This position requires a detail-oriented mid-level engineer responsible for developing ballistic and advanced/hypersonic kinematic threat models for use in a variety of modeling and simulation tools/frameworks/media. Must be able to apply standard engineering and mathematical algorithms to ensure the accurate portrayal of expected missile or space launch vehicle behavioral characteristics during all phases of powered and un-powered flight. Must have a good understanding of modeling and simulation methods and processes. Must be able to research, interpret, and verify parameters required to build, replicate, and propagate missile or space launch vehicle trajectories including, but not limited to, staging debris, countermeasures, and payload traits. Must be able to author highly technical Verification and Validation (V&V) documents. Must be able to work with little to no direct supervision, work as an integral member of a product delivery team and meet time-critical delivery schedules. This requisition may be filled at either Systems Engineer 2 level or Principal Systems Engineer 3 level. Level 3:
