Defense Modeling Simulation Jobs in Washington (NOW HIRING)

The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospace's strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The divisionleveragesa broad array of engineering disciplines against a dynamic portfolio of programs, customers, and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space-enabled mission effects.

As a member of the Cross-Mission Effectiveness Department, you will provide technical capabilities to support our customers in modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) of space, air, and ground-based systems of systems to investigate architecture and concept of operations (CONOPS) performance in nominal and contested operating environments. MS&A focus areas include agent-based modeling, red vs blue simulations, militaryutilityand capability drawdown,killchaineffectiveness, enterprise architecture resiliency, and command and control (C2) evaluation. We support a variety of customers with diverse program portfolios, and we are looking for curious and innovative teammates to help us address our customers' hardest problems!

This 100% onsite position can be filled in either ourEl Segundo, CAorChantilly, VAoffices.

WhatYou'llBe Doing

• Represent the Cross-Mission Effectiveness Department as a technical authority in your area(s) of expertise.

• Work closely with our cross-mission integration focused program offices and customers to translate their program needs into modeling, simulation, and analysis solutions.

• Independently plan, lead,and contribute to technicalanalysisprojects.

• Exercise yourexpertisein understanding, modeling, and analyzing enterprise-levelintegratedmissions.

• Use and contribute to the development of in-house and commercial/government-off-the-shelf engineering analysis tools and analysis products.

• Develop and delivertimelyand technicallyaccuratepresentations and reports.

• Mentor junior staff members and contribute to a learning environment where it is encouraged to share ideas and feedback.

• Travel occasionally asrequired.

What You Need to be Successful

MinimumRequirements:
