Modeling and Simulation Engineer, Lead

The Opportunity:

As an experienced Modeling and Simulation Engineer, you know that machine learning, modeling, and simulations are critical to intelligence analysis, planning, and force design. We need your technical knowledge and desire to problem-solve in support of wargaming and cyber intelligence activities, and to inform force design decisions. As a Modeling and Simulation Engineer in support of our National Security Sector, you’ll develop and execute modeling and simulation functions to support exercises, wargames, and cyber operations planning. You’ll use and adapt modeling and simulation tools to analyze resource planning and decision-making during wargames, lead efforts to design and assess new tools and methods for cyber exercise scenarios, support post-execution analysis to refine and improve future wargaming and force design activities or develop complex decision-support tools to enhance modeling and simulation capabilities in support of force design and resource planning.

In this role, you’ll own and define the direction of mission-critical solutions. You’ll be part of a large community of machine learning and data engineers across the firm, and you’ll collaborate with cyber defense professionals across the DoD to deliver world-class solutions to real-world problems. Your advanced consulting and extensive technical expertise will guide clients as they navigate the landscape of ML algorithms, tools, and frameworks.
