Find & Apply For Energy Engineer Jobs in Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

Job Description Help for Job Description. Opens a new window. This position will work in a team environment to design and develop test and evaluation systems for guided missile seekers for the United States Air Force and friendly allies. Our facility is one of a kind where we utilize 6DOF flight tables in a Hardware In The Loop (HITL) simulated environment to test infrared systems. When US air to air to air to ground munitions are designed or upgraded, they must pass our test!

Duties:

• Provide senior level expertise to resolve moderately to very challenging problems in the area of responsibility. Work independently in nearly all cases with rare need to consult with principal level expertise on problems of exceptional difficulty.
• Provide support to design and develop multispectral synthetic target, backgrounds, and environments for real-time scene rendering. Multispectral environments include EO, IR, UV, RF and MMW.
• Provide imaging and HITL subject matter expertise to facility engineers and provide technical advice on complex modeling issues.
• Identify and convert source data to multi-spectral synthetic target databases for subsequent rendering.
• Must be proficient in FLITES v2 and MODTRAN to develop, modify, verify and validate IR signature predictions codes.
• Design, modify, implement, operate, validate and interface computer-generated image rendering systems and software. These images are produced by PC-based image generation systems and transmitted through the resistor array system controllers to the resistor array scene projectors for real-time HITL simulations.
• Create, modify and delete targets and backgrounds for specific imaging systems.
• Model environmental phenomenology for realistic presentation of adverse weather conditions.
• Incorporate realistic countermeasure models for presentation to guided weapons systems.
• Develop and maintain databases and target models to be used in HITL simulations of imaging systems.
• Integrate simulation software and hardware components to form a working simulation, as well as troubleshoot and repair existing simulations.
• Must be proficient in FORTRAN, MATLAB/Simulink, C, and C++ to develop and modify software written in MATLAB, C and C++.
• Must be familiar with CFD data sets to support development and incorporation of CFD solution into real-time rendering software suitable for use in the

GWEF HITL.

Education/Experience:

• Either a minimum of a MS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position and a minimum of ten years of senior level experience in development of real-time synthetic target models for use in the HITL simulations for guided munition and IRCM systems;
• Or BS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, physics, mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position and a minimum of thirteen years of senior level experience in development of HITL simulations for guided munition and IRCM systems.
• Must have in-depth knowledge of the theories, principles and practices of HITL simulator design and extensive hands-on experience applying that knowledge utilizing our USAF framework.
