Red Team Engineer, Discovery
As part of the Discovery team, you will serve as an internal adversary to identify design weaknesses, unmodeled failure modes, and incorrect assumptions in complex systems before they reach the field. You will work across multiple domains including space, missiles, air vehicles, autonomy, sensors, and GNC to pressure-test trade studies and reconstruct engineering analyses for various mission threads. Your daily responsibilities include developing analysis tools, performing independent verification of others' work, and translating findings into actionable guidance for hardware and software teams. To succeed, you must possess a track record in designing and analyzing real engineering systems while demonstrating proficiency in physics-math scripting using MATLAB, Simulink, or Python with numpy/scipy. You will also utilize domain tools like STK/Astrogator or AFSIM to ensure the reliability of software-defined systems across diverse hardware and cyber domains.
