Job description

Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) Engineer (Senior-Level)

TS/SCI Clearance Required | Support NGA Mission Success

Mission Intelligence Group is seeking a highly skilled Senior Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) Engineer to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the broader National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG). In this role, you will apply advanced modeling, simulation, and analytical techniques to evaluate complex systems, identify trends in large-scale data environments, and help shape the future of GEOINT capabilities. This is an exciting opportunity to influence mission-critical decisions and deliver innovative solutions that directly support national security operations.

Your Role

As a Senior MS&A Engineer, you will lead the development and application of sophisticated modeling and simulation solutions used to analyze NGA architectures, requirements, and system performance. You will work across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments to evaluate alternatives, assess emerging capabilities, and provide data-driven recommendations that improve mission effectiveness. Additionally, you will mentor junior engineers and serve as a trusted technical advisor on complex GEOINT-focused initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and application of complex models, simulations, tools, and algorithms to identify trends and patterns within large-scale data environments.
• Analyze and model NGA architectures, systems, requirements, and performance to support current and future GEOINT capabilities.
• Develop and evaluate analysis of alternatives (AoA), performance trades, and design trade studies to inform technology and mission decisions.
• Create models supporting the assessment and deployment of new capabilities within NSG architectures and cloud-based environments.
• Provide technical recommendations based on simulation and analytical results to improve mission performance.
• Assess solutions operating across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid infrastructures.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, analysts, engineers, and mission partners to define requirements and operational needs.
• Guide and mentor mid-level and junior MS&A engineers, promoting technical excellence and best practices.
