About this role
MTSI is seeking to hire a Scene Modeling Engineer to design and develop high-fidelity, physics-based scene generation models for ballistic, hypersonic and air-breathing missile threat systems, in support of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Advanced Capabilities directorate. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in aerospace or physics principles and direct experience in complex scene generation, with a specialized focus on exhaust plume phenomenology. You will specialize in modeling the missile exhaust plume flowfields, kinematics and radiative signatures across the EO/IR spectrums that will support the performance testing of the Missile Defense System (MDS).
Required Qualifications
- US Citizenship and a secret level security clearance.
- B.S. in Aerospace or other field of Engineering, Physics or a related STEM field
- 5+ years of professional experience in modeling and simulation.
- Experience with industry-standard radiation transport codes (e.g., OSC, MODTRAN), government scene generation tools (FLITES), and/or missile exhaust plume flowfield and radiation transport codes (e.g. SPURC, SPF)
- Knowledge of electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor modeling and simulation.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python for scientific computing and model development.
Preferred Qualifications
- Top Secret security clearance
- Master’s degree in a relevant engineering field.
- Experience with parallel computing or GPU acceleration (e.g., CUDA).
