About The Position

Space Modeling and Simulation Engineer The Opportunity: As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don’t. You understand the nuances of complex situations. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems. We’re looking for an expert like you to create solutions for missions that keep our nation safe. We’re seeking a modeling and simulation (M&S)-focused exercise planner with an operational to strategic mindset to enhance national defense. In this role, you'll utilize your knowledge of the U.S. military structure and the space domain to optimize training tools for local and distributed audiences. Your expertise will translate real-world military requirements into effective warfighting capabilities, ensuring impactful training for the modern warfighter. As an M&S Exercise Planner, you’ll be deeply involved in planning, assessing, and evaluating training exercises that focus on space-based assets. You'll use computer-based analytical tools to develop and update simulations based on operational needs. This role requires strong critical thinking, data analytics, and operations analysis skills, and offers valuable experience in constructive modeling, simulation, and military training for the space force. Join us. The world can’t wait.
