About Us:

At Raytheon Missiles & Defense, fresh thinking and possibilities are forged in times of change and you will be on the front lines as we trail blaze new approaches, push the boundaries of innovation and chart a course to a tomorrow you can be proud to have a hand in creating

Job Summary:

As the Modeling and Simulation Engineering Fellow, you will participate in unique multi-disciplinary research across integrated product teams consisting of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC), Signal Processing and missile-and-sensor-level Performance Simulations. You will develop the road map for high fidelity performance simulations that include multiple sensor channels, scene generation capability, control hardware, physical environment, embedded software, and system performance evaluation including pre-flight prediction, post flight matching, and verification and validation. MSA Fellows are demonstrated industry experts, versatile, innovative, and eager to share their knowledge.

There's no such thing as a perfect candidate, so don't hold back. Your qualifications could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you're passionate about what you could accomplish here, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• You will act as a strategic visionary who thinks about where a program or product line is heading or needs to go, while considering the technical aspects of how to get us there and then driving the execution of that strategy across multiple programs
• You will be a strong advocate for technical integrity of modeling and simulation products across multiple programs and product lines
• You will be viewed as an expert and serve as a consultant to the organization to help develop technologies to achieve organization growth targets in the area of modeling & simulation, algorithm development, or performance-related studies
• You will be the technical lead in a team environment on diverse projects, providing solutions to create high fidelity simulations and models for missile system design, performance assessment, flight test support, trade studies and evaluations
• You will work alone, or through oversight of teams, to solve the hardest Modeling and Simulation obstacles
• You will oversee a technical team, mentor engineers, and/or manage an engineering project
  Qualifications You Must Have:
  • Bachelor's Degree in engineering disciplines, natural or physical sciences, mathematics, or physics
  • With a Bachelor's Degree listed above, you must have twelve (12) years or more of documented work experience designing and performing analysis with high fidelity performance simulations, using tools for evaluation of data sets (A Master's Degree will satisfy 2 years of work experience and a PhD will satisfy 3 years of work experience)
  • Recent applied work experience coding in C/C++ (or other high order language) and UNIX/Linux based workstations.
  • Must be the author of intellectual property (patent disclosures) or conference/journal publications in a modeling and simulation technical area within the past ten (10) years.
  • Must have provided engineering expertise to previous programs by participating in project design reviews and/or peer reviews, including preparing/delivering technical briefings to internal stakeholders and external customers
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
    Qualifications We Value:
    • Advanced degree in aforementioned disciplines
    • Recognized technical authority in modeling and simulation
    • High level of expertise to drive technical solutions
    • Well known with established relationships in industry
    • Proven knowledge of fundamental concepts, with high level of analytical ability to drive technical solutions
    • Ability to participate in definition of team goals and provide solutions to complex technical tasks
    • A strategic visionary who does not operate in a silo, but can think about where a program or product line is heading or needs to go, while considering the technical aspects of how to get us there
    • Mentor and advocate of respect, diversity and ethics
    • Complementary expertise in the areas of signal processing, guidance navigation & control, or hardware design and test
    • Business development experience including technical and cost proposal preparation
    • Program management experience and familiarity with defense product lifecycles
    • Excellent verbal and written communications with internal and/or external customers and team members
    • Current Secret or Top Secret Department of Defense Clearance
      What We Offer:
      
      Whether you are just starting out on your career journey, or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package including compensation, healthcare, wellness, retirement, work/life benefits, career development and recognition programs. Some of the best benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.
