Responsibilities

• Carry out studies supporting requirements definition, concept of employment (CONEMP) evaluation, operational and cost effectiveness, and military utility assessments.
• Translate mission-level insight into engineering design decisions by participating in architecture trade studies and system performance optimization.
• Create physics-based models of government & other military systems, leveraging domain expertise and engineering judgement to ensure accuracy and relevance.
• Serve as a subject matter expert in mission employment, end-to-end kill chain modeling, and emerging air- and ground-based threat systems.
• Prepare and present clear technical briefings to executive leadership, customers, and stakeholders.
• Contribute to internal team development and growth, process improvement, and long-term analytical strategy.
• Support the Director of Operations Analysis in shaping strategic vision, hiring, and meeting business objectives.
• Aid in technical proposal development and new business capture.
• Perform other duties, as assigned.

Requirements

• Master’s Degree in Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics plus 8+ years of relevant experience in operations analysis, mission design, or weapon system development.
• Proven experience with USG modeling and simulation tools such as AFSIM, SUPRESSOR, BRAWLER, STORM, RADGUNS, VTK, STK, or similar.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C++, or comparable programming languages.
• Working knowledge of OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Long-Range Fires missions.
• Able to plan, prioritize, and execute complex analytical tasks with minimal oversight.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills – able to translate mission insight into clear, actionable recommendations for technical and executive audiences.
• Demonstrated leadership and collaboration skills, with the ability to guide small teams and integrate across engineering and analysis domains.
• Passion for national defense, mission-driven technology, and solving complex problems that directly impact the warfighter.
• Willingness to travel in support of program reviews, testing, or customer engagements.

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Experience with campaign-level simulation environments.
• Prior AFSIM plug-in development experience.
• Expertise in Electronic Warfare, Precision Navigation and Timing, EO/IR sensors, and/or Platform Survivability.
• Experience in proposal development, customer engagements, or new business capture.
• Prior experience working with sensitive, classified areas and programs.
• Prior military service, operational planning, or joint staff experience a strong plus – practical experience with doctrine, joint operations, force planning, or combatant command requirements.
• Desire to shape analytical culture and capability within a rapidly growing, mission-focused organization.

Citizenship/Security Clearance

U.S. Citizenship required. Current/active U.S. DoD Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility. Preference toward candidates with current/prior Special Access Program (SAP) experience.
