Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in aerospace, systems, or software engineering (or related technical field)
- 10+ years of experience developing or architecting simulation and modeling frameworks for complex systems
- Strong foundation in physics-based modeling, digital twins, and simulation validation
- Experience leveraging real-world or test data to calibrate and validate high-fidelity models
- Expertise integrating simulations into engineering, testing, and operational environments
- Proficiency in Python and familiarity with C++ or Rust for high-performance modeling or integration
- Working knowledge of orbital mechanics and satellite system design workflows
- Proven ability to architect cross-domain solutions and lead multidisciplinary technical teams
- Active DoD clearance or ability to obtain one (preferred)
- Background in spacecraft design, flight dynamics or spacecraft software development (preferred)
- Experience developing simulation interfaces or visualization tools (preferred)
- Familiarity with front-end frameworks and data (preferred)
Responsibilities
- Own the simulation architecture and roadmap spanning spacecraft design, testing, operations, and Mosaic-based mission training and visualization tools
- Develop and mature a digital twin ecosystem that models spacecraft and mission behavior across all phases of the lifecycle — from concept to orbit
- Integrate on-orbit data and test results to validate and continuously refine simulation models, starting with first principals to ensuring high-fidelity correlation between prediction and reality
- Lead the development of scalable, physics-based models supporting our software development teams, mission architecture and subsystem design team by enabling multidisciplinary assessments in faster than real time
- Drive seamless integration across engineering toolchains, test automation frameworks, and operational interfaces to enable simulation-driven design and decision-making
- Collaborate with Mosaic product teams to deliver simulation-enabled situational awareness and operator training capabilities
- Build and mentor a high-performing team of modeling, simulation, and software engineers who thrive at the intersection of analysis, systems thinking, and architecture
- Define and implement standards, workflows, and tools that embed simulation into every phase of the product lifecycle
