Network Modeling & Simulation Engineer

Responsibilities

The Analyst will lead and conduct advanced analysis of Command, Control, and Communications (C3) architectures, information exchange pathways, and network-enabled mission workflows across current and future DoW systems.

The analyst will conceptualize, design, and evaluate new technology integration concepts, representing complex architectures through clear, digestible products for senior decision-makers.

• Develop digital architectural representations
• Integrate emerging capabilities into mission-level simulations
• Perform detailed modeling and simulation (M&S) analyses to assess operational impacts, system performance, resilience, and technical feasibility
• Guide concept maturation
• Synchronize network/architecture products with joint kill chain frameworks
• Contribute expertise across Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Global Fires, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2)

Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, operations research, computer science, engineering, or related technical field
• 7+ years of experience analyzing complex systems, operational architectures, or C3/IAMD/JADC2 mission threads
• Demonstrated experience developing architecture artifacts for future system integration
• Proven experience leading or conducting Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (M&S) using quantitative tools
• Ability to convert operational concepts into digital or simulation-based representations
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical ideas to senior non-technical audiences
• Ability to work fully onsite at SPA HQ (Alexandria, VA)

Desired

• Master’s degree in mathematics, operations research, computer science, engineering, or related field
• Subject matter expertise in Kill Chains, C3, Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Global Fires, or JADC2
• Experience modeling in AFSIM, ArcherEye, STORM, Command PE, or similar mission-level M&S tools
• Experience developing concepts of employment (CONEMP), information flow models, or network risk assessments
