Modeling and Simulation Engineer

MTSI is seeking a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer to provide expertise for multi-domain defense simulation development and testing. The person in this position will utilize their M&S experience developing and using system, subsystem, and component models for aerospace applications, executing simulation trades, and performing Monte Carlo analysis.

Essential job functions will include but are not limited to:

• Develop and implement mission-to-high fidelity level models for simulations to support strategy, technology/concept development, requirements, design, and test of communications equipment and systems.

Required Qualifications:

• US Citizenship and an active secret clearance
• Bachelor of Science in a technical discipline (i.e., engineering, mathematics, physics).
• 5+ years of relevant modeling and simulation experience.
• Understanding of aerospace system functions and dynamics and how to model them.
• Capability to perform analysis measuring key system performance metrics and verifying model behavior utilizing ground and flight test data.
• Ability to create, test, and debug scripts, Python, and C++ programs.
• Prior experience modeling entire systems or individual components, such as sensors, GNC, and propulsion.
• Excellent communication skills (both oral and written).
• Ability to apply engineering rigor to solve engineering/scientific problems.
• Prior experience supporting a major defense acquisition program in a high-visibility environment with mission-critical responsibilities.
• Self-starter who can work independently and in a collaborative team environment.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• TS/SCI clearance
• Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline.
• Prior experience working with the AFSIM simulation framework is highly desired.
• Experience modeling and analyzing RF and IR-based engagements of air and space platforms.
• Proven ability to perform hi-fidelity operational system analysis to quantify sensor, weapon system, and kill chain effectiveness.
• Experience developing briefings and presenting analysis results to high-level government customers to help them in their decision-making processes.

The pay range for this position is $120,000 year to $150,000/year; however, base pay offered may vary depending on established government contract ranges, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience, and other factors. MTSI offers a full range of medical benefits, 401k, ESOP, paid time off, and other benefits, dependent on the position offered. Base pay information is based on market location.
