Northrop Grumman is currently looking for an experienced Level 2 or Level 3 in Modeling and Simulations, Systems or Software engineering with a strong background in C . The successful candidate will work with our C based simulations of the AARGM ER family of missiles to verify weapon system requirements. This will involve assisting in developing weapon systems requirements verifications, developing scenarios to verify those requirements, analyzing the results using MATLAB or python tools, and digging into the C source code of the simulation to track down reasons for apparent requirements failures (Actual issue with the system itself, the system software, or the model representation in C ). The candidate will also do extensive testing of the simulations themselves to verify their suitability for weapon systems requirements verification. Later tasks will vary between software centric or analysis centric. The ideal candidate will have professional experience in both software engineering and systems engineering, or experience specific to modeling and simulation. Basic Qualifications for an Engineer, Modeling and Simulation Systems/Software (Level 02): BS degree in software engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, systems engineering, or a related field is required with 2 years of experience or an MS degree in areas above with 0 years of experience is required. Previous experience, and proficiency in developing or troubleshooting C or C applications on Windows, and preferably on Linux. Significant experience with either MATLAB or python, with demonstrable experience and skills in using these for data analysis. Significant experience developing requirements, devising requirements verification methods, executing those verifications, and documenting the results. Sufficient background in physics to understand the basics of flight dynamics and sensors (material covered in first year engineering physics courses will suffice) or coursework in statistics beyond the general education level. Experience in at least 1 of the following: 6 DOF simulations MBSE/CAMEO GNC Sensors Other field specifically relevant to missile simulation or verification Experience as a product owner or CAM Ability to obtain an interim US Government Secret security clearance prior to start and ability to get cleared to SAP access level. Basic Qualifications for a Principal Systems Engineer, Modeling and Simulation Systems/Software (Level 03): BS degree in software engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, systems engineering, or a related field is required with 5 years of experience or an MS degree in areas above with 3 year of experience is required.
