Role Description

**Job Summary** We are seeking a highly motivated Software Developer Intern with Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS / SCI) clearance to join our dynamic team. **Responsibilities** * **High-Fidelity Modeling:** Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors. * **Model Validation:** Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy. * **Risk Reduction \& Requirements:** Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms. * **System Integration:** Create and maintain low-fidelity "surrogate" models that approximate actuator behavior for use in larger, integrated system simulations. * **Study Support:** Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2–3 week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations. * **Simulation Maintenance:** Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment to ensure stability for other project stakeholders. * **Vendor Technical Integration:** Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information, ensuring that behavioral models accurately reflect external hardware and software specifications. * **Technical Versatility:** Act as a flexible resource within a small team, providing overlap and support for other GNC functions as bandwidth requires. * **Communication**: Translate complex simulation data into clear, concise plots and PowerPoint presentations for internal and external stakeholders. **Education / Work Experience:** Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience. ***This position requires a U.S. Citizen who is eligible to obtain any required Export Authorization*** **Mandatory Skills:** * · Expert-level proficiency in **Matlab** and Simulink. * Familiarity with signal processing. * Ability to create and maintain behavioral models that capture the critical aspects of complex electromechanical systems in a manner that is transparent, understandable, and modifiable for other team members. * Communication: Demonstrated ability to communicate technical results through high-quality visualization (plots) and professional presentations. * Experience with high-bandwidth mechatronics and dynamics. * Experience in the research and development of precision pointing systems. * Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and pivot quickly between different technical tasks. * Experience working directly with external vendors and hardware suppliers. * Ability to adapt to diverse vendor-delivered simulation environments and data formats, with the flexibility to operate within varied external workflows. * Familiarity with the transition from high-fidelity research models to low-fidelity flight/system models. Pay: $70\.00 - $85\.00 per hour Benefits: * AD\&D insurance * Dental insurance * Health insurance * Life insurance * Relocation assistance * Vision insurance Work Location: In person
