2027 Graduate - Modeling and Simulation Engineer - Space Control Systems
About The Position
The Space Control Systems Group of the APL's Space Exploration Sector primarily focuses on the Space Control mission area that has three components: Space Domain Awareness, Defensive Space Control, and Offensive Space Control. Our group tackles these challenges by developing modeling and simulation, multi-domain operation plans, tactics and techniques, test and evaluation plans, threat analyses, performance assessments, space warfighting operations, and force designs. Our staff comes from a variety of backgrounds and heavily leverage programming skills (e.g., C, C++, MATLAB, Python) and modeling skills (e.g., Systems Tool Kit, Astrogator, Thermal Desktop, PTC Creo). We hire from many disciplines including engineering, physics, astronomy, applied mathematics, and computer science. If you are willing to learn about space, apply your skills to a completely new defense domain, enjoy computer simulations and programming, and want to be a part of developing payloads and spacecraft, you might very well be the perfect addition to our group.
