About The Position

SimTech, Inc. is seeking a mid-level Modeling and Simulation Analyst to support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) in evaluating the performance and capabilities of the Missile Defense System (MDS). The role analyzes Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) simulation data for MDS Ground Test (GT) events, Continuous Developmental Integration (CDI) efforts, and Flight Test activities, with hands-on engagement in MDA’s distributed Objective Simulation Framework (OSF). The analyst supports simulation campaigns by reviewing test data, assessing simulation performance and accuracy, validating data quality, and developing Python tools. The role works collaboratively with Government, Prime Contractor, Supporting Contractor, analyst, and engineering personnel and documents and communicates analysis results. Work may take place in an office/cubicle setting or a specialized laboratory/testing environment. The position may involve telework, occasional travel, varying shifts or hours to meet business demands, and moving or testing equipment of various weights. Personal protective equipment may be required in laboratory settings. U.S. citizenship and an active Secret security clearance, with the ability to maintain the designated clearance level, are required. SimTech describes its compensation and benefits package as competitive and highlights its retirement benefits, work/life balance, and career growth opportunities.
