DEFENSE
Overview
Systems Engineering Group (SEG), a wholly owned subsidiary of AXIENT LLC, is seeking enthusiastic candidates wanting to support the defense of our nation. SEG provides an intellectually stimulating environment with excellent opportunities for technical and leadership growth. This position will support the SEG group which characterizes sensor and missile performance against threat ballistic and cruise missiles through modeling, simulation and analysis using digital simulations.
Responsibilities
Systems Group Overview (work group environment)
Candidate will be part of a team responsible for weapon system simulation and performance analysis. The team develops and integrates individual system models for analysis (threats, weapons, sensors) to include multiple interacting systems. This team contributes to defining, leading and performing analyses for requirements feasibility, sensitivity studies for threat variability and fidelity, asset planning and what-if scenarios, flight-test mission (requirements, planning, and analysis) support and certification efforts.
The group provides independent verification and validation support for internal system-level products. This offers opportunities to work with SEG sensors, vehicles, phenomenology products and engineers integrated within our simulation software development environment to view the battle environment scenes through the eyes of combat systems.
The group includes subject matter experts and technical leads providing direct technical support to various defense programs as a contributing member of broad cross-functional and technical subject-specific integrated product teams.
We bring missile and weapons knowledge together to support concept definition, threat driver assessments, system requirements, design reviews, test planning, and defining roadmaps for future development
Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
Characterize sensor and missile performance against ballistic and cruise missiles through modeling, simulation and analysis using digital simulations. Characterize sensitivities to missile variability.
Develop, integrate and use analytical models and tools to test new threat data and software products, assess system capability, and drive system requirements and design.
Communicate with external customers and internal technical staff, via correspondence and briefings.
Support technical leadership for internal projects and contribute to external customer forums.
Assist program management in defining future efforts and author technical details of statements of work
A majority of the work is based out of our Columbia, MD office. Travel is occasionally required to participate in technical forums and reviews.
