As a Discovery Engineer (Modeling & Simulation), you will join the Discovery team to tackle unproven concepts across space, missiles, air, sensors, autonomy, and cyber. You will own new concepts from initial idea through analysis, prototyping, and testing to reach validated answers for complex technical problems. Your daily work involves building or adapting models and simulations, pressure-testing designs to identify failure modes, and collaborating with hardware and software teams to inform design decisions. The role requires proficiency in at least one physics-math scripting environment such as Python with numpy/scipy, MATLAB/Simulink, or Julia. You will also utilize AI tools for research and coding while ensuring accuracy against known results. Candidates must possess an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance and demonstrate the ability to learn new domains quickly to solve high-stakes technical challenges in defense technology.
