Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer

Leidos is looking for a Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer to support US Air Force objectives at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. In this onsite role, you will develop, interpret, and integrate algorithms into high-fidelity electro-optical (EO) simulation models using EO/IR data and instrumentation to inform program efforts.

This position focuses on building simulation models and analysis workflows, accelerating compute-intensive code, and helping ensure models and algorithms perform reliably through verification, validation, and test execution.

What you’ll do

• Apply signal and image processing principles to analyze data and solve problems, including automation of data analysis, sensor characterization, and development of improved data analysis techniques.
• Develop, integrate, and test new simulation models and algorithms for high-fidelity EO simulations.
• Use GPU clusters to accelerate MATLAB and C++ codebases.
• Perform modeling and simulation using off-the-shelf and custom-developed tools.
• Create testing scenarios and conduct prediction and post-run data review to identify root causes and trends.
• Verify and validate models and algorithms within high-fidelity simulations.
• Analyze and plan approaches to organize solutions for complex technical problems.
• Develop synthetic data for algorithm tradespace analysis and apply statistical methods to support complete and accurate results.
• Develop test plans and document outcomes in test reports.
• Communicate with team members and customers to determine requirements and relevant technical approaches.
• Mentor staff in areas of expertise.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field, plus 4+ years of prior relevant experience.
• US citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
