OVERVIEW 

Full-time  

Location:  The ideal candidate will be local to the Tidewater/Newport News, VA area. 

Aether Aerospace is seeking a highly experienced Senior Mission Effectiveness & Operational Concepts Analyst / Threat and Electronic Warfare (EW) Subject Matter Expert to support a six-month military operational analysis and mission engineering study evaluating advanced capabilities in representative U.S. Army aviation and combined-arms environments.

The selected individual will apply extensive military operational and technical experience to develop and evaluate operational concepts, identify desired mission outcomes and the effects necessary to achieve them, and assess the operational implications of emerging military capabilities. The position combines mission effectiveness expertise, operational concept development, aviation survivability and threat/EW assessment, operational graphics, and technical reporting. The individual will work closely with modeling and simulation (M&S) engineers, operations research analysts, and other technical specialists to ensure operational scenarios, analytical assumptions, and study findings are militarily credible and relevant to operational decision-making. This position emphasizes operational expertise and the ability to connect military capabilities and operational activities to desired effects and mission outcomes rather than performing detailed statistical analysis or simulation development.
