Employee ownership, generous 401K, full health/dental/life/vision insurance benefits, interesting assignments, educational reimbursement, competitive salaries and a pleasant work environment combine to make Radiance Technologies a great place to work and succeed.\nRadiance is looking for support that will help with the execution and analysis of rocket-based propulsion system designs and their associated exhaust plume characteristics. Staff will leverage Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force (JANNAF) community standard software as well as in-house analysis tools to develop inputs and model solutions for the rocket propulsion performance metrics for identified target systems of interest, as well as using these solutions to initialize exhaust plume flowfield and radiometric signature predictions. Other responsibilities will include establishing benchmark cases, executing the appropriate suite of modeling tools, and validating the results against available measurements. Modeling studies will conclude with technical reports and briefings to team members, customers and other stakeholders.. The work is in support of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Work location will be at NASIC, Radiance facilities, or some combination of both.\nRequired Experience:\n5+ years of experience with infrared sensor data to include sensor characterization, data analysis, sensor modeling, and/or development of algorithms.\nKnowledge of rocket combustion and propulsion system characteristics\nKnowledge of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and radiation transport fundamentals\nKnowledge and experience in infrared sensor data collection and processing\nRequired Skills:\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, or other related technical field\nActive TS/SCI clearance\nProficient with engineering codes to include Matlab, Python and/or IDL\nAbility to work independently or in a team environment\nStrong technical writing and oral communication skills\nSharp technical curiosity\nDesired Qualifications:\nExperience working with intelligence community and/or DoD classified sensor data\nExperience with the JANNAF propulsion-related software suite\nExperience with modeling hypersonic flows\nUnderstanding of PIR exploitation software such as Palette, Purveyor, etc\nRadiance Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2684,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["National Security","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T20:48:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:3","urgency","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/radiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/radiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T02:46:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3893,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1845002},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1845002"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fradiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fradiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fradiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/radiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fradiance-technologies-rocket-propulsion-system-and-plume-flowfield-modeling-support"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3420447}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"radiancetech.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3420447},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
