Verification & Validation Systems Engineer II
Job Description:
Detail-oriented Systems Engineer to support the development of high fidelity ballistic missile and space launch models in support of the Threat Modeling Center I(TMC) Missile Modeler on the JRDC program at the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center, Schriever AFB CO. The Threat Modeling Center is responsible for the development and delivery of high fidelity threat modeling products in support of MDA and MDA’s Ballistic Missile Defense System. The primary responsibilities will include developing missile models that accurately reflect system specifications, engineering data elements required to complete missile models.

Candidate will be required to test selected trajectory models, cases or scenarios against anchored specifications and determine model validly. May also be required to develop software tools to support comparisons of threat trajectory and/or signature data from multiple sources.
Requirements:
- The Engineer must have a strong background in missile system engineering performance; understand engineering modeling principals behind IR and radar signature data, body motion, trajectory generation, counter measures, and debris.
- Must understand basic space and missile system characteristics, motion, body rates, staging, object deployment, Euler angles, quaternion, digital terrain data and M&S principles.
- Must possess exceptional interpersonal skills required to relate to a wide variety of customers.
