Camgian is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to lead the integration of modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities across Camgian's product development lifecycle. This role is first and foremost a systems engineering position, with responsibility for translating mission needs into system architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification approaches, and model-based engineering artifacts.
The successful candidate will also bring substantial professional experience in modeling and simulation, including the development and integration of realistic physics-based models, synthetic operational environments, and simulation-based test and evaluation. The position will work across software, AI/ML, systems engineering, test, and program teams to reduce technical risk, improve development velocity, and provide credible mission-level evaluation of Camgian capabilities.

- Strong quantitative background in mathematics, statistics, operations research, physics, or related disciplines
- Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- Active or recent DoD security clearance
Key Responsibilities
- Lead systems engineering for modeling and simulation capabilities, ensuring simulation objectives, interfaces, assumptions, and verification criteria trace to mission and product requirements
- Develop and maintain MBSE artifacts that connect operational concepts, system architecture, interfaces, behavior, requirements, and verification activities
- Define and integrate simulation capabilities across the development lifecycle, from component and AI/ML model evaluation through system integration, regression testing, and mission-effectiveness analysis
- Develop, integrate, or oversee physics-based models of BLUE-force sensors and effectors and RED-force air and missile threats, including UAS, manned aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles
- Design representative BLUE-on-RED scenarios and scalable synthetic environments, including LVC and distributed simulation architectures where appropriate
- Establish simulation interoperability using DIS, HLA, and other applicable data/interface standards; integrate simulation with software, C2, sensor, and AI/ML components
- Plan and execute model verification, validation, accreditation support, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty characterization, and simulation-result analysis
- Use simulation results to identify system limitations, quantify technical risk, support trade studies, and recommend risk-reduction activities
- Coordinate across Systems Engineering, software, AI/ML, test, product, and program stakeholders to ensure modeling and simulation supports engineering decisions rather than operating as a standalone activity
- Guide development of simulation architecture, model fidelity, scenario complexity, instrumentation, and data collection appropriate to the engineering question being evaluated
