Air Vehicle Modeling and Simulation Analyst

Air Vehicle Modeling and Simulation Analyst

Your engineering skills and determination are needed to develop the cutting‑edge technology used to support the warfighter and maintain national security. Join an energetic team whose day‑to‑day mission involves breaking down the Air Force’s toughest challenges and communicating the essential results of that work to leadership. As an aerospace or mechanical engineer, you understand the complexities of modern aerospace vehicles—knowledge that is key when modeling fixed‑wing aircraft, rotary‑wing aircraft, and weapon systems.

We’re looking for a problem solver who can use their skills to help perform detailed analyses, including the evaluation of missile performance and survivability analyses of weapon systems and platforms. You will also perform modeling tasks, building aerodynamic coefficient tables, calculating flight envelopes, and developing and refining aircraft models in Fortran, C++, MATLAB, and Simulink. Your work will directly impact the Air Force’s mission by helping determine tactics, techniques, and procedures to improve survivability and vulnerability against threat systems, and by informing acquisition decisions for future systems.

• Perform detailed analyses of missile performance and survivability of weapon systems and platforms.
• Model fixed‑wing aircraft, rotary‑wing aircraft, and weapon systems.
• Build aerodynamic coefficient tables and calculate flight envelopes.
• Develop and refine aircraft models in Fortran, C++, MATLAB, and Simulink.
• Determine tactics, techniques, and procedures to improve survivability and vulnerability of the Air Force’s assets.
• Contribute to acquisition decisions for future military systems.

• 2+ years of experience with flight dynamics and vehicle performance evaluation.
• Experience coding in MATLAB, C++, or Fortran.
• Experience with Simulink.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Secret clearance.
• Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.

• Experience with engineering mathematics.
• Experience with modeling and simulation.
• Experience with Linux.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• TS/SCI clearance.
• Doctorate degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information;
Secret clearance is required.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, local, or international law.
