Full Job Description
SSI is seeking a Multi-Domain Sensing Engineer/Model Simulation Analyst for a role in Colorado Springs, CO.

This position requires significant technical understanding of MW/MT as well as significant experience with M&S. The candidate must be able to: articulate what missile warning and tracking sensing is needed from tactical to strategic levels, where it needs to go and how fast it needs to get there; employ and develop modeling, simulation, and analysis tools; analyze modeling and simulation results; coordinate internal and external modeling and simulation efforts and provide recommendations on potential improvements to concepts and architectures.

Role and Responsibilities include:
  • Develop target (missile) and effector simulations and corresponding trajectory and behavior files using industry standard M&S tools such as the Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM).
  • Develop modeling and simulation analysis and assessment scripts using government network supportable tools such as Python, and/or Matlab.
  • Develop space-based missile warning access and performance models using industry standard M&S tools such as Systems Tool Kit (STK) or Satellite Orbit Analysis Program (SOAP) and integrate SWAC space-based ISR capability area force designs with modeling and simulation expertise.
  • Assist in force design analysis planning, analysis execution coordination, and analysis results evaluation.
  • Recommend and document force design dependencies and opportunities (joint, intelligence community, industry, international and other government organizations).
  • Assist with modeling inputs and simulation development for external M&S efforts.
  • Collaborate in cross-functional planning, coordination and task execution involving the full spectrum of systems engineering and integration activities for a force design effort.
  • Coordinate efforts internally and externally with multiple agencies/organizations.


Required Qualifications:

  • Min. 10 years of experience with BS degree, 8 years with Masters degree.
  • Demonstrated experience developing complex space system models and simulations in AFSIM is a must. Additional experience with industry standard tools such as STK and/or SOAP is highly desired.
  • Demonstrated experience developing simulation scripts and interface code using government supportable software languages such as Python, and/or Matlab.
  • 5+ years of space system modeling and simulation experience including analyzing modeling and simulation results.
  • In depth understanding of MW/MT systems and operations.
  • STEM bachelor's degree (master's preferred).
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Ability to understand complex technical issues and produce recommendations for a wide audience.
  • Have a background of applying analytical problem solving at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war across multiple DoD organizations.
  • Ability to apply a variety of analysis techniques to identify operational shortfalls of U.S. space capabilities and concepts and make recommendations for future architectures.
  • Ability to quickly create decision-quality materials for senior leaders.
  • Ability to apply critical thinking in complex and dynamic organizational environments.
  • Experience with space design, architecture, and/or system development (desired).
  • Knowledge of how to work in a classified and compartmented working environment is required.
  • Active TS clearance with in-scope T5/SSBI is required, along with SCI eligibility and participation in Continuous Evaluation.
  • Current polygraph (within 5 years) is desired.
  • Must meet all requirements for SCI and SAP access and be willing to undergo a polygraph examination.
  • Travel is 10%.
