Senior Performance Analysis Engineer - Ground-Based Missile Defense

Senior Performance Analysis Engineer - Ground-based Missile Defense | Req # TLS-26-040

Support the analysis and assessment of Ground-based Missile Defense (GMD) systems for MDA - mission and system performance analyses to evaluate weapon-system effectiveness, engagement performance, and operational capability across a range of threat scenarios (MATLAB, Python, C++).

Clearance: Secret | Level: Senior | Experience: 7+ years | Education: Bachelor's (4-yr) | Location: Huntsville, AL | Type: Full-time

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain MATLAB, Python, and C++ analysis tools to support medium-fidelity modeling, simulation, and performance assessments of the Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) and Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)
• Develop, execute, and analyze modeling and simulation (M&S) environments to evaluate interceptor performance across a variety of engagement scenarios and mission conditions
• Perform quick-response analysis in support of the In-Flight Interceptor Communication System Data Terminal (IDT), including kinematic battlespace assessments and other time-sensitive analyses
• Conduct interceptor performance analysis to evaluate system capabilities, identify performance trends and limitations, and support technical assessments and decision-making
• Support the development and enhancement of future interceptor analysis capabilities, methodologies, models, simulations, and analytical tools
• Analyze and interpret simulation results to assess system performance and provide technically sound conclusions and recommendations
• Develop and deliver technical briefings to communicate analysis methodologies, assumptions, results, and conclusions to engineering teams, program leadership, and government stakeholders
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to address emerging analysis needs and support current and future missile-defense capabilities
