The AMDS Air and Missile Defense Sector is looking to develop novel, tactically relevant defense solutions by understanding and developing models and simulations for adversary missile systems, as well as for US non-kinetic technology. This involves modeling, analyzing, and understanding adversary system capabilities and non-kinetic technologies for defense applications against adversary weapons.
Requirements
- Experience with programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C++, Java, or similar
- Are skilled in and/or have knowledge of one or more of: flight mechanics, propulsion, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), or physics-based modeling
- Have demonstrated proficiency in both C++ and Java, with knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts
- Are proficient in standard software engineering practices (version control, documenting, testing, CI/CD, logging, etc.)
- Have learned or demonstrated experience in applying systems engineering concepts and principles as part of a multidisciplinary team
Responsibilities
- Develop and use kinematic and RF models and simulations of adversary systems, characterizing their performance
- Design flexible, robust software tools and applications for hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) prototype system testing
- Analyze system level performance of established and future DoD capabilities against adversary threat missile systems
- Understand foreign missile systems to the level that you can help develop and mechanize novel defeat capabilities
Other
- Are pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Math, Physics, or related degrees, with a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
- Have demonstrated analytical skills
- Can effectively communicate ideas and results
- Are able to obtain Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain Secret level clearance.
- Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
