About The Position

Booz Allen is seeking a mid-level Modeling & Simulation Engineer for its Wargaming and Modeling & Simulation team. The position supports multi-domain defense simulation development and testing. The engineer develops and uses system, subsystem, and component models for aeronautical, astronautical, ground, sea, and undersea applications; executes simulation trades; and performs Monte Carlo analysis. The role includes developing and implementing high-fidelity models to support strategy, technology and concept development, requirements, design, and modeling of communications networks and systems. The engineer uses modeling and simulation tools and technical approaches to address client challenges, identify system improvements, and ensure solutions account for the current architecture and operating environment as well as future functionality and enhancements. The position is hybrid and based in McLean, Virginia. Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and must have Secret clearance. The projected annual compensation range is $62,000 to $141,000, subject to factors including location, qualifications, and organizational requirements.
