- 7–10 years of experience in modeling, simulation, control systems, or estimation algorithm development in aerospace or defense
- Background in dynamic-system modeling, control-system design, and simulation infrastructure
- Experience in propulsion modeling, including solid rocket motors and controllable solids performance
- Working knowledge of physics-based modeling for mechanical, thermal, and aerodynamic subsystems
- Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related STEM field
- Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or equivalent modeling and control tools
- Understanding of classical and modern control techniques, including state-space control
- Competence in model verification and validation
- Ability to generate SysML diagrams
- Ability to travel up to 10%
- U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, protected-individual status, or eligibility to obtain required export authorization
Responsibilities
- Develop high-fidelity models and control algorithms for propulsion, flight-control, and guidance subsystems
- Create simulation architectures for design iteration, verification, and validation
- Perform controllability studies of dynamic systems
