The Junior Data Analyst will provide analytical support for missile defense wargaming, developing software packages, and conducting analysis using modeling and simulations.

Provide technical assistance for missile defense target vehicles, focusing on GNC, modeling, simulation, and trajectory analysis while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

The Range Safety & Flight Termination Engineer will oversee range safety requirements, support flight termination systems, and provide reports on testing and findings.

Provide technical support for missile defense wargame planning and execution, develop event requirements, and conduct post-wargame analysis while ensuring best practices.

Serve as MBSE architect for the Targets Program: implement Government Reference Architecture in Cameo, author processes/templates/metrics, elicit stakeholder requirements, and lead functional analysis using MBSE techniques.

The Senior Payloads Analyst will support range safety requirements and flight termination systems for missile defense programs, providing oversight, documentation, and representation in technical discussions.

Support MDA Targets and Countermeasures by developing and validating debris models, performing pre/post-flight trajectory analyses, producing mission data products (BET, quick-look briefs), participating in test planning and reviews, deploying for flight tests, and preparing technical reports and briefings.

Lead systems engineering for C2BMC/C3BM efforts: provide technical analysis, support algorithm development, lead SRM/BM systems analysis, support Spiral/Agile development and product integration, and represent the program in design and peer reviews.

Support MDA Spectrum Management Office by managing frequency authorizations, authoring DD1494 system certifications, submitting SXXI requests, troubleshooting EMI, maintaining trackers/databases, and preparing Host Nation Coordination and site survey packets.

Support MDA Chief Engineer by developing and capturing system models using MBSE tools, coordinating with internal and external teams, and advancing model-based engineering over document-driven processes.

Support Missile Defense Agency spectrum lifecycle management including system certification, frequency authorization, interference resolution, technical risk assessments, and mission execution. Participate in MRWG, review technical and cyber risk evidence for design reviews, coordinate risk development, and resolve execution risks and event observations.

Support the MDA Chief Engineer by integrating and coordinating complex internal and external systems. Contribute to an Engineering IPT, coordinate with technical POCs, develop tools/processes for metrics, evaluate working group outputs, and assess impacts on schedule, dependencies, and integrated testing.

Support MDA Chief Engineer by developing and capturing system models using MBSE tools to replace document-driven engineering, coordinate with internal and external teams, and apply interface/interoperability engineering expertise.

Support the MDA Chief Engineer by capturing and developing system models as the backbone for MBSE-driven engineering. Use MBSE tools to build models, coordinate with internal and external teams, and apply interface/interoperability engineering expertise to transition from document-driven to model-driven engineering.

Lead systems engineering and program management for NASA technology maturation, driving TRL advancement through design, integration, test, and flight demonstrations. Oversee documentation reviews, coordinate cross-functional teams and subcontractors, plan and execute ground and flight tests, conduct design and milestone reviews, manage risks and roadmaps, and serve as the primary technical interface to NASA/MSFC.

The Technical Integrator will support the Missile Defense Agency, ensuring timely data responses, executing test events, and preparing for future missions.

Lead systems engineering and mission/software assurance activities including code reviews, static analysis, testing, and engineering reviews. Provide scalable, secure software architecture input, identify and mitigate software/hardware risks, ensure assurance processes and objective evidence meet standards, and give technical guidance for hardware/software integration across MDS platforms.
