MTSI is seeking a mid-level 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.
• Develop signal processing algorithms for navigation and communication systems (radio navigation, wireless communications, vision navigation, satellite, etc.).
• Develop accurate computer modeling techniques for detecting, locating, and identifying communication signals.
• Provide Modeling and Simulation Analysis for strategic mission communications, satellite, and radio navigation signal generation.
• Model weapon system performance in real-world environments by analyzing critical sensor and weapon platforms, command, control, communications, and computers (C4) and decision processes.
• Provide mission level modeling execution using the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM).
• Develop, apply, and evaluate state-of-the art navigation and communication technologies that highlight concept solutions across multiple domains (air, land, sea, space) and mission areas.
• Provide technical integration and implementation of other system simulation tools (e.g. missile or space vehicle six-degree-of-freedom, sensor/detector hardware) to analyze mission level communication technologies captured in AFSIM.
• Deliver metrics-based products and executive-level presentations and assist in producing simulation-driven visualizations.
• Support special studies as needed to include experimental efforts showing concept feasibility, analysis, data integration, and software development for communication technologies.
• Provide excellent customer support and demonstrate an ability to communicate with all levels of leadership and/or customers.

Required Skills:

• Bachelors degree in engineering, computer science, software engineering, or mathematics is required.
• 2+ years of experience with modeling and simulation concepts (discrete-event, stochastic variables, Monte Carlo analysis, etc.).
• 2+ years of software engineering to include experience in agile software engineering environments.
• Experience working with a simulation framework or environment.
• Demonstrable skill in one or more high-level object-oriented programming languages (e.g. Java, C/C++).
• Must work well in a team environment and have the ability to interact with data suppliers and customers.
• Able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment in order to provide required functionality/analysis and meet timelines.
• Ability to communicate and explain complex technical issues and provide comprehensive results and analysis in both written and oral presentations.
• Must possess good analytic skills and the ability to apply these skills in a multi-tasking environment where more than one project may require your participation at any given time.

Desired Qualifications:

• Master's degree preferred.
• Experience working with the AFSIM M&S framework highly desired.
• An understanding and experience developing software utilizing the full software development lifecycle process.
• Familiarity of model-based system engineering methodology and corresponding tools.
• An active secret clearance is required.
