EO/IR Engineering Scientist job in Huntsville, Alabama is available with Moseley Technical Services Top Defense company. In this full time, direct hire, salaried job you will be a subject matter expert supporting the Signatures Integrated Product Team (IPT).

Responsibilities:

• Lead a diverse group of scientists and engineers to provide a comprehensive "toolbox" of software models that represent signature phenomena as viewed by Missile Defense System (MDS) sensors.
• Emphasis is in the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor phenomena, including rocket motor combustion effects, ascent heating physics, heat transfer on the missile and its associated objects in the exo-atmosphere, and re-entry phenomena, including flowfield modeling and wake/ablation characteristics.
• The objective is to determine how/when the different phenomenology models interact, allowing for well-defined interfaces between/among component models.
• Models will run in an off-line digital environment (non-real-time), but the team will also examine ways to provide relevant data from those models to be used in a real-time context.
• Evaluate the most effective tools for a launch/re-entry event and plan how the component tools will run non-real-time or real-time, sequentially or in parallel, to achieve the desired result.
• Present tradeoffs (technical cost/benefit) among the tools and propose an approach to the company and government leadership in a clear and concise manner.

Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizen with active security clearance
• Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Math, Physics, or related fields.
• 8+ years’ experience working with NASA and/or DoD rocket/missile systems, including an emphasis on material properties of heat transfer and EO/IR absorptivity/reflectivity.
• Experience in the development of technical reports and briefing materials.
• Experience with real-time and non-real-time models and simulation. Differences in how models are approached and integrated in the real-time vs. non-real-time environment.
• Experience with EO/IR signatures models, simulations, and their testing.
• Excellent communication skills required as a team lead who presents plans, results, details, and issues to company leadership and the DoD government customer.
• Significant organizational skills required, both writing and presenting materials orally.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Missile Defense System (MDS) weapons and seeker systems
• Experience with (MDS) elements and their primary functions.
• Experience with MDS simulation standards, requirements development, testing, and verification.
• Experience with Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and DoD interface control documents.
• Programming experience with C++, Java, Python, MATLAB, Fortran.
• Linux server systems as well as Windows O/S programming.
