Voyager Technologies is seeking a Systems Engineer IV to contribute to the design, development, and analysis of control systems and simulation architectures for propulsion and aerospace systems. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on high-fidelity modeling, algorithm development, and performance assessments in support of solid rocket motors and controllable solids technologies.
Key responsibilities include developing high-fidelity models and control algorithms for propulsion, flight control, and guidance subsystems; creating system simulation architectures to enable design iteration, verification, and validation; and performing controllability studies to assess system behavior under perturbations. You will define control system topologies, support gain tuning methodology, and conduct system-level performance assessments using Monte Carlo, sensitivity, and parametric studies.
The role emphasizes physics-based modeling of mechanical, thermal, and aerodynamic systems, ballistics modeling, and propulsion system performance analysis. You will develop and validate models of actuation systems for propulsion control and dynamic mechanisms, supporting integration into closed-loop control architectures. Additional responsibilities include aiding customers in developing mission concepts of operations and requirements through propulsion system modeling and controls design, developing estimation techniques to improve model accuracy, and extending modeling capability in state-space and modern control methods.
This position requires increasing independence and technical ownership, working closely with other engineering disciplines, project teams, and customers. The role is part of Voyager's mission to deliver transformative, mission-critical solutions in defense, national security, and space technology.
