About the role

Pursue a career at Parsons where you can thrive, work with exceptional people, and be yourself. Guided by our leadership vision of valuing people, embracing agility, and fostering growth, we cultivate an innovative culture that empowers you to achieve your full potential.

Responsibilities

• Leading the design, development, and integration of C2 modeling and simulation assets that accurately represent threat C2 behavior for BMD and ASAT scenarios.
• Implementing and enhancing C2 algorithms, decision logic, and software interfaces using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C++, or similar platforms to support comprehensive threat system simulations.
• Developing scenarios, conducting trade studies, and performing sensitivity analyses to evaluate C2 impacts on threat capabilities, timelines, and overall system performance.
• Documenting modeling assumptions, system architectures, and results; preparing technical reports, configuration documentation, and briefings for government stakeholders.
• Providing technical leadership for C2 simulation efforts, including coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, tracking technical progress, and engaging directly with customers to define and meet C2 M&S requirements.

Requirements

• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• Must have an active Secret clearance and be able to obtain/maintain a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance with Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph.

Desired Skills

• Experience serving as a technical lead for C2 simulation projects, including task planning, coordination, and technical decision-making over multi-year efforts.
• Background supporting intelligence community or missile defense organizations, including BMD, ASAT, and SAM mission and acquisition-related analyses.
• Familiarity with missile defense architectures, threat system representations, and verification/validation of C2 and system-of-systems M&S.
• Knowledge of AI/ML techniques and their application within C2 threat systems.
• Proficiency with software engineering best practices (e.g., configuration management, Git, automated testing) and experience working in Linux, high-performance computing (HPC), or distributed simulation environments.
• Experience collaborating with radar, sensor, and weapon M&S teams to ensure consistent representation of threat systems within integrated C2-centric simulations.
