What You'll get to Do:

In this role, you will work with Chief Mission Architect and peer MS&A Systems Engineers in collaborative small team environments to conduct research and analysis, develop models and simulations, and develop and implement algorithms.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and continuously update complex Simulink models for inertial navigation systems (INS) to reflect the latest hardware, software, and algorithm changes, ensuring model fidelity and traceability.

• Conduct detailed analysis of system performance using simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink) to identify potential improvements and verify that all system requirements are met.

• Develop and implement INS algorithms and integrate them into the Simulink environment, maintaining clear interfaces and versioncontrolled libraries.

• Perform regression testing of updated Simulink models, validate results against flighttest data, and generate quantitative reports on model accuracy and stability.

• Analyze simulation data to validate models and algorithms, providing actionable insights into system behavior under a wide range of operating conditions.

• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams (software, hardware, systems engineering) to embed Simulink models within larger system architectures and support hardwareintheloop (HIL) and softwareintheloop (SIL) testing.

• Prepare technical documentation, model change logs, and validation reports to communicate findings, methodologies, and recommendations to stakeholders.

• Stay current with advancements in modeling and simulation technologies (e.g., Simulink202x, ModelBased Design, AUTOSAR) and apply best practices to improve existing INS models.

• Work closely with configurationmanagement and versioncontrol tools (Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab) to ensure Simulink model revisions are properly tracked, reviewed, and released.
