## About the Role

Do you love diving deep into multi-physics calculations, exploring design limits, and technical trade space to verify whether an integrated system will perform in a complex operational environment?

Are you searching for technically challenging work that directly bolsters the credibility of our nation's strategic deterrent? Are you passionate about first-principles engineering analysis over routine process management?, * Possess a BS in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related physical engineering discipline.

 * Have 2+ years of professional experience performing hands-on engineering design analysis, numerical modeling, or multi-physics calculations on complex physical systems.
 * Are skilled in analyzing system engineering technical trade space, interface tolerances, and environmental survivability parameters.
 * Have a working knowledge of Systems Engineering methods and practical familiarity with MBSE principles and Cameo Enterprise Architect / MagicDraw.
 * Are willing and able to travel periodically (approximately 5-10%), including visits to sponsor sites, test ranges, and contractor facilities.
 * Hold an active Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain TS/SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

 * Have 5+ years of professional experience performing hands-on engineering design analysis, numerical modeling, or multi-physics calculations on complex physical systems.
 * Have an MS in a physical engineering discipline, maintaining an active, hands-on modeling and design analysis focus.
 * Hold an active Top Secret security clearance or TS/SCI.
 * Have experience with reliability engineering, nuclear surety, or specialty engineering disciplines applied to strategic missiles, reentry systems, or launch platforms.
 * Have experience supporting Navy Strategic Systems Programs (such as Trident II D5) or Air Force strategic deterrent programs.

## Description

* Your primary responsibility will be to perform first-principles engineering calculations and detailed physical design analyses across integrated mechanical, electrical, thermal, nuclear, or fluid subsystems.
 * You will execute quantitative trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and margin evaluations to assess physical system behavior under harsh operational and threat environments.
 * You will identify systemic design vulnerabilities and cross-discipline interface conflicts, providing data-driven recommendations to guide system design and hardware realization.
 * You will link physical analysis results and design constraints back into the digital engineering baseline, collaborating with systems engineers utilizing Cameo Enterprise Architect / MagicDraw.
