Systems Engineer - Performance Analyst Mid-Career

Description

The Systems Engineer – Performance Analyst will join the System Simulation and Performance team on the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program. The role focuses on developing and analyzing high-fidelity modeling and simulation (M&S) software to evaluate missile defense system performance, using HPC clusters and advanced analytical tools.

• Support the development of medium and high-fidelity modeling and simulation software.
• Run digital system simulation tools on a high‑performance computing (HPC) cluster.
• Integrate weapon system elements into performance analysis products.
• Modify code in MATLAB, Python, and Linux shell scripting.
• Develop, update, and run scripts to process data outputs and performance results.
• Analyze, evaluate, and communicate system performance results and behavior to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with the organization and customer community to ensure consensus on system performance, trades, and design maturity.

• Experience with C++, Python, or MATLAB.
• Knowledge of Git or Gitlab.
• Experience with performance analysis.
• Eligibility to obtain DoD Secret Security Clearance – U.S. citizenship required.

• Active or current DoD Secret (or higher) security clearance.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, or Data Analytics.
• Experience with Linux operating systems and shell scripting (Bash or tsch).
• Experience executing analysis on HPC clusters (e.g., Slurm, Open Shift).
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline development (Gitlab runner, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with dashboard development (Dash, Plotly, Bokeh, Matplotlib).
• Experience developing or integrating custom Python tools for data extraction, transformation, visualization, and storage.
• Experience with CMake.
• Experience working in the development phase of a missile program.
• Experience with modeling and simulation.
• Experience with weapon system performance analysis.
• Experience with statistical modeling.
• Experience with algorithm development and testing (e.g., scheduling, graph, linear programming, dynamic programming).
• Experience with distributed simulations and API development.

The position requires a government security clearance. The candidate must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain a DoD Secret Security Clearance. The clearance level for this role is Secret.
