Modeling/Simulation/Analysis Engineers will collaborate with Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), signal processing, and other performance analysis personnel to perform simulation activities according to the program schedule.

The Modeling/Simulation/Analysis Engineer will work on diverse projects, determine and develop approaches and solutions, in addition to providing development support throughout the product lifecycle from initial concept to fielded product. Responsibilities include providing technical support for the simulation products of a specific program, and assisting Senior Modeling Engineers in the preparation of detailed plans (including task objective, expected output, budget requirements and schedule for projects), and may interact with government counterparts as an authority on simulation products.

Please note: We are not seeking engineers with an AutoCAD or 3-D modeling background or network modeling from an IT perspective.

Required Education, Skills and Experience:

* Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or Math required
* Two (2) years of experience coding in C/C++ (or other high order language)
* Two (2) years of applied work experience using tools such as MATLAB or Python for analysis of data sets
* Experience using UNIX/Linux based workstations
* College or work experience in modeling, simulation, statistics, or analysis as related to understanding the behavior and performance of existing or proposed engineering solutions
* U.S. citizenship is required
* Must be willing to relocate to Tucson, AZ (relocation package available)

Desired Education, Skills and Experience:

* Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or Math
