Jacobs ESSCA Group
Senior Aerospace Simulation Developer
Jacobs ESSCA Group, Huntsville, Alabama, United States, 35824
The Space Exploration Group (JSEG) Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNandC) team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks to design and integrate GNandC systems for NASA projects ranging from NASAs Space Launch System (SLS) to NASAs Human Lander System. We are searching for highly qualified candidates to support NASAs Flight Dynamics Team in the Guidance, Navigation, and Mission Analysis branch at NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center. This exciting work will serve as a critical step in sending humans back to the Moon, Mars and beyond! Job Functions: Analysis of launch vehicle and spacecraft, dynamics, equations of motion, and trajectories to assess performance of spacecraft ascent trajectories, mission analysis, and related studies Modeling ascent and in-space environments, errors, disturbances, GNandC algorithms, sensors, actuators, and mechanisms Simulate and analyze nominal, contingency, and failure scenarios during ascent and in-space flight Develop algorithms and tools to analyze 6 DOF trajectories using Monte Carlo techniques Execute/modify existing software/scripts in C, Python, C++ Help develop and improve NASAs MAVERIC simulation Day to day activities include: Dynamic modeling of 6 DOF single body systems. Creating, editing and debugging software written in C, Python, Matlab, Fortran, and C++. Optimization and improvement of analysis tools and GNandC models. Working with GNandC leads and other engineering disciplines. Supporting the verification and validation of technical products. Creation and review of engineering and software documentation. Preparing and presenting technical reports and briefings.
Job Requirements: (9BJ) A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or related field is required. A degree from an ABET-accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D. with a minimum 19 years of experience; an MS with at least 23 years of experience, or a BS with at least 25 years of experience. (9BL) A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or related field is required. Degree from an ABET-accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D. with a minimum 4 years of experience; an MS with at least 8 years of experience, or a BS with at least 10 years of experience. The candidate is REQUIRED to have the following skills and experiences: C and/or programming experience, preferably both Python programming experience BASH experience Software and simulation integration OR Modeling and simulation experience To be successful in this position, the applicant must be detail oriented, work independently and collaboratively, possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, and will typically possess some of the following skills: Dynamically model 6 DOF single body systems. Matlab, Fortran, C++ programming experience. Familiarity with Linux, Bash, and the use of computational clusters/servers. Support the design, integration, and analysis of GNandC products. Configure, conduct, and analyze 6-DOF Monte Carlo simulations.
