About The Position

Torch Technologies is seeking a highly skilled Senior Modeling and Simulation Analyst to contribute to the design, development, and execution of complex simulation environments. This role focuses on high-fidelity modeling of integrated defense systems, including Radars, Command and Control (C2) architectures, Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones), and Missile Systems. The ideal candidate is technically strong, equally comfortable writing low-level bash scripts in a Linux environment, architecting large-scale simulations using containerization, and briefing technical results to senior government stakeholders. You will serve as a technical bridge between complex system requirements and actionable simulation data.

Requirements

US Citizenship.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.
5+ years of professional experience in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) within the defense or aerospace industry.
Proficiency in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Bash scripting.
Proficiency in Python and MATLAB for mathematical modeling and data science.
Deep understanding of the physics and logic governing Radars, C2 systems, and Missile/Drone kinematics.
Active security clearance (Secret or higher).

Nice To Haves

Experience using Podman (or Docker) for application deployment and environment isolation.
Experience with industry-standard simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).
Experience with Git-based version control and CI/CD pipelines.
Previous experience acting as the Primary Technical Point of Contact (POC) for a government program office.
Familiarity with DIS/HLA standards for distributed simulations.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the end-to-end design of M&S frameworks for integrated sensor-to-shooter kill chains.
Develop and validate high-fidelity behavioral models for radar waveforms, C2 logic, and kinetic interceptors.
Architect and maintain simulation environments utilizing RHEL Linux, deploying scalable simulation nodes via Podman containers.
Create robust automation pipelines using Bash scripting to streamline simulation runs, environment setup, and data collection.
Develop sophisticated data reduction and analysis tools using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy) and MATLAB.
Create high-impact technical plots and visualizations to communicate system performance.
Author comprehensive technical reports, design documents, and verification/validation (V&V) reports for delivery to the customer.
Lead technical discussions with government customers to translate operational needs into concrete simulation requirements.
Present complex simulation results to stakeholders and senior leadership, providing clear recommendations based on data.
Provide technical guidance and peer review for Level 1-3 engineers on the team.
