What You Will Do

  • This role is critical for the risk reduction and requirement-definition phase of the project's mechanisms. High-fidelity modeling of electromechanical actuators and sensors is required to validate designs against testbed data and to inform the specifications of future hardware iterations.
  • Distill complex models into low-fidelity versions for integration into larger system-level simulations.
  • Provide rapid-turnaround study results for sponsors and maintaining long-term, high-fidelity simulation infrastructure.
  • Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • High-Fidelity Modeling: Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors.
  • Model Validation: Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy.
  • Risk Reduction & Requirements: Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms.
  • System Integration: Create and maintain low-fidelity "surrogate" models that approximate actuator behavior for use in larger, integrated system simulations.
  • Study Support: Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2-3-week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations.
  • Simulation Maintenance: Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment to ensure stability for other project stakeholders.
  • Vendor Technical Integration: Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information, ensuring that behavioral models accurately reflect external hardware and software specifications.
  • Technical Versatility: Act as a flexible resource within a small team, providing overlap and support for other GNC functions as bandwidth requires.
  • Communication: Translate complex simulation data into clear, concise plots and PowerPoint presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications You Must Have

  • Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred) and a minimum of 5 years of prior engineering experience.
  • Experience in Matlab, Simulink and the C programming language.

  • Experience delivering professional presentations.
  • Experience working directly with external vendors and hardware suppliers.
  • An active and transferable TS/SCI CI Poly U.S. government issued is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for the required security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

  • Experience in signal Processing.
  • Experience with high-bandwidth mechatronics and dynamics.
  • Experience in research and development of precision pointing systems.
  • Work in a complex multi-task, schedule-driven environment.
  • Perform effectively with minimal day-to-day oversight
  • Advanced degree
