The Radar Cross Section (RCS) Modeling and Simulation Engineer role will help develop, analyze and Quality Control RCS models, produce RCS signatures, and be responsible for the verification and validation of RCS signatures. This position requires a detail-oriented mid-level engineer responsible for understanding RCS models, adjusting RCS models to work within the TMC’s RCS generation framework, understanding and verifying RCS results, and providing documentation required for running threat data in Ground Test architectures. The Modeling Engineer will support a team out of Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO.
This role requires employees to be onsite daily.
Requirements
Essential Functions:
- Good understanding of Radar systems and RCS phenomenology, as well as, modeling and simulation methods and processes.
- Willing to work in new areas of development and be able to pioneer new capability development and requirements.
- Effectively communicate requirements and processes to fellow engineers, system engineers, software developers.
- Comfortable working with little or no direct supervision and work as an integral member of a geographically dispersed Agile cross functional team.
