Description

Design and develop modeling and simulation architectures for space systems, including satellite platforms, payload integration, ground systems, and orbital mechanics. Perform mission scenario modeling to analyze system performance, operational effectiveness, and capability optimization in contested environments. Utilize advanced M&S tools (e.g., STK, MATLAB, Simulink, AFSIM) to simulate mission scenarios, predict outcomes, and assess system readiness. Conduct trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and assessments to evaluate technologies, configurations, and operational strategies. Develop and implement algorithms for mission planning, situational awareness, and system optimization within a dynamic space environment. Analyze data from simulations and experiments to inform design decisions, reduce risk, and prioritize program requirements. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate M&S solutions into program workflows and decision-making processes. Provide technical expertise for government stakeholders during reviews, audits, and program documentation submissions. Prepare and deliver comprehensive reports, visualization tools, and presentations to communicate analytical findings to program leaders and decision-makers. Stay abreast of emerging technologies, methodologies, and space operational threats to refine and advance M&S capabilities. Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical field (Master's degree preferred). Minimum of 25 years of experience in modeling, simulation, and analysis for space systems, preferably supporting Department of Defense (DoD) or Intelligence Community (IC) programs. Extensive experience utilizing M&S tools for satellite systems, payload performance, ground systems integration, and orbital mechanics. Proven ability to deliver actionable analytical insights to influence technical design decisions and operational strategies. Expertise in M&S platforms such as STK, MATLAB, Simulink, AFSIM, or equivalent tools. Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, or MATLAB) for algorithm development and custom simulation creation. Knowledge of space systems engineering, mission planning, and space domain awareness. Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mathematics, or related disciplines. Certifications in modeling and simulation or relevant analytical fields (e.g., Certified Modeling and Simulation Professional). Experience conducting M&S for advanced technologies, including directed energy systems, autonomous platforms, or multi-domain operations. Familiarity with adversarial threats to space assets, including electronic warfare, cyber threats, and counterspace operations. Knowledge of machine learning, AI techniques, and predictive analytics as applied to space operations modeling.
