What You Will Get to Do: 
 
As an integral part of the Mission Engineering Section, you will focus on accelerating the delivery of capabilities to our customers through mission studies and system-of-system trades using credible modeling, simulation, experimentation, and analysis processes to assess system architecture alternatives that best deliver the effects, data, and capabilities demanded by tomorrow’s missions.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Perform analysis-of-alternatives and mission architecture trades across offensive and defensive orders of battle, formations, and equipment including laydowns, platforms, and loadouts of sensors, effectors, and weapons as well as communications, command, and control segments among combatants and the impacts of the tactics and strategies used.

• Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) frameworks to evaluate Concepts of Employments (CONEMPS), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and Design Reference Missions (DRM) to affect system design and optimization.

• Assess capabilities by linking system requirements to mission threads, proving operative interfaces and their connections that enable mission execution, verification/validation planning of system elements performing missions, and system integration functions during development.

• Plan demonstration and delivery of mission effects, data, or capabilities during operations and provide long-term sustainment and mission augmentation support over the life of systems.

• Develop large scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including the application of design of experiment techniques for the evaluation of system and mission performance.

• Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products

• Performs operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis activities.

• Develops new and/or integrates existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms, threat models and command and control models.

• Model operational environments, performs trade studies via computer simulation and recommends alternative architectures.

• Develops, integrates, and uses advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.
