What is the difference between Defense Modeling Simulation vs Defense Systems Engineer?

AspectDefense Modeling SimulationDefense Systems Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in engineering, computer science, or related fields; often certifications in modeling and simulationBachelor's or higher in engineering, systems engineering, or related fields; certifications in systems engineering may be preferred
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, defense contractors, government agencies; focus on simulation development and analysisDesign, develop, and integrate defense systems; work in engineering teams within defense companies or military organizations
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily in defense research, simulation development, and testingInvolved in system design, integration, and lifecycle management of defense platforms

Defense Modeling Simulation specialists focus on creating and analyzing simulations to test defense concepts, while Defense Systems Engineers design and develop actual defense systems. Both roles require engineering backgrounds but differ in their core responsibilities and work environments.

Job description

Job Title: Modeling and Simulation EngineerJob Position Overview

Synovix is seeking two experienced Modeling and Simulation Engineers to support an on-site missile and weapon systems program for a defense customer in. The engineers will build, integrate, verify, and apply high-fidelity digital models and simulations used for design trades, performance prediction, algorithm development, and qualification evidence. 

What You Will Do
  • Develop and maintain high-fidelity MATLAB/Simulink models and simulations for missile and weapon system design and performance analysis.
  • Model and integrate six-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, actuators, sensors, environments, threats, targets, and subsystem interfaces.
  • Plan and execute deterministic studies, design-of-experiments activities, sensitivity analyses, and Monte Carlo campaigns.
  • Verify and validate model behavior against requirements, analytical results, or test data. Integrate simulations with GNC, embedded software, and SIL/PIL/HIL environments.
  • Define simulation architecture, model governance, verification strategy, technical roadmaps, and cross-team integration approaches.
Required Qualifications
  • At least 8 years of relevant modeling, simulation, system performance, flight dynamics, or controls experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Advanced MATLAB and Simulink experience developing dynamic models, analysis tools, or closed-loop simulations.
  • Experience with model integration, interface definition, numerical analysis, verification, validation, and configuration management.
  • Ability to reduce simulation results into defensible technical conclusions, reports, and review material.
  • Ability to work full-time on site in Northridge, California.
  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance if required by the program; an active clearance is not required at hire.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Missile, guided weapon, flight vehicle, interceptor, seeker, or other aerospace/defense modeling experience.
  • Experience with six-degree-of-freedom architecture, Monte Carlo infrastructure, model correlation, and uncertainty characterization.
  • Stateflow, Aerospace Blockset, Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder, or related MathWorks tool experience.
  • Working knowledge of C/C++, Python, Linux, data pipelines, and simulation automation.
  • Experience with model-based systems engineering, requirements traceability, or digital engineering environments.
  • Experience supporting software-in-the-loop, processor-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, laboratory, ground, or flight test activities.
