The Enterprise Interoperability subdivision is seeking a modeling and simulation (M&S) analyst to support the Space Systems Integration Office within Space Systems Command (SSC/BZ). SSC/BZ assists numerous organizations within SSC and the USSF by generating analysis products that evaluate cross mission functions and system interfaces and incorporate models of space, ground, user systems, operational threads, and mission-level engagements. These products are used to support SSC acquisition/investment decisions that will ensure that the USSF operates efficiently as an enterprise and can outpace emerging threats. SMC/BZ is also playing a major role in the development and use of a digital engineering environment that will support the transfer of data between model-based system engineering models and analysis tools to increase the efficiency of analysis products being generated.
Work Model: One to two days per week telecommuting is possible depending on the needs of the customer.
