• Experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience
• Experience creating hydrodynamic databases from water tunnel test, wind tunnel test, or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Experience in sea trials test planning for performance, stability and control, and propulsive load characterization
• Experience extracting hydrodynamic coefficients from test data
• Liaise with other engineering functions (structures, GNC, propulsion, controls, payloads) to diagnose and remediate design issues
• Experience building computational meshes for CFD analysis
• Proficiency with scientific computing systems (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink) and scientific Python (e.g., NumPy, SciPy)
• Familiarity with C++ and/or Python
• Experience with Subsea vehicles and/or aerospace/aeronautical systems (including rotorcraft/VTOL)
• Experience with developing sub-system and system level models (undersea vehicles, air vehicles, ground vehicles, ground based sensors and other types of complex systems)
• Experience with model development to support Guidance, Navigation and Control algorithm development
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop simulation tools in order to understand how our subsea products perform in a variety of scenarios
• Develop and implement hydrodynamic modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities that capture appropriate data during testing so that models can be updated and validated
• Rapidly iterate on M&S capabilities during test periods; collaborating with the GNC team to maximize field test
• Simulate and Test data analysis tools and processes
• Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop
• Work with multi-disciplinary subject matter experts to understand and adequately model pertinent sub-system, system, and system of system dynamics
• Work with internal and external customers to understand simulation requirements and develop efficient modeling and simulation solutions

Preferred Qualifications

• Expertise in modeling and simulating complex hydrodynamic systems in marine environments
• Advanced proficiency with C++
• Experience with computer programs used to analyze wave interactions such as WEC-Sim and WAMIT
• Experience with SITL and HITL simulation infrastructure design, development and deployment for complex systems
• Experience with developing emulated/simulation interfaces for on-board avionics
