You will collaborate closely with senior engineers to evolve system architectures, develop software, and apply advanced systems modeling techniques to support mission-critical defense applications. All applicants must be able to obtain/maintain an active Secret U.S. Security Clearance. This is an on-site position. Requiring at least 5 days in office, based out of our Mount Laurel, NJ location.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics, or equivalent full-time professional experience.
3+ years of full-time professional experience in System Engineering, or related technical roles.
Ability to travel up to 10% of the time, as needed
Strong programming proficiency in C++ and Java.
Solid foundation in real-time processing concepts and makefile systems.
Familiarity with systems engineering and modeling concepts, including experience utilizing MATLAB.
Strong willingness to learn complex new domains, such as defense architectures and probabilistic performance measures.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience with the Aegis combat system is highly desired, especially for mid-to-senior candidates to support the team, though training will be provided for the right candidate.
Knowledge of probabilistic combat system performance measures (PK, PES, PSI, and CK).
Familiarity with software certification principles and the use of AI agents for recompiling tasks.
Hands-on experience developing and deploying software in AWS-centric environments.

Responsibilities

Execute complex system stress tests and utilize MATLAB to model and evaluate weapons systems.
Calculate, analyze, and evaluate probabilistic combat system performance measures (such as PK, PES, PSI, and CK), particularly for live fire and Aegis-related scenarios.
Navigate, test, and validate within a real-time, event-based architecture that utilizes DDS RTI (Data Distribution Service Real-Time Innovations) and UDP communications (e.g., Sigpro SPY.
Ensure software meets rigorous certification standards and validation processes.
Participate in the ongoing testing and rearchitecting of the system as the program evolves.
(For mid-to-senior roles) Provide guidance, support, and domain knowledge transfer to junior engineering staff.
