Job Description

HII is recognized as one of America's top large company employers and is driven by strong values and ethics that puts people's safety and well-being first. HII's Mission Technologies Division develops integrated solutions that enable today's connected, all-domain force. The Cyber, EW and Space Group provides full-spectrum capabilities that address today's rapidly changing, multi-domain global security threats and anticipate emerging threats.

The Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer will support a growing portfolio of analytic capabilities serving various DoD and IC customers, including the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC), Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP), US Space Command, US Strategic Command, Air Force Studies and Analysis, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Current lines of effort include development and integration of models for all classes of threats to space systems, development of innovative approaches to joint mission thread and kill chain analyses, and exploration of concepts for mixed-resolution, multi-domain campaign analysis.

The Engineer will adopt Model Based Systems Engineering principles and practices to develop robust modeling architectures using a variety of tools, to include Cameo Systems Modeler and AFSIM. A firm foundation in systems engineering, operations research and object-oriented software coding experience (e.g. Python, C, MATLAB) is essential for excelling in this position. The Engineer will work directly with subject matter experts to precisely express system behaviors in SysML and support the transition of descriptive models into simulation for analyses driving force design and CONOPS development for current and future DoD architectures.

The Engineer will assist the Portfolio Lead with preparing technical products, integrating efforts across mission partners, and interacting with Government customers. Strong communication skills are required to present novel technical concepts to a wide variety of audiences.

Government customers are primarily located in Colorado Springs, Omaha, Albuquerque, Dayton, and the National Capital Region. While this position does not have a specified location, the Engineer must be willing to travel regularly to Government sites with Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities.

Essential Job Responsibilities

  • Create, refine, and present data products with compelling narratives that provide analytically rigorous conclusions to both senior leaders and non-technical audiences
  • Work efficiently alongside the Government, in cross-contractor teams, and individually, to identify and isolate analytic, logical, and syntax anomalies in simulations, MBSE models, algorithms, and big data
  • Conduct analysis and create custom metrics within a discrete event simulator framework like AFSIM, and perform analysis with post-processing software like Python, R, Excel, etc.
  • Provide quantitative answers to challenging, space systems-focused questions
  • Support subject matter experts who advise senior leaders on methodological, analytical, and domain-specific issues
  • Analyze the accuracy of algorithms within modeling frameworks and collaborate to discover improvements
  • Assist the Portfolio Lead with the development of architectural and technical communication products.
  • Must be SCI eligible (background investigation within last 5 years or in continuous monitoring) and able to work regularly in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities.
  • Must be willing to travel CONUS approximately 10% of the time.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 9 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 7 years relevant experience with Masters in related field;
  • Bachelors/Masters degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical or Systems Engineering (or equivalent) or Operations Research (or equivalent).
  • Object-oriented software coding experience (e.g. Python, C, MATLAB).
  • Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering, SysML, and modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler.

Preferred Requirements

  • Experience in modeling, simulating, and analyzing DoD systems at various levels of granularity (e.g. engagement, mission, campaign).
  • Strong skills in critical thinking and problem solving.
  • Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler, especially in modeling detailed behaviors using state machines
  • Experience in independent Project Management.

Physical Requirements

May require working in an office, industrial, shipboard, or laboratory environment.
