinary mission operations modeling, simulation, and analysis team informing the United States Space Force acquisition decision process.

    + Your background and interest in simulation development will be highly valued in developing and testing simulation applications. You'll be integrating mission simulation tools into an automated system-level trade study execution architecture.

    + You will have a strong hand in defining requirements, specifying designs, and implementing an ever-growing portfolio of space mission operations analysis simulations and trade studies.

    Qualifications

    This is you:

    + Bachelors degree in aerospace, astronautics, mathematics, or physics and five (5) years of experience with:

    + At least one programming language: MATLAB, Python, Java, C#, or C++ Live, virtual, and/or constructive (LVC) simulation techniques and technologies

    + Simulation development experience with simulation environments such as STK, AFSIM, GMAT, or FreeFlyer

    + MATLAB and/or Simulink or other simulation scripting languages

    + Preparing and delivering presentations and technical demonstrations.

    + Satellite orbital mechanics & maneuvers, remote sensing, spacecraft launch/command/control, and/or satellite communications. Equivalent experience with airborne systems is applicable to this role.

    + Managing files & directories, network file sharing, installing software & licenses, and command line shell (Windows Cmd or Bash).

    + Must have an in-scope security background investigation (T5 or SSBI), adjudicated for SCI eligibility and enrolled in the Continuous Evaluation program (if applicable).

    Desired Qualifications

    + Simulation software development, test, and integration experience in a team environment. Use of Agile methodology and Atlassian Jira are beneficial.

    + Prior industry experience in aerospace or space & defense.

    + Systems engineering, with experience defining and executing trade studies. Engineering methodologies such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Multidisciplinary Design Analysis Optimization (MDAO), or Model-Based Design are a plus. Demonstrated knowledge of supporting toolsets such as Cameo Enterprise Architect, Sparx Systems EA, or Ansys ModelCenter would be helpful.

    + Participation in engineering peer reviews, both as a developer and as a reviewer.

    + Advanced degree in engineering with emphasis on applications to space launch, orbit propagation, and maneuvering.

    + Professional certification (e.g., Professional Engineer, INCOSE CSEP, ITEA CTEP, Agile PM/PO, etc.).

     

    Target salary range: $120,001 - $160,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
