This role involves translating stakeholder questions into physics-based analyses and designing experiments using mission-level simulations to quantify technology success. You will employ the scientific method to develop model-driven analysis, including platform modeling for aero, fuel, and signatures, as well as payload modeling for radar, communications, and weapons. Required skills include proficiency in Python, MATLAB, and Simulink, with preferred experience in AFSIM scripting, signal processing, and RF propagation. The work addresses complex defense problems including Offensive/Defensive Counter-Air, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, and Long Range Fires, providing asymmetric advantages through advanced autonomy, perception products, and simulation capabilities to support rapid development and deployment initiatives.

What you'll do

  • Develop model-driven analyses and the underlying models using the scientific method.
  • Translate stakeholder questions into physics-based analyses and mission-level simulations.
  • Use internal modeling and simulation capabilities to provide a competitive advantage over rivals.
  • Generate clear analytical artifacts and summaries for internal program teams and external customers.
  • Quantify how technology delivers mission success during demonstration events.
  • Lead operations analysis studies from initial problem definition through to final report generation.
  • Model platform characteristics including aero, fuel, and signature data.
  • Model payload characteristics including radar, EOIR, communications, or weapons systems.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in a relevant Science or Engineering field.
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Proficiency in modeling and scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, and Simulink.
  • Demonstrated experience in Platform MS&A (aero, fuel, and signature modeling) and Payload MS&A (radar, EOIR, communications, or weapons).
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills to convey complex technical information to diverse audiences.
  • Working knowledge of domains such as OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Long Range Fires.
  • 8+ years of experience in a relevant Science or Engineering field, or equivalent advanced academic experience (MS, Ph.D.) (preferred).
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret security clearance (preferred).
