Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer 4 (AHT)
About The Position
Northrop Grumman is currently looking for an experienced Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer 4 with a background in C++. The Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer will work with our C++ based simulations of the missiles to verify weapon system requirements. This position will be located on-site at our Northridge, CA location. There is no remote or telework for this role. Must have a current US Government DoW Secret security clearance. The Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer 4 will assist in developing weapon systems requirements verifications, scenarios to verify those requirements, analyzing the results using MATLAB or python tools, and digging into the C++ source code of the simulation to track down reasons for apparent requirements failures (Actual issue with the system itself, the system software, or the model representation in C++). The Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer will also do extensive testing of the simulations themselves to verify their suitability for weapon systems requirements verification. Later tasks will vary between software-centric or analysis-centric responsibilities.
Requirements
- BS degree in aerospace engineering, physics, software engineering, systems engineering, or a related field with 8 years of experience, OR an MS degree in the aforementioned areas with 6 years of experience
- Previous experience and proficiency in developing or troubleshooting C or C++ applications on Windows, and preferably on Linux
- Significant experience with either MATLAB or Python, with demonstrable experience and skills in using these for data analysis or building analysis tools
- Experience applying principles of dynamics/kinematics to analysis or software development (specifically applicable to missile systems, or sensor modeling in lieu of this)
- Experience in at least one of the following: requirements development and verification, Jenkins or other DevOps tools, AFSIM and/or JSE, working with a Hardware-In-The-Loop system, or embedded software development
- Current US Government DoW Secret security clearance
Nice To Haves
- Experience as a charge account manager, or other experience with EVMS
- Experience as a scrum master (beyond just running scrum meetings) or scrum product owner
