Mission Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Specialist

The Opportunity:

As a Mission Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Specialist you will ensure that technological solutions and component integrations are rigorously modeled and assessed, coordinating efforts across the Command. You will apply advanced analytical methods to help defense organizations evaluate mission performance, emerging capabilities, and operational concepts. You will shape modeling approaches, integrate varied data sources, and generate insights that support mission engineering, experimentation, and decision-making across complex operational environments. You’ll collaborate with analysts, technical partners, and cross-functional teams to refine models, interpret mission outcomes, and communicate analysis that informs operational improvements.

You will help evolve modeling practices, strengthen analytical rigor, and contribute to developing new approaches that enhance mission understanding. Through clear documentation, analytical artifacts, and stakeholder engagement, you will support capability development and advance modeling and simulation tradecraft across the team.
