  • Collaborate with engineering teams and product managers to translate operational findings into actionable system insights.
  • Perform trade studies and sensitivity analyses to assess system performance across varying operational conditions, assumptions, and threat environments.
  • Build, modify, and analyze mission-level models using tools such as AFSIM, STK, MATLAB, Python, or similar M&S frameworks.
  • Analyze force-on-force engagements, sensor performance, and autonomy-enabled behaviors to support mission effectiveness assessments.
  • Engage with DoD stakeholders, operators, and analysts to understand mission needs and operational constraints.
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of concepts of operations (CONOPS) for AI-enabled aircraft capabilities.
  • Monitor emerging threats and operational challenges relevant to autonomous and air combat systems.
  • Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders. 
  • Apply modern compute and development best practices (e.g., version control, scripting, scalable compute workflows, and reproducible analysis) to build and maintain reliable analysis pipelines.
  • Be a force multiplier by coaching and developing incoming talent.
  • Required qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering or math domain.
  • 9+ years of experience in operational analysis, modeling & simulation, operations research, or related defense or aerospace roles.
  • Active Secret at a minimum.  Preferred Top-Secret clearance (or ability to obtain one).
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
  • Preferred qualifications:

  • Prior experience in force-on-force analysis, CONOPS development, or military campaign modeling.
  • Experience with evaluating strategic development and analysis goals for multi-mission/multi-domain applicability.
  • Familiarity with DoD acquisition processes, tools (Brawler, ESAMS, etc.), Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), and military operational testing.
  • Experience leading a product effort from pre-shaping to tactical deployment
  • Prior experience in systems engineering product development lifecycle (SysML or MBSE preferred)
  •  Experience developing technical expertise in a team to execute analyses for system design and analysis.
