The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation's space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space. At Aerospace, we are committed to providing an inclusive and diverse workplace for all employees to share in our common passion and aspiration - to carry out a mission much bigger than ourselves. The Systems Engineering Division (SED) provides unmatched experience in systems engineering to the U.S. government and to numerous public and private agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, consortia, and commercial companies involved in the advanced application of space technology. From systems architecture development to system analysis and optimization, astrodynamics, orbital debris, navigation, failure analysis, mission assurance, cost and schedule assessment, and economic market analysis, SED exploits an incredibly broad array of engineering and business disciplines against a diverse and dynamic portfolio of programs and national challenges. In the Performance Modeling and Analysis Department, we are excited to solve tough problems and explore novel ideas, and we are driven to empower people to make a difference. We are looking for a Modeling and Simulation Analyst (Engineering Specialist- Modeling & Simulation Engineering) to provide technical capabilities to support our customers in modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) of space, air, and ground-based systems. MS&A focus areas may include agent-based modeling, opposing force conflict simulations, military utility analysis, capability attrition, military target tracking effectiveness, command, and control (C2) evaluation, and killchain analysis. In this position, you will contribute to projects leveraging the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) to accomplish MS&A objectives. Work Model: This full-time position requires 100% onsite work in El Segundo, CA, Chantilly, VA, or Colorado Springs, CO. What You'll Be Doing Collaborate with multi-disciplinary team members to execute modeling, simulation, and analysis projects using AFSIM and other engineering tools. Interact with Aerospace program office and government customers to understand analysis tasks and provide results. Use and contribute to development of in-house and commercial- and government-off-the-shelf engineering analysis tools with a focus on AFSIM. Develop and deliver timely and technically accurate presentations and reports. What You Need to be Successful- Engineering Specialist, Modeling & Simulation Engineering Bachelor's degree in applicable STEM areas or other relevant disciplines. 8 years' of progressively more responsible engineering experience. Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams to complete technical analyses as part of larger project efforts.
