Job Summary
The Missile Defense Systems Analyst provides technical and operational analysis supporting Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) systems, command and control architectures, communications networks, weapon system integration, and mission performance assessments.

Perform detailed analysis of communications protocols, message structures, and Interface Control Document (ICD) requirements to assess system compliance and identify anomalies.
Analyze test event data, mission data, and post-mission logs to characterize system behavior and determine root causes of performance issues.
Assess end-to-end interactions among command and control systems, communications networks, sensors, and weapon systems to evaluate mission effectiveness and system integration performance.
Support developmental testing, operational testing, system integration events, simulations, and field exercises through data collection, analysis, and post-event assessments.
Perform data reduction, trend analysis, statistical analysis, and performance assessments to identify operational impacts and opportunities for system improvement.
Develop technical reports, analytical products, briefings, and decision-support materials for government customers, military stakeholders, and engineering teams.
Collaborate with software engineers, systems engineers, operators, testers, and government personnel to investigate system behavior and resolve technical issues.
Maintain analytical rigor while meeting critical deadlines in support of time-sensitive mission requirements.

Experience using tools such as Python, MATLAB, Linux-based environments, SQL, scripting languages, spreadsheet analysis tools, or data visualization platforms.
Experience with Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), Patriot, LTAMDS, Sentinel, THAAD, Aegis, or other integrated air and missile defense systems.
Experience analyzing tactical datalinks, weapon system communications, missile guidance communications, telemetry systems, command and control message traffic, or network protocols.
