The posting

This position is for a senior-level aerospace engineer within the Flight Systems Department as part of the Defense Sector at Leidos. Engineers support development, analysis, and testing of complex flight systems, such as the AGM-190/A Small Cruise Missile, DoW Low Cost Containerized Munition, multiple hypersonic Missile programs, and other rapid development efforts

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Create and/or maintain 6-DOF, 3-DOF, and/or hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations by incorporating aerodynamic & propulsion models, Guidance/Navigation/Control (GNC) algorithms, and other features to accurately characterize the performance, flight dynamics, and mission effectiveness of flight vehicles.
  • Conduct accurate, timely, detailed analysis of flight vehicle dynamics. This may include Monte Carlo analysis, trajectory optimization, parameteric sweeps, or other techniques to support design decisions, conduct trade studies, assess system reliability, support mission planning operations, prepare for live flight test events, characterize system performance, and conduct other analysis as needed to support design teams.
  • Provide accurate assessments of technical results to program managers, external customers, and/or stakeholders to support design decisions and ensure mission success
  • Lead a small team of junior M&S engineers. Determine necessary sim requirements, delegate tasks to team, review work for accuracy, communicate with program leadership, and other actions as necessary to successfully support program.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including aerodynamics, propulsion, mechanical design, avionics, software, and others to ensure system design satisfies mission requirements.
  • Support live flight-test events, including planning, on-site test support, telemetry collection, and post-flight analysis.
  • Develop, upgrade, or use scripts, GUIs, or other utilities to support analysis and programmatic efforts.

Basic Qualifications:

  • This position requires a fundamental understanding of aerospace engineering concepts, particularly including flight dynamics, simulation, orbital mechanics, and/or guidance/navigation/controls.
  • Candidate must also possess a solid foundation of programming experience in Matlab/Simulink, C/C++, Python, or other language.
  • Candidate must possess strong technical communication skills and an ability to work both independently and in collaborative team environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering is preferred but not required. Special consideration is made for applicable experience in lieu of advanced degree.
  • Familiarity with DOW digital engineering paradigm and experience
  • Prior work with post-flight data analysis
  • Experience with flight system development programs
  • Strong math skills in the areas of linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, trigonometry, and coordinate transformation
  • Experience with:Conducting Monte Carlo analysis on linux clusters Hardware-in-the-loops simulation architectures Configuration management software, such as Git or Mercurial C++ programming Trajectory analysis tools, such as TAOS or OTIS Using numerical optimization techniques Simulink code-generation GNC applications of flight vehicles, guided munitions, and/or UAS systems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
