ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: Work under the close supervision of senior level personnel who guide the junior engineer to resolve basic tasks. Provide support to develop real-time closed-loop HITL simulations for guided weapon and IRCM systems utilizing the GWEFRTS framework. Apply knowledge of GPS technology, system concepts and operation. Verify and validate simulations against other simulations and against actual ground and flight tests.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS: Must have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position. Must have a minimum of one year of experience in software development in MATLAB, C and C++. Experience/education in Model-Based System Engineering and/or Digital Engineering also highly desired.

GENERAL DUTIES: Develop new or modify existing simulations to meet customer-specific test objectives. Implement simulations of air-to-air, surface-to-air and air-to-surface weapon systems. These simulations incorporate both hardware and software model elements into a single HITL simulation used for test and evaluation of weapon systems. These simulations operate on a variety of computer platforms, including Alpha workstations and PC compatibles. The models include kinematics; dynamics; component models such as linear and angular accelerometers, gyroscopes, rate sensors, barometers and E/O, IR and LASER seekers/sensors; and hydraulic, pneumatic and electromechanical control actuators. These models are required to execute in real-time at integration rates exceeding 2000 Hz. Implement target models including environmental effects. Interface the simulation software to the weapon system under test and to the GWEF test equipment, including flight motion simulators; E/O, IR, LASER, RF and MMW target simulators; GPS and other inertial components. These interfaces are implemented using analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog systems, digital parallel or serial interfaces, shared memory systems, or combinations thereof.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS: This position requires a Top Secret clearance. Candidates must eligible to obtain and maintain a TOP SECRET security clearance. Candidates with a Secret clearance must have been adjudicated within the past 5 years. Must meet requirements to operate in enhanced security environments. All selected candidates must undergo and successfully pass a background investigation and drug test as a condition of placement into this position. Supports E-OMS operational objectives. Observes company Quality, Safety, Environmental, Security and Administrative policies; supports Process Improvement.

WORK ENVIRONMENT: Work is normally performed in an environmentally controlled office/laboratory environment.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Must be capable of performing required tasks while using wide variations of physical effort such as sitting, running, walking, standing, crawling, climbing or remaining in awkward, sometimes strained, positions for extended periods of time; may be required to lift up to 30 lbs.
