Systems Engineer II - Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (Onsite)

RTX•Tucson, AZ

9d•$68,900 - $131,100•Onsite

About The Position

The Processing, Guidance & Control (PG&C) Center, within the Systems Engineering Directorate, consists of Signal Processing, Guidance, Navigation and Control as well as Modeling, Simulation Analysis (MSA) disciplines. PG&C delivers key technologies to our effector programs portfolio. The MSA teams are responsible for product-level simulations that help us design, develop, verify, and validate our products and capabilities. Our simulations model the components and subsystems that make up our designs, and the world our products interact with. This is an Entry Level Role onsite in Tucson, AZ.

Requirements

Master’s degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics, (STEM) obtained by start date
Experience applying object-oriented software design in C++, C, and using MATLAB and Python for evaluation of data sets
Experience developing or simulating physical systems
Experience in modeling, simulation, statistics, or analysis for existing or proposed engineering solutions
Experience may be obtained through job experience, research, coursework or projects
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
DoD Clearance: Secret
Active and existing security clearance required on day 1
