Physics Simulation Python Jobs in Woodbridge, VA

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: The Modeling & Simulation Engineer supports testing and analysis by creating high fidelity models of radar physics, signal propagation, and sensor performance. This role focuses on developing and executing simulations related to electromagnetic wave behavior, radar target interactions, and advanced signal processing algorithms. The engineer will analyze complex technical data sets and build software-based representations of radar systems.

Key Responsibilities: Develop and maintain physics based models of radar wave propagation, including atmospheric effects, clutter, multipath, and target interactions. Build high fidelity target and scene models to support radar performance assessments. Design, implement, and evaluate radar signal processing algorithms, including waveform modeling, pulse compression, Doppler processing, and detection/tracking logic.

Create kinematic models derived from flight profiles or mission scenarios to simulate target motion and sensor engagement. Develop models for airborne, ground based, or maritime platform sensors, including radar, RF payloads, and supporting subsystems. Conduct simulations to assess radar detection performance, false alarm behavior, tracking accuracy, and environmental sensitivity.

Analyze large and complex technical data sets; derive trends and performance metrics. Produce clear and compelling data visualization products to communicate analytical results to technical and non-technical audiences. Support verification and validation activities by comparing simulation outputs with test data.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to refine system requirements and support design trade studies.MINIMUM SKILLS/ QUALIFICATIONS: Department of Defense (DoD) Top Secret security clearance* required at time of hire. 5 years' experience in the below areas.
