What You’ll Be Doing:

• Facilitate the definition of future concepts for modeling, simulation, and analysis

• Act as a subject matter expert in future concept definition, architecture analyses, and reviewing preliminary results prior to delivery to customer

• Assess MDS threats, capability gaps, challenges, needs and opportunities, and develop potential system mitigations and capability revolutions and evolutions at the architecture level

• Support modeling & simulation (M&S) efforts related to the above, including analysis efforts on DoD High Performance Computing (HPC)

• Develop analysis plans, run M&S to execute the analysis plan, perform analysis on the results, prepare analysis reports, and provide reviews of analysis products

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

• Master’s Degree in STEM Field with 12+ years of experience in missile defense-related or other complex, large DoD program/project

• Active Secret clearance required with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI

• Extensive experience in the modeling, assessment, and evaluation of future missile defense architectures

• Deep understanding of the current MDS architecture and future concepts

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring:

• Active TS/SCI Clearance

• Experience with the definition and use of advanced concepts and algorithms for the M&S of MDS architectures

• Experience with M&S and analysis of MDS architectures involving both directed and kinetic energy weapons and other future concepts

• Ability to develop and use MDS architecture simulations; knowledge of MATLAB and/or Python is a plus, including HPC experience and/or MBSE experience

• Experience supporting systems engineering-related architecture design activities

• Ability to perform technology assessment & analysis and provide insight on the utility of potentially useful technologies

• Experience with multidisciplinary analysis and optimization environments, including analysis of diverse physical phenomena

• Specialized MDS analysis experience in: threat characterization, trajectories, RF sensing/signatures, and/or EO/IR sensing/signatures

• Proven ability to coauthor numerous reports and provide significant contributions to MDS studies and responses to Congress

• Experience with Cyber gaps, mitigations, and future Cyber Architecture development

• Experience serving as a key advisor and collaborating on products that may go outside the Agency, such as DoD, Services, Combatant Commands, industry experts, etc.
