Modeling and Simulation Engineer (Optical)
Furientis, Los Angeles, CA
The role
America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
You build the team's real-time, physics-based engagement simulation and the target signature models used in it. You also build the end-to-end performance model from photon to processed image. That model predicts what the seeker will see before the hardware is designed or purchased. After every test and flight, it accounts for the difference between that prediction and the measured data. You work in tight partnership with the Seeker Data and Tooling Engineer, who builds the training-data pipeline and the compute under that simulation.
