About The Position

Qualis LLC is seeking a Kinematic Modeling and Simulation Systems Engineer Level III in support of Northrop Grumman’s Space Systems, Multi-Domain Operations, and Missile Defense Integration Business Unit. This position is full-time onsite at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, CO.

The Threat Modeling Center (TMC) is responsible for the development and delivery of high-fidelity threat modeling products in support of Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and MDA’s Missile Defense System. The TMC Kinematic Systems Engineer is responsible for working with a group of engineers that generates the kinematic output data of simulated missile trajectories for the TMC. This data is delivered as part of an Integrated Threat Product (ITP) to various Department of Defense customers (primarily within the MDA) to drive the Threat portion of their simulations. ITPs are produced and delivered anywhere between one day and six months, so flexibility, requirements identification, and time management skills will be used on a daily basis.
