You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver actionable results, influencing key decisions and empowering mission success for warfighters and stakeholders alike. 
 
Responsibilities: 

Data-Driven Analysis and Decision Support: 
  • Apply Operations Research (OR) methods to conduct trade studies, quantitative analyses, and sensitivity assessments for mission-critical systems. 
  • Develop models, simulations, and frameworks to support dynamic decision-making across systems-of-systems architectures. 
  • Analyze operational performance metrics, identify mission gaps, and recommend solutions for digital workflows and mission systems integration. 

Mission Systems Engineering and Digital Ecosystem Optimization: 
  • Drive mission systems engineering initiatives, ensuring seamless integration across digital solutions within multi-domain operations. 
  • Architect and refine digital ecosystem frameworks, enabling secure data exchange, enhanced collaboration, and interoperability across legacy and modern systems. 
  • Shape architecture solutions leveraging emerging technologies, including cloud environments, edge computing, AI/ML, and IoT to empower digital warfighter capabilities. 
  • Collaborate with technical teams to implement systems aligned with operational requirements, CONOPS, and multi-domain engagement strategies. 

Technical Innovation for Complex Mission Challenges: 
  • Build scalable models for mission system modernization, delivering results that enhance resiliency, cybersecurity, and operational agility. 
  • Integrate advanced data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) and analytical software (e.g., Python, SQL, MATLAB) to produce key insights for stakeholders. 
  • Optimize mission-critical tools and processes to identify risks, quantify outcomes, and guide technology adoption strategies across warfighter ecosystems. 
  • Develop predictive analyses and simulation models to assess future mission requirements and capabilities. 
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement: 
  • Work closely with cross-functional engineering, program management, and government leadership teams to align solutions with operational objectives. 
  • Provide actionable insights through technical briefs, reports, and presentations for leadership and mission stakeholders. 
  • Assist in developing mission-focused digital solutions by facilitating collaboration across technical and operational teams, ensuring alignment with customer goals. 
 
Required Skills: 

  • 10+ years of experience in operations research, systems analysis, or systems engineering with a focus on mission-critical systems and architectures. 
  • Expertise in developing models, simulations, and decision frameworks to optimize mission systems and digital ecosystem integrations. 
  • Strong knowledge of mission systems engineering principles, including data-driven optimization, workflow analysis, and operational risk assessments. 
  • Proficiency with tools such as Python, SQL, MATLAB, Tableau, or Power BI for quantitative analysis and data visualization. 
  • Ability to bridge technical and operational disciplines to design systems supporting multi-domain operations and digital transformation. 
  • Demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional teams and communicate complex analyses to technical and non-technical audiences clearly. 
 
Desired Skills: 

  • Familiarity with digital ecosystems leveraging AI/ML, IoT, cloud computing, and secure architectures for defense systems. 
  • Strong knowledge of CONOPS (Concept of Operations) and CONEMP (Concept of Employment) frameworks. 
  • Experience in risk analysis, performance diagnostics, or system optimization methods for multi-domain operations. 
  • Advanced degree preferred in Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field. 
 
Educational Requirements: 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related technical discipline required. 
  • Master’s degree strongly preferred. 

Location: Flexible, with priority posting in Ohio (OH), Virginia (VA), and Alabama (AL).
