Junior Modeling Simulation Software Engineer

SAIC is a mission integrator serving defense, space, intelligence, and civilian markets. The Junior Modeling Simulation Software Engineer will support the U.S. Space Force by developing, testing, integrating, and releasing space mission operations analysis simulations and trade studies. The role also involves defining requirements, specifying designs, and contributing to multidisciplinary modeling, simulation, and analysis efforts.

What you'll do:

• Be a member of a fast-paced multidisciplinary mission operations modeling, simulation, and analysis team informing the United States Space Force acquisition decision process
• Your background and interest in simulation development will be highly valued in developing and testing simulation applications. You'll be integrating mission simulation tools into an automated system-level trade study execution architecture
• You will have a strong hand in defining requirements, specifying designs, and implementing an ever-growing portfolio of space mission operations analysis simulations and trade studies

What they're looking for:

• Bachelors degree in aerospace, astronautics, mathematics, or physics and two (2) years of experience with:
• At least one programming language: MATLAB, Python, Java, C#, or C++
• Live, virtual, and/or constructive (LVC) simulation techniques and technologies
• Simulation development experience with simulation environments such as STK, AFSIM, GMAT, or FreeFlyer
• MATLAB and/or Simulink or other simulation scripting languages
• Preparing and delivering presentations and technical demonstrations
• Satellite orbital mechanics & maneuvers, remote sensing, spacecraft launch/command/control, and/or satellite communications
• Equivalent experience with airborne systems is applicable to this role
• Managing files & directories, network file sharing, installing software & licenses, and command line shell (Windows Cmd or Bash)
• Must have an in-scope security background investigation (TS or SSBI), adjudicated for SCI eligibility and enrolled in the Continuous Evaluation program (if applicable)
• Must be willing to be nominated for access to Sensitive Compartment Information and Special Access Programs and willing to consent to a Polygraph examination
• Simulation software development, test, and integration experience in a team environment. Use of Agile methodology and Atlassian Jira are beneficial
