Systems Analyst/ Engineer for IDT

Performs end-to-end analysis of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) supporting the systems engineering process for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Analyses are focused on evaluation of new concepts, requirements definition, performance assessment and system and test verification. Individual will write code to add analysis capabilities or to modify a large MATLAB based BMDS simulation and perform quantitative analyses. Individual will perform analysis of resultant modeling information. May also run higher fidelity element level simulations. May act as a subject matter expert on BMDS elements or analysis techniques. Individual could act as the team lead or report to the lead. Plans tasks and reports on progress. Coordinates with functional working group leads, senior management and government personnel responsible for executing analysis tasks. Documents analysis results in reports and briefings and presents results to the Missile Defense Systems Engineering Team (MDSET) and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) representatives. Must understand modeling and simulation of systems.
