Your work will directly translate theoretical mission architectures into quantifiable performance data, accelerating our customers\' ability to make data-driven investment and modernization decisions for the warfighter.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop automated analysis tools and scripts to parse large simulation datasets, enabling sensitivity analysis, trade-space exploration, and the quantification of mission effectiveness.
• Evaluate threat kinematics, sensor-shooter assignments, weapon flyouts, and overall lethality to quantify end-to-end performance across complex Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architectures.
• Synthesize large-scale simulation results into clear, decision-quality insights and recommendations for government leadership to inform future investments and fielding strategies.

Requirements

• Bachelor\'s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related highly technical field.
• 1 to 5 years of applied engineering experience, with a focus on data analysis, modeling, simulation, and analytical tool development.
• Experience with DoW customers, systems, and/or programs.
