• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with aeronautics and/or astronautics focus
• Modeling, simulation, and analysis experience
• Algorithm development and computer programming experience
• Experience working in a collaborative environment
• Desire to work on complex system-of-systems analysis problems utilizing genetic algorithms, machine learning, artificial intelligence (e.g., deep reinforcement learning), sliding mode controller/observer, as well as traditional analysis, optimization, and controller synthesis techniques
• Algorithm, modeling and simulation, or visualization experience using Python, C++, GitLab, STK, and/or MATLAB
• Good problem-solving skills and effective verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to travel approximately 10% of the time as required
• 3 references, including 1 personal and 2 who are familiar with the candidate’s prior professional work experience

• Experience conducting analysis and development in AFSIM
• Experience with sensor/information fusion technologies and approaches (e.g. Kalman and Bayesian filters)

• Work on-site within a collaborative team environment to engineer joint tactical integrated fire control solutions
• Provide modeling, simulation, and analysis products that will dovetail with products from other team members
• Provide engineering level inputs and assistance to system models already under development as needed
• Progress to independent execution of products to cover our broad DoD customer base
• Participate in execution of complex system of systems analysis plans
• Conduct algorithm prototyping in Matlab/Simulink that will be auto-code ported for use as plug-ins to the AFSIM (Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling) assessment environment, as part of a team effort
• Interface with science & technology project leads to determine necessary requirements to integrate outside applications and algorithms into the AFSIM framework
• Develop and evaluate the system using standard and novel measures of performance and effectiveness as required
• Participate in periodic program reviews and technical presentations to Government stakeholders
• Take full advantage of conference, training, and advanced education opportunities offered by Capstone Research
