Modeling & Simulation Engineer

Peerless Technologies is seeking a Modeling & Simulation Engineer – RF and Mission Analysis to support advanced experimentation, technology assessment, and multi-domain defense modeling initiatives. The selected candidate will conduct physics-based RF modeling, mission-level modeling and simulation, and technical data analytics to evaluate system performance in operationally representative and contested environments. This role supports the integration and assessment of advanced technologies across maritime, aerial, ground, and space domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, execute, and analyze physics-based RF models and simulations across multi-domain operational environments.

• Assess RF propagation, radar cross section (RCS), link budgets, jammer-to-signal (J/S) ratios, and electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) effects.

• Model communication systems, including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and point-to-point RF systems, as well as radar systems such as search, track, and phased-array radar.

• Evaluate technology performance in nominal, congested, and contested electromagnetic environments, including noise jamming, digital radio frequency memory (DRFM), and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Utilize AFSIM, STK, or equivalent modeling and simulation tools to conduct physics-based and mission-level analyses.

• Develop and execute mission-level M&S scenarios incorporating manned and unmanned vehicles, platforms, infrastructure, and U.S. and allied systems.

• Assess technology performance within representative concepts of operation (CONOPS), including interactions and synergistic effects across systems and operational environments.

• Ingest, transform, process, analyze, and visualize technical data generated during experimentation and test events.

• Develop automated data-processing workflows using MATLAB, Python, or equivalent analytical tools.

• Apply statistical analysis, pattern recognition, and data-cleaning techniques to evaluate large and heterogeneous datasets.

• Analyze telemetry, RF specifications and measurements, and platform or flight logs to support technical interpretation and experimentation outcomes.

• Develop analytical reports, consolidated datasets, figures, and visualization products supporting Government decision-making and follow-on tasking.

• Utilize Power BI or equivalent visualization platforms to deliver structured and actionable analytical products.

Required Qualifications

• Technical knowledge and experience in physics-based RF modeling and analysis.

• Understanding of RF propagation, RCS, link budgets, J/S analysis, and EMSO effects.

• Experience with RF communication and radar systems in multi-domain environments.

• Experience developing, executing, analyzing, and documenting mission-level modeling and simulation.

• Experience with AFSIM, STK, or equivalent modeling and simulation tools.

• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or equivalent analytical programming tools.

• Experience processing, analyzing, and visualizing technical data generated during experimentation or test events.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills.

• Ability to evaluate complex technical systems and communicate findings to Government stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience modeling systems within congested or contested electromagnetic environments.

• Experience with MANETs, point-to-point RF communications, search and track radar, and phased-array systems.

• Experience with DRFM, noise jamming, and EMI modeling.

• Familiarity with operational characteristics of manned and unmanned vehicles represented in mission-level scenarios.

• Experience evaluating technology interactions across platforms, infrastructure, and U.S. and allied systems.

• Proficiency with Power BI or similar data visualization platforms.

• Experience developing automated analytical workflows and repeatable data-processing pipelines.

• Experience supporting defense experimentation, operational analysis, or technology assessment programs.
