About The Position

Capstone Research Corporation is seeking a Digital Engineer to support multidisciplinary engineering projects for the U.S. Department of War in Huntsville, Alabama. The role applies digital engineering methods, architectures, models, and analytical tools to complex challenges in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Joint Tactical Integrated Fire Control (JTIFC), and Joint All-Domain Operations, with an emphasis on improving sensor-to-shooter integration and closing the kill chain. The ideal candidate has a technical foundation in systems engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), software development, and modeling and simulation (M&S), and can integrate these disciplines into cohesive digital engineering solutions. The engineer will work with multidisciplinary teams to develop and evaluate advanced defense capabilities, connect requirements and architectures with analytical models, software, and verification activities, and communicate engineering findings to government customers and industry partners.
