Interceptor Modeling and Simulation

Security Clearance: Active Secret clearance required

Penta Research is currently seeking Modeling and Simulation developers and analysts.

The M&S professional conducts a wide variety of tasks developing, maintaining, and integrating specialized mathematical-based modeling and simulation, as well as analyzing results of mathematical modeling.

Modeling and simulation tasks drive end-to-end performance analysis of elements of the Missile Defense System.

Individual will also participate in the development, updating, and benchmarking/anchoring of M&S tools to support system analysis tasks.

This position is in Huntsville, AL.

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering classification, mathematics, or physics.
• 5-20 years’ experience in an engineering classification.
• Individual must have a demonstrated technical background in numerical modeling and simulation.
• Individual must be able to demonstrate knowledge of building and/or analyzing M&S for one-or-more missile defense-related system types: EO/IR sensors, RF/Radar sensors, kill vehicles, missiles/interceptors, threats & countermeasures, target discrimination, or command and control (e.g., C3I, C4I, etc.).
• Must possess simulation software development experience.
• Individual must possess good oral and written communication skills.
• Capable of working in focused teams or as an independent individual contributor.

• Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.).
