About Chaos

CHAOS Industries builds a multi-product portfolio powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN TM), giving military, commercial, and border teams the ultimate advantage: domain dominance. Backed by Accel and NEA.

About the role

As a Modeling & Simulation Engineer for Missiles, you will develop, integrate, and validate dynamic and closed-loop simulations for guided weapons, interceptors, missiles, and related flight vehicles. Programs may include ground-launched and air-launched weapons, tactical or strategic missiles, cruise missiles, ballistic systems, interceptors, hypersonic vehicles, and other advanced effectors.

What they're looking for

  • Relevant experience in missile or flight-vehicle modeling and simulation, flight dynamics, GNC , trajectory analysis, weapon-system performance, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience developing, integrating, or using 3- DOF or 6- DOF dynamic simulations
  • Strong fundamentals in flight mechanics, rigid-body dynamics, coordinate systems and transformations, numerical integration, control or estimation concepts, and dynamic-system analysis
  • Strong programming ability in at least one scientific or analytical environment such as MATLAB , Python, or C++
  • Experience performing Monte Carlo analysis, error-budget analysis, sensitivity analysis, robustness analysis, uncertainty quantification, or design of experiments
  • Experience validating or correlating dynamic models against analytical references, subsystem-test data, laboratory data, ground-test data, telemetry, flight-test data, range data, or other authoritative sources
