About The Position

Torch Technologies is seeking a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to support the development of a tactical air-to-ground missile system through simulation analysis and model verification and validation (V&V) for the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM). The position involves simulation execution for system performance analysis, developing models and analysis tools, algorithm testing and analysis, and pre-flight and post-flight test support. The ideal candidate will be a self-motivated individual capable of working independently and within a multi-disciplinary team with contractors and government employees. Experience with flight dynamics, tactical missile systems, RF phenomenology, target signatures, and modeling and simulation techniques is preferred.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
2+ years of experience in modeling and simulation, preferably within the defense or aerospace industry.
Knowledge of six degrees of freedom simulations, Monte-Carlo techniques, verification/validation of models, tactical missile sensors, control systems, aerodynamics, propulsion systems, test planning and execution, and configuration management.
Experience with MATLAB, C++, Python, or other programming languages.
Familiarity with Linux is preferred.
Experience with data analysis and visualization tools.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
