Modeling And Simulation Engineer

deciBel Research has an immediate opening for a Modeling and Simulation Engineer in Huntsville, AL.Position Description:MDA Joint Integrated Fire Control is seeking Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineers with a background in Electrical, Aerospace, or Mechanical Engineering to join our rapidly growing Mission Engineering team. In this role, you will be the technical engineer behind our Mission Engineering analyses. You will develop, integrate, and execute complex simulations of Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) systems to evaluate end-to-end mission effectiveness under varied conditions. Work will directly translate theoretical mission architectures into quantifiable performance data, accelerating our customers' ability to make data-driven investment and modernization decisions.Responsibilities Include:Design, code, and test high-fidelity mathematical models and simulations of IAMD components (e.g., sensors, interceptors, and threat kinematics).Integrate disparate system models into both real-time (e.g., Hardware-in-the-Loop/Software-in-the-Loop) and non-real-time (constructive) simulation frameworks.Develop automated analysis tools and scripts to parse large simulation datasets, enabling sensitivity analysis, trade-space exploration, and the quantification of mission effectiveness.Evaluate threat kinematics, sensor-shooter assignments, weapon flyouts, and overall lethality to quantify end-to-end performance across complex IAMD architectures.Education Requirements:Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related highly technical field.Experience Requirements:5 to 10 years of applied engineering experience, with a heavy focus on modeling, simulation, and analytical tool development.Strong programming skills required to build and integrate engineering simulations in C++.Integration Expertise: Proven ability to integrate models into larger simulation architectures, managing data exchange, simulation timing, and data collection pipelines for post-run analysis.Engagement Chains: Experience analyzing architectures for "sensor-to-shooter" loops and fire control closures

Special Skills Desired:Experience with Docker, Podman, or similar for containerizing M&S applications

Experience with Army IAMD systems or Missile Defense Agency (MDA) architectures and platforms. Familiarity with the Joint Track Management Capability BridgeExperience with common DoD simulation frameworks such as AFSIM, FSI, DIS, or other environments

Familiarity with translating operational scenarios or "kill webs" into quantitative simulation environments

Experience in Python, Java, Matlab, Gitlab, and/or LinuxApplicant selected must have an active Secret security clearance, with an ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance. Must be a U.S. Citizen.
