Operations Analysis/Operations research

Requirements

This model developer/analyst in the Huntsville Operations Analysis Group (aka “Possum Works”) will join a dynamic team environment with a unique culture supporting a myriad of Independent Research and Development (IRAD) projects and selected program tasks. The chemistry of the team is critical to our success. The candidate is expected to be highly motivated to solve strike and missile defense problems at the conceptual level. The candidate will be expected to interface with senior technical and program leadership from across the Corporation. This person will be responsible for supporting code development, conducting analysis runs, threat trajectory generation, and maintenance of post processors for COBRA (a coverage/battlespace/requirements analysis tool) and GHOST (a sensors and threats tool) models. This person will develop a deep understanding of Strike and Missile Defense (MD) system simulations and analysis and will be responsible for:

• Developing a working knowledge of MD system functions, scientific principles, technologies, and operations;
• Translating interceptor, radar, and battle management concepts into simulation input;
• Support the operation maintaining of simulation codes;
• Generating output to support analysis products;
• Developing MATLAB models of algorithms, optimization techniques, hit-to-kill physics and data processors;
• Working in a fast paced, high work volume, highly technical, small team environment;
• Working across LINUX and Windows operating systems.
