Job Summary

Please Note:To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations the applicant must be a U.S. citizen lawful permanent resident of the U.S. conditional resident asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

AtCesiumAstro we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites UAVs launch vehicles and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment which allows us to learn develop and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on interactive and autonomous work CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate collaborative energetic and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

In this role a systems engineer is responsible for utilizing commercial modeling and simulation tools to synthesize conceptual aerospace and defense systems into executable digital models to aid multi-disciplined design teams in quickly and accurately evaluating expected performance against design requirements. This candidate will be expected to build expertise across commercial digital modeling and simulation tools in particular leveraging Ansys STK (System Tool Kit) software which delivers a physics-based mission-centric digital design and test environment for analyzing and designing systems across various domains like space air sea and ground missions.

This candidate will be expected to continually expand and build their knowledge and use of this systems modeling and simulation environment while also incorporating external simulation artifacts from other multi-physics modeling and simulation tools commonly utilized by domain-centric design engineering groups such a CFD tools mechanical CAD solutions RF systems design and test tools optics and many other engineering discipline focus areas.

It will be critically important for this candidate to be able to communicate with colleagues across multi-disciplines and help incorporate their designs analysis results and model anticipated system behaviors through a fully integrated digital simulation approach. Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices is highly desired.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Effectively leverage a digital modeling and simulation ecosystem of tools to support the design test validation and verification needs of internal project team leaders.
Proactively identify workflow automations to help establish streamlined processes for repeatable modeling and simulation chains for efficient re-use of established our organizations unique mod/sim techniques.
Support briefings to design team leaders to demonstrate/share results during design review milestones.
Proactively investigate interoperability across existing design tools that our engineering organization leverages and suggest/lead identified improvements to help establish and build our end-to-end digital engineering toolchains.
Working closely with development and engineering design teams to inject digital modeling and simulation tools into their workflows in non-disruptive ways by helping to lead data pipeline integrations automations and routines that increase overall efficiency and shorten design lifecycles.
Collaborating with software developers DevOps and infrastructure teams to ensure application stability and performance.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

A minimum of 2 years of experience with a bachelors degree in aerospace engineering or a related field is required.
Demonstrable experience or familiarity with digital systems engineering methodologies.
Familiarity with STK and its modules (e.g. Astrogator SOLIS TETK) for digital mission engineering is critical.
Knowledge of various operating systems devices and software applications is expected.
Proficiency with common engineering scripting languages (MATLAB Python Javascript and similar).
Familiarity (or ability to gain necessary skills) with general engineering design tools commonly used across disciplines such as Fluids Electronics Thermal Optics and Mechanical tools such as the Ansys tool suites.
Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering practices and languages (SysML)
Proficiency in functional digital systems engineering and understanding of design test review methodologies.
Experience with test case design and execution as well as defect tracking and reporting tools.
Strong understanding of product design/test workflows in a commercial production environment
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret technical data and information and resolve complex issues.
Ability to perform root cause analysis and develop effective solutions.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills are essential for interacting with customers development teams and other stakeholders.
Strong teamwork and collaboration skills to work effectively with diverse teams.
Customer-focused mindset and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Organizational skills to manage workload prioritize tasks and keep track of documentation and records.
Ability to manage simulation and process data management holistically and document configuration changes.
Staying updated with the latest advancements in application design and technology.
