Multi-Domain Sensing Engineer/Model Simulation Analyst

Job description

Space Systems Integration (SSI) is a fast-growing engineering company that provides aerospace solutions to a variety of government and commercial customers. Our employees are forward-thinking, self-directed individuals who are committed to solving our customers’ technical challenges. 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%.
