Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy, experienced Modeling and Simulation Engineer to support the EVA SE&I team. The EVA SE&I Modeling and Simulation Engineer will develop the modeling and simulation assets that assess the performance of the EVA spacesuit for analysis and verification purposes.

• Develop high-fidelity space suit fluid, thermal, and electrical simulation math models leveraging existing simulation frameworks and nodal analysis methods (NASA’s Trick simulation and GUNNS software).
• Collaborate with space suit subsystem teams to ensure models accurately reflect design and operational details of life support components.
• Ensure model packages are debugged, tested, verified, and validated with test data.
• Perform and document simulation verification and validation activities.
• Develop and implement methods for assessing simulation credibility including uncertainty characterization and results robustness/sensitivity analysis.
• Incorporate models into the larger simulation framework and work to ensure simulation runs appropriately.
• Apply systems engineering principles to the development and documentation of the simulation framework and constituent models.
• Use the simulation to evaluate spacesuit performance, perform trade studies, and assess design changes.
• Use simulation to perform verification of system requirements.
• Support other Systems Engineering and Integration functions as appropriate and needed.
• Communicating project progress, status, and potential issues to stakeholders and leadership.
• Implementing and maintaining agile project management methodologies throughout the project lifecycle.
• Perform additional job duties as assigned.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• Experience with design and implementation or modeling and simulation of fluid, thermal, or electrical systems.
• Experience performing simulation credibility assessments.
• 2 years of programming experience with systems level languages like C/C++ and/or Python.
• Experience performing simulation software verification and validation activities.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to present technical data to a broad range of technical and non-technical audiences.
• Track record of making things happen in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Uses good judgement to problem-solve proactively, positively impacting hard challenges.
• Demonstrated organization skills to meet tight deadlines with high-quality results.

• Level II Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related technical field (ABET-accredited preferred), required across all levels. 2-6 years of experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Level III Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related technical field (ABET-accredited preferred), required across all levels. 4-9 years of experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Level IV Master's Degree or Ph.D. in Engineering, preferred for Levels II–V and strongly preferred for Levels VI–VII.…
