Modeling Simulation and Analysis Engineer - Senior-Level

Mission Intel•Springfield, VA

About The Position

Mission Intelligence Group is seeking a highly skilled Senior Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) Engineer to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the broader National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG). In this role, you will apply advanced modeling, simulation, and analytical techniques to evaluate complex systems, identify trends in large-scale data environments, and help shape the future of GEOINT capabilities. This is an exciting opportunity to influence mission-critical decisions and deliver innovative solutions that directly support national security operations. As a Senior MS&A Engineer, you will lead the development and application of sophisticated modeling and simulation solutions used to analyze NGA architectures, requirements, and system performance. You will work across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments to evaluate alternatives, assess emerging capabilities, and provide data-driven recommendations that improve mission effectiveness. Additionally, you will mentor junior engineers and serve as a trusted technical advisor on complex GEOINT-focused initiatives.
