We have a need for a Network M&S Analyst to provide onsite support in Alexandria, VA.
Responsibilities
The Analyst will lead and conduct advanced analysis of Command, Control, and Communications (C3) architectures, information exchange pathways, and network-enabled mission workflows across current and future DoW systems. The analyst will conceptualize, design, and evaluate new technology integration concepts, representing complex architectures through clear, digestible products for senior decision-makers. Responsibilities include leading the development of digital architectural representations, integrating emerging capabilities into mission-level simulations, and performing detailed modeling and simulation (M&S) analyses to assess operational impacts, system performance, resilience, and technical feasibility. The analyst will guide concept maturation, synchronize network/architecture products with joint kill chain frameworks, and contribute expertise across Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Global Fires, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). The role requires the ability to independently plan analytic tasks, collaborate with technical teammates, oversee the translation of conceptual ideas into simulation environments (AFSIM, ArcherEye, STORM, or similar), and present analytical findings to senior leadership with precision and clarity.
