Modeling and Simulation Engineer (Entry-Level, Associate, Experienced)

Modeling and Simulation Engineer (Entry-Level, Associate, Experienced)

Company:

The Boeing Company

Job Description

The Boeing Space & Launch team is seeking a Modeling and Simulation Engineer for development projects in El Segundo, CA. The Space and Launch Team creates the next generation products and services for the BDS business unit. We work with proprietary customers in the development of the next-generation technologies in space. This position focuses on system analysis involving production of models and simulations to support business needs, as well as the design of constellations to support proprietary missions.

Our group works all facets of engineering from technology investment, concept development, proposal writing, requirements and design, build, integration, test, and demonstration of products in their relevant environments. You will participate in all phases of the system development life cycle, including concept of operations (ConOps) development, requirements development, analysis and decomposition, software and hardware system design, algorithm design, risk management, integration, test and operations.

The selected candidate will function as a Modeling and Simulation Engineer either assigned as a technical leader in business development or on an active program. This job is a broad customer-oriented position that entails building, executing, and/or presenting system level analysis for space-based systems. The work is often requirements focused and is critical at all stages of program development and execution (i.e. from new business until operations support). Analysis may be general and scheduled (e.g. subsystem or system of systems trade evaluation using existing tools and processes to support design reviews or other program milestones) or it may be to support special needs of individual programs requiring problem definition, problem solving, and (critically) coordination within the system engineering team to establish and justify the best process to model and analyze the situation.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the listed location.

This position requires an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). (A U.S. Security Clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active)

Position Responsibilities:

• Applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop and verify a lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions

• Evaluates customer and /operational needs to define and coordinate system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces

• Performs various analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture

• Performs analyses for affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration to ensure mission success

• Develops the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes

• Resolves cross-functional technical issues

• Interfacing with other system engineers to define and update measures of effectiveness to support system level trades

• Maintaining system level budgets that perform allocation of system requirements and characterize sensitivity to changes in system performance across subsystems

• User and/or developing software tools to enable scheduling of tasks and apportionment of resources at a constellation level for proliferated systems of satellites

• Using and/or developing software tools to enable characterization of system performance through analysis of capacity or availability

• Employing a system level mindset in understanding requirements and performance, enabling the creation of models that are of sufficient complexity for the situation

• Using and/or developing software tools to enable design and analysis of communication systems (including link analysis, modulation and coding).
