The Specialized Warfighter Development Contract (SWDC) Threat Products and Services organization is responsible for the development and delivery of high fidelity threat data products in support of the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA’s) Ground Test event simulations. The Radar Cross Section (RCS) Modeling and Simulation Engineer 2 role will help develop, analyze and Quality Control RCS models, produce RCS signatures, and be responsible for the verification and validation of RCS signatures. This position requires a detail-oriented engineer responsible for understanding RCS models, adjusting RCS models to work within the TMC’s RCS generation framework, understanding and verifying RCS results, and providing documentation required for running threat data in Ground Test architectures. The RCS Modeling Engineer will support the Missile Modeling team on Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO. This role requires employees to be onsite daily. No relocation assistance is available. Essential Functions: Good understanding of Radar systems and RCS phenomenology as well as Modeling and Simulation methods and processes. Willing to work in new areas of development and be able to pioneer new capability development and requirements. Effectively communicate requirements and processes to fellow engineers, system engineers, software developers. Comfortable working with little or no direct supervision and work as an integral member of an Agile cross-functional team. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline from an accredited university and 2 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree in a STEM discipline and 0 years experience, Must already possess an active DoD Secret clearance. Ability to collaborate with systems engineers, software engineers, model end users, and MDA Ground Test stakeholders to ensure RCS model requirements are met Understanding of electromagnetic energy transmission, reflection, and scattering. Strong knowledge of Radar principles and Radar Cross Section models. Ability to develop Radar Cross Section signature models from specifications. Experience using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and models. Understanding of the flight characteristics, motion, and performance of missile systems. Experience with verification and validation of RCS simulation results. Must be self-motivated, able to work in a dynamic team environment. Preferred Requirements: Experience modeling missile Radar Cross Section signature representations. Ability to run method of moments codes. Experience developing FACET models from CAD. Understanding and experience with High Performance Computing architectures. Ability to reduce simulation outputs to RCS averages and scattering point representations.
