Senior Systems Analyst

We have an immediate opening for a Senior Systems Analyst who will support USAF Program Acquisition Element Command, Control, Communications, Battle Management (PAE C3BM) and the Homeland Air Defense Mission Integration Team (HAD MIT) at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.

Position Description:

The Senior Systems Analyst will lead assigned operational analysis, mission integration, and technical efforts in support of USAF Homeland Air Defense initiatives. This senior-level position is instrumental in developing and applying the Homeland Air Defense Design Reference Mission (DRM) to understand end-to-end Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mission execution, identify operational and system integration gaps, and inform USAF capability development and acquisition activities.

The position requires deep knowledge of IAMD operations, command and control, battle management, and joint mission execution, combined with the ability to lead multidisciplinary technical efforts involving operators, systems engineers, architects, modelers, acquisition organizations, and test organizations. The successful candidate will translate warfighter operational concepts and mission needs into clear direction for engineering and modeling teams and ensure technical products accurately represent operational reality.

Requirements

• Demonstrated operational, planning, mission engineering, or technical experience with Integrated Air and Missile Defense, air defense, joint air operations, or closely related command-and-control missions.
• Strong understanding of IAMD operational concepts, battle management processes, command-and-control relationships, and engagement execution.
• Experience analyzing complex mission threads involving combinations of sensors, C2/BMC2 systems, communications networks, tactical data links, and weapon systems.
• Working understanding of air/missile threat characterization, the integration required to conduct analysis, correlation, and fusion of multi-source intelligence and sensor information to conduct IAMD planning and execution.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and multidisciplinary teams involving multiple Government and technical organizations.
• Ability to translate operational mission needs and warfighter concepts into actionable direction for systems engineering, architecture, modeling, and technical analysis teams.
• Working familiarity with systems engineering, mission engineering, architecture, requirements development, or MBSE sufficient to effectively direct and review technical work.
• Ability to facilitate technical and operational working groups and communicate effectively across operational, engineering, acquisition, and leadership communities.
• Recent/9+ years experience with IAMD, air defense, joint air operations, C3BM, mission integration, or related warfighting concepts and execution.
