The SWAC will conduct analysis, modeling, wargaming and experimentation to create operational concepts and Force Design guidance for the Space Force for consideration and CSO decisions. The applicant will be the focal point for capturing missile defense “ground truth” simulation ready scenarios that can be used as a common basis for MW/MT sensor trade and missile defense kill-chain analysis both in-house and across multiple performers/orgs. The applicant will be able to clearly communicate the status and results of work conducted for multiple Force Design Working Groups to various stakeholders and senior leaders across the Department of War and Intelligence Community.\nThis position requires significant technical understanding of MW/MT as well as significant experience with M&S. The candidate must be able to: articulate what missile warning and tracking sensing is needed from tactical to strategic levels, where it needs to go and how fast it needs to get there; employ and develop modeling, simulation, and analysis tools; analyze modeling and simulation results; coordinate internal and external modeling and simulation efforts and provide recommendations on potential improvements to concepts and architectures.\nDUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:\nDevelop target (missile) and effector simulations and corresponding trajectory and behavior files using industry standard M&S tools such as the Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM).\nDevelop modeling and simulation analysis and assessment scripts using government network supportable tools such as Python, and/or Matlab.\nDevelop space-based missile warning access and performance models using industry standard M&S tools such as Systems Tool Kit (STK) or Satellite Orbit Analysis Program (SOAP) and integrate SWAC space-based ISR capability area force designs with modeling and simulation expertise.\nAssist in force design analysis planning, analysis execution coordination, and analysis results evaluation.\nRecommend and document force design dependencies and opportunities (joint, intelligence community, industry, international and other government organizations).\nAssist with modeling inputs and simulation development for external M&S efforts.\nCollaborate in cross-functional planning, coordination and task execution involving the full spectrum of systems engineering and integration activities for a force design effort.\nCoordinate efforts internally and externally with multiple agencies/organizations\nMin. 10 years of experience with BS degree, 8 years with Masters degree.\nDemonstrated experience developing complex space system models and simulations in AFSIM is a must. Additional experience with industry standard tools such as STK and/or SOAP is highly desired.\nDemonstrated experience developing simulation scripts and interface code using government supportable software languages such as Python, and/or Matlab\n5+ years of space system modeling and simulation experience including analyzing modeling and simulation results.\nIn depth understanding of MW/MT systems and operations.\nSTEM bachelor’s degree (master’s preferred)\nSCI and Special Access eligibility (mandatory), with knowledge of how to work in a classified and compartmented working environment is highly desired.\nActive SCI clearance is highly desired.\nStrong communication skills.\nAbility to understand complex technical issues and produce recommendations for a wide audience.\nHave a background of applying analytical problem solving at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war across multiple DoD organizations\nAbility to apply a variety of analysis techniques to identify operational shortfalls of U.S. space capabilities and concepts and make recommendations for future architectures.\nAbility to quickly create decision-quality materials for senior leaders.\nAbility to apply critical thinking in complex and dynamic organizational environments.\nExperience with space design, architecture, and/or system development (desired).\nKnowledge of how to work in a classified and compartmented working environment is required.\nCurrent polygraph (within 5 years) is desired.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4452,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Government","Systems Integrators","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-10T17:26:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.42,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":12,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/saic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/saic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T19:43:38Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31879,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58788},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58788"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsaic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsaic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsaic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/saic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsaic-multi-domain-sensing-engineer-model-simulation-analyst"}]}
