About the position
We are seeking a talented Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our Emerging Technologies Research and Development team. As a Modeling and Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for developing advanced mathematical models and conducting virtual simulations for cutting-edge technologies. Your work will contribute to the exploration of emerging technologies, performance analysis, optimization, and validation of innovative system design for federal government clients. This position's preferred location is Lafayette, LA, Lebanon, VA, Belton, TX, Knoxville, TN, or Fairfax, VA; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable. Due to the nature of this government contract, US Citizenship is required. In this role, you will develop and refine mathematical models for emerging systems by creating sophisticated mathematical representations of novel system architectures, devices, and protocols. You will define system parameters and performance metrics tailored to the research and development of emerging technologies. Additionally, you will conduct simulations of next-generation systems utilizing state-of-the-art simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and advanced simulators to simulate complex environments. Analyzing simulation outcomes will be crucial to evaluate the performance of novel system designs and identify opportunities for optimization. Your responsibilities will also include performing in-depth performance analysis and optimization by evaluating key performance indicators specific to emerging technologies through simulation results. You will collaborate with research teams to optimize system configurations, algorithms, and protocols based on simulation insights. Validating simulation results through experimental validation is another critical aspect of your role, where you will compare results with experimental data and real-world testing, iterating on simulation models based on validation feedback to ensure their applicability to real-world scenarios. Staying at the forefront of modeling and simulation research is essential, as you will need to remain informed about the latest advancements in modeling and simulation techniques for emerging technologies. Exploring innovative tools, methodologies, and research directions will enhance the capabilities and impact of modeling and simulation in the context of emerging technologies.
