Modeling and Simulation VV&A Analyst

MTSI is seeking a highly motivated Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Analyst to support verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) efforts for the Missile Defense System (MDS). In this role, you will directly contribute to ensuring the credibility and readiness of digital and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) models that drive MDS performance assessments and critical decision-making.

You will work within MDA/SEQV Systems Verification-the designated MDA Modeling & Simulation Agent-where your analysis will shape the quality and reliability of the models used across the missile defense enterprise.

What You'll Do

• Perform VV&A analysis to evaluate HWIL and Digital Models against established requirements and determine their suitability for operational use in MDS simulations.
• Conduct modeling and simulation assessments in one or more key technical areas: radars/sensors (RF/IR), threats, environments, interceptors, communications, or other ballistic missile defense system components.
• Develop data-analysis tools and scripts to evaluate model performance parameters identified within analysis and accreditation plans.
• Research technical papers, model documentation, and system data to identify information relevant to model VV&A.
• Collaborate with software developers, model producers, accreditation agents, and other stakeholders to generate VV&A evidence and resolve modeling discrepancies.
• Participate in technical interchange meetings, prepare reports, and brief VV&A findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• BS or MS degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 7+ years of relevant experience in modeling, simulation, analysis, or related engineering work.
• Active DoD Secret clearance (or higher).
• Experience with MATLAB and/or Python (desired).
• Understanding of radar principles or radar modeling (plus).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings.
