Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer 3

Torch Technologies, Inc.•Colorado Springs, CO

51d•Onsite

About The Position

Torch Technologies is seeking a Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer 3 to provide Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) support to United States Space Command (USSPACECOM). The position requires an individual possessing a wide range of skills and demonstrated experience in MS&A in support of military strategies, plans, operations, assessments, and Department of Defense (DoD) objectives. In this role, you will identify technology to model space warfighting capabilities within models/tools currently available, and identify applications, application programming interfaces (APIs), and/or M&S tools to accommodate the inclusion of space warfighting capabilities within the Digital Engineering Ecosystem of the future. This position specifically emphasizes modeling and simulation expertise for radar and satellite systems, with particular value placed on system of systems expertise related to Missile Defense Agency (MDA) experience. The role requires understanding of distributed M&S architectures and associated complexities related to time management, truth scene generation, and complex system-of-systems interactions.
