Enterprise Modeling & Simulation Engineer
About The Position
The Enterprise Modeling & Simulation Engineer works in The Aerospace Corporation’s Cross-Mission Effectiveness Department, integrating and applying modeling and simulation capabilities and modern analysis workflows. The role supports customers conducting modeling, simulation, and analysis of space-, air-, and ground-based systems of systems to assess architectures and concepts of operations in nominal and contested environments. Areas of focus include agent-based modeling, red-versus-blue simulations, military utility and capability drawdown, kill-chain effectiveness, enterprise architecture resiliency, and command-and-control evaluation. The engineer translates customer and program needs into analysis tasks, develops software to implement modeling capabilities, and prepares, executes, and analyzes enterprise-level simulations. The role also leads and contributes to technical projects, serves as a technical authority, communicates findings through briefings and reports, mentors junior staff, and travels occasionally as required. The position is full-time and 100% onsite in El Segundo, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Chantilly, Virginia; or Huntsville, Alabama.
