Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Launch and Missile Defense Systems offers an exciting career opportunity for a Principal Engineer Systems Modeling Simulation – Analyst & Simulation Developer (25-270 & 25-271), to join our team of qualified and diverse individuals. This position, located in Colorado Springs, CO, plays a crucial role in supporting the U.S. President, Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels.

Relocation Assistance is not available for this position, and this role is on-site with no remote options.

Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program serves as the integrating element of the Missile Defense System. It is an essential operational system that enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, observe the battle's developments, and dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that allows for an optimized response to threats of all ranges at every phase of flight. C2BMC acts as a force multiplier, globally and regionally networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to enhance performance. Additionally, C2BMC is a crucial component of all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise the current and future capabilities of the missile defense system.

The applicant is expected to provide technical expertise in the area of Missile Defense (MD) modeling, simulation, and/or analysis. We seek a highly motivated analyst to support the C2BMC-NT (National Team) Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Product Team. The applicant must possess a strong engineering background that encompasses various disciplines, enabling both conceptual and detailed system-level assessments. Additionally, they should have a fundamental understanding of analysis techniques, planning, execution, and reporting. We will consider college graduates or new hires with a Master's or Doctorate. The candidate is required to work on-site full-time due to the need for access to a classified computing environment.

Essential Functions:

• Responsibilities will include one or more of the following:
• Plan and execute performance analyses on C2BMC and its interactions with current and planned-future MD Elements
• Document analysis results in reports and briefings
• Present analysis results to a variety of audiences
• Develop requirements for complex system models/simulations
• Execute, test, and evaluate/troubleshoot MD-level, extensive-scale models/simulations
• Develop, test, and assess threat scenarios
• Develop tools to support analysis and development efforts in:
  • MATLAB
  • Python
• Provide data to support decisions regarding system/element representations and modeling parameters used in extensive-scale simulations
• Interact with members of other C2BMC Product Teams, C2BMC leadership, MDA customers, and technical SMEs, as well as leadership of other MD Element programs

Basic Qualifications:

Please note your updated security clearance and IAT/relevant certifications on your resume, if applicable.

• A Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM field such as Computer Science, Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics from an accredited university is preferred, accompanied by 5 years of experience; or a Master’s degree in a STEM-related discipline with 3 years of experience (preferred); or a PhD in a related discipline with 1 year of experience; OR 9 years
