Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Software Developer Intern with Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS / SCI) clearance to join our dynamic team.

Responsibilities

• High-Fidelity Modeling: Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors.
• Model Validation: Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy.
• Risk Reduction & Requirements: Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms.
• System Integration: Create and maintain low-fidelity "surrogate" models that approximate actuator behavior for use in larger, integrated system simulations.
• Study Support: Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2–3 week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations.
• Simulation Maintenance: Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment to ensure stability for other project stakeholders.
• Vendor Technical Integration: Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information, ensuring that behavioral models accurately reflect external hardware and software specifications.
• Technical Versatility: Act as a flexible resource within a small team, providing overlap and support for other GNC functions as bandwidth requires.
• Communication: Translate complex simulation data into clear, concise plots and PowerPoint presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Education / Work Experience:

Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience.

This position requires a U.S. Citizen who is eligible to obtain any required Export Authorization

Mandatory Skills:

• · Expert-level proficiency in Matlab and Simulink.
• Familiarity with signal processing.
• Ability to create and maintain behavioral models that capture the critical aspects of complex electromechanical systems in a manner that is transparent, understandable, and modifiable for other team members.
• Communication: Demonstrated ability to communicate technical results through high-quality visualization (plots) and professional presentations.
• Experience with high-bandwidth mechatronics and dynamics.
• Experience in the research and development of precision pointing systems.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and pivot quickly between different technical tasks.
• Experience working directly with external vendors and hardware suppliers.
• Ability to adapt to diverse vendor-delivered simulation environments and data formats, with the flexibility to operate within varied external workflows.
• Familiarity with the transition from high-fidelity research models to low-fidelity flight/system models.
