Staff Red Team Engineer, Discovery joins the Discovery team to serve as an internal adversary for high-potential, software-defined, AI-native systems across space, missile, air, and autonomy domains. This role involves identifying unmodeled failure modes and design weaknesses by independently red-teaming designs, models, and trade studies before they reach the field. The engineer will build custom analysis tools and simulations to verify claims, reconstruct others' work, and provide actionable guidance to Systems Engineering, GNC, Software, Hardware, and Mission Operations teams. Required skills include a track record of designing and analyzing engineering systems, proficiency in physics-math scripting using MATLAB, Simulink, or Python with numpy/scipy, and experience in fields like Aerospace or Dynamics and Controls. The role addresses critical national security needs by ensuring the reliability of complex hardware and software integrated into mission-critical defense technologies.
