• Develop and integrate mission-level and system-level performance models, algorithms, and simulations of missiles, interceptors, sensors, threats, and command-and-control systems
• Perform operations and behavior analysis, mission effectiveness studies, and assess architecture alternatives for delivering an effect or capability within a broader campaign, including end-to-end engagement and campaign-level assessments
• Implement algorithms and analysis scripts in MATLAB, Python, C/C++ or similar tools to support constructive and real-time simulations
• Build operationally relevant scenarios to assess end-to-end performance against representative air and missile threats
• Perform trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and design of experiments to quantify performance, robustness, and mission utility
• Document assumptions, methods, and results in clear technical reports and present findings to project teams and technical reviewers

Basic Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship is required
• Active US Government Secret security clearance
• Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline (Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering; Physics; Applied Mathematics; Computer Science; etc.) and 12 years of related experience in modeling and simulation or operations analysis; or Master's degree and 10 years; or Ph.D. and 8 years
