Job Description
You don't see it, but it's there. Our employees work on the world's most advanced electronics - from saving emissions in the City of Lights to powering the Mars Rover to protecting the F-35 fighter jet. At Electronic Systems, you'll be among the brightest minds, working on the aerospace and defense industry's most difficult problems. Drawing strength from our differences, we're innovating for the future. And you can, too.
Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our missions: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®" and "We Innovate For Those Who Move The WorldTM." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with us.
We are seeking a Systems Engineer with deep software expertise to join our Electronic Warfare system modeling team. In this role, you will design, build, and maintain high-fidelity simulation frameworks that run actual production EW software against emulated hardware and synthetic RF environments. You will work at the intersection of systems engineering, signal processing, and software development - contributing to a digital-twin-style capability that supports algorithm development, performance analysis, and iterative validation.
Key Responsibilities
You will be working on a majority greenfield modeling capability at the core of EW system development, not primarily maintaining legacy tooling, but building the infrastructure that future algorithm development and system validation will depend on. The technical problems span low-level systems programming, physics simulation, and distributed software architecture.

You will work at the intersection of systems engineering, signal processing, and software development - contributing to a digital-twin-style capability that supports algorithm development, performance analysis, and iterative validation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain containerized simulation pipelines that execute production EW software modules against simulated hardware and environmental inputs
- Build and extend RF simulation components including platform kinematics, sensor/effector models, propagation physics, and event-driven interaction frameworks
- Transition and integrate signal processing algorithms (e.g., from MATLAB or legacy codebases) into microservice-based simulation architectures
- Implement CI/CD pipelines supporting automated testing, simulation regression, and artifact generation
- Develop hardware/firmware emulation layers at appropriate fidelity levels (probabilistic and detailed signal path)
- Contribute to Monte Carlo and parameter sweep workflows for performance envelope analysis
- Collaborate with algorithm developers and systems engineers to validate simulation outputs against analytical references and measured data
You will be working on a majority greenfield modeling capability at the core of EW system development, not primarily maintaining legacy tooling, but building the infrastructure that future algorithm development and system validation will depend on. The technical problems span low-level systems programming, physics simulation, and distributed software architecture.
Required Education, Experience, & Skills
- BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Strong proficiency in Rust and/or Python for performance-critical systems development
- Experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Docker Compose)
- Familiarity with microservice architectures and inter-process communication (e.g., Protocol Buffers, gRPC, NATS/ZeroMQ)
- Experience with CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI/CD or equivalent)
- Strong fundamentals in algorithms and systems programming
Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills
- Experience with signal processing concepts or RF systems (e.g., radar, EW, communications)
- Familiarity with embedded systems, hardware interfaces, or SWIL/HWIL testing environments
- Exposure to distributed systems concepts (consensus algorithms, sharded architectures)
- Experience with Foreign Function Interfaces (FFIs) for cross-language integration
- Background in mathematics, including linear algebra and probability
