Lead teams of analysts in the development, benchmarking/anchoring, updating, and maintenance of M&S tools to support the system analyses and integrated system requirement development.
Review analysis plans, execution, and products to ensure quality.
Summarize, document, and present analyses and technical concepts.
Conduct technical meetings with government and industry subject matter experts to analyze and formulate performance and functional requirements for system-of-system level specifications.
Utilization of MBSE tools such as DOORS, System Architect, and mathematical M&S to provide thought leadership and system requirement definition.
Think critically and lead efforts to solve complex missile defense problems.
The Missiles and Weapons Systems (MWS) organization is a dynamic and growing with a leadership team focused on attracting and developing top talent in support of critical missions for National Defense and Strategic Deterrence. Connected to our customers' missions, we deliver unique capability through our exceptional talent. The programs that we support in Huntsville, Alabama include Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Next Gen Interceptor, precision-guided munitions, and Integrated Air & Missile Defense products (PAC-3, Avenger, ABMD); National Team, and Strategic Deterrence Systems (which includes Minuteman ICBM support and guidance system repair).
