Simulation Based Test Engineer
Gibbs & Cox

Job Info

---

Are you passionate about fielding disruptive technologies to save lives and transform industries? Do you have skills that can be applied to test and evaluation of unmanned vehicles and the development and integration of diverse perception systems and autonomous controls? Are you interested in the development of autonomous maritime vessels and the challenges incumbent with persistent, over-the-horizon unmanned operations?

Gibbs & Cox is the largest independent engineering and design firm in the US specializing in naval architecture, marine engineering, management support, and engineering consulting. G&C has been serving government, commercial, and recreational markets worldwide since 1929. The firm is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia with offices in New York City, New Orleans, LA, Newport News, VA, Chesapeake, VA, Philadelphia, PA, Halifax, NS, and Australia.

Position Summary

We seek a self-starting, team-oriented engineer to perform simulation-based Integration and Test activities in support of both R&D and Navy acquisition projects. You should be disciplined and detail-oriented, enjoy modeling and simulation, and collaborate well in a multi-disciplinary environment.

You will be part of a growing team that advances Conditionally Unmanned and Fully Autonomous technologies for military and commercial sea-going vessels, in particular unmanned surface vessels.

Responsibilities

You will perform the following tasks

• Perform simulation-based testing of complex systems in support of development and Integration & Test phases. Test domains include Dynamics & Control, Autonomy, and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulators.
• Develop component simulation models and data inputs using commercial modeling and simulation tools
• Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts in dynamics, autonomy and control to develop simulation-based test and analysis plans. Interpret simulation results and develop test reports
• Execute acceptance tests for evolving versions of the simulators, in collaboration with Subject Matter Experts and simulator developers. Create test and defect reports and review them with project leaders
• Develop, maintain, document, and execute batch process scripting for simulation execution and post-process analysis
• Participate in the development, maintenance, refinement and implementation of internal configuration management and quality control programs

Required Candidate Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience doing the following
  • Collaborating with technical teams to develop test and analysis requirements
  • Performing modeling and simulation of complex dynamics and control systems
  • Automating and scheduling simulation and analysis processes, and interpreting test results
  • Following configuration and data management procedures
  • Troubleshooting errors (hardware, software, and simulation )
  • Developing test plans and test reports
• Good time management capabilities - able to both pace workload and provide feedback to leads on task progress. Eagerness to improve efficiency and streamline work procedures.
• Excellent attention to detail and rigorous testing methodology
• Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills
• B.S. or higher in degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Software, or Physics or industry equivalent experience.
• Active U.S. Secret clearance or the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret clearance

Desired Candidate Qualifications:

• Experience using Matlab, Simulink, and Python
• Familiarity with network systems and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
• Experience supporting Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment processes
