A Data Scientist utilizes skills and experience to systematically answer questions using data to provide actionable recommendations. Commonly utilizes advanced statistical analysis and machine learning techniques. Common responsibilities also include data cleaning and data management.
Modeling and Simulation Engineer Job Position Overview Synovix is seeking two experienced Modeling and Simulation Engineers to support an on-site missile and weapon systems program for a defense customer in Northridge, California. The engineers will build, integrate, verify, and apply high-fidelity digital models and simulations used for design trades, performance prediction, algorithm development, and qualification evidence. What You Will Do Develop and maintain high-fidelity MATLAB/Simulink models and simulations for missile and weapon system design and performance analysis. Model and integrate six-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, actuators, sensors, environments, threats, targets, and subsystem interfaces. Plan and execute deterministic studies, design-of-experiments activities, sensitivity analyses, and Monte Carlo campaigns. Verify and validate model behavior against requirements, analytical results, or test data. Integrate simulations with GNC, embedded software, and
SIL/PIL/HIL
environments. Define simulation architecture, model governance, verification strategy, technical roadmaps, and cross-team integration approaches. Required Qualifications At least 8 years of relevant modeling, simulation, system performance, flight dynamics, or controls experience. Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or a closely related technical discipline. Advanced MATLAB and Simulink experience developing dynamic models, analysis tools, or closed-loop simulations. Experience with model integration, interface definition, numerical analysis, verification, validation, and configuration management. Ability to reduce simulation results into defensible technical conclusions, reports, and review material. Ability to work full-time on site in Northridge, California. U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance if required by the program; an active clearance is not required at hire. Preferred Qualifications Missile, guided weapon, flight vehicle, interceptor, seeker, or other aerospace/defense modeling experience. Experience with six-degree-of-freedom architecture, Monte Carlo infrastructure, model correlation, and uncertainty characterization. Stateflow, Aerospace Blockset, Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder, or related MathWorks tool experience. Working knowledge of C/C++, Python, Linux, data pipelines, and simulation automation. Experience with model-based systems engineering, requirements traceability, or digital engineering environments. Experience supporting software-in-the-loop, processor-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, laboratory, ground, or flight test activities.
