Lead Systems Engineer (Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis)

BryceTech•Chantilly, VA

1d•$150,000 - $170,000

About The Position

BryceTech has an immediate opening for an analysis lead engineer to support the Space Development Agency (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter System Architecture (PWSA) Tranche development. The analysis lead engineer will spearhead Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and analysis execution, integrating efforts across the SDA enterprise for a specific mission area (e.g., Link-16, ground command and control, tactical user engagement, etc.). The candidate will provide technical input and advice to the Program Manager and/or technical director, serve in an Analysis Lead Engineering role to support design reviews, integration of analysis results with real-world test results, test procedures, and generate analysis results that evaluate the vendor’s solutions capability to meet PWSA architecture needs. Individuals will support various modeling, simulation and analysis, engineering, policy, planning, and program management of Defense space activities. Specific tasks may include leading performance analysis efforts for the Enterprise using toolsets developed by the M&S Lead Engineer and those available through cells and relationships with other organizations, establishing requirements based on warfighter input, verifying Enterprise-level requirements through analysis, validating system performance based on the results of Developmental Testing and Operational Testing, performing quick-turn analyses in support of external engagements and the Front Office, and providing inputs and prioritization on needed updates to the M&S toolset.
