Mid to Sr. Modeling and Simulation Analyst

Overview

AXIENT is looking for a Mid to Senior level Modeling and Simulation Analyst for Operational Energy in the Space Domain – Supporting OSD Operational Energy Innovation Office in operational energy portfolios and related projects to develop multi-domain and Space operational energy modeling, simulation, and visualization effects.  Modeling projects will focus on the space domain and its integration with sea, air, land, and cyberspace as they are supporting and supported in cross domain effects.  Objective is toolkit development to aid representation of new/future military capabilities in wargames.  The analyst will work with military operators and acquirers to improve the flow of information between them. Implementation of classified capabilities as needed. 

Technologies, capabilities, and oversight of Service projects will include:

- U.S. and DOD operational energy innovation science and technology (S&T) policy considerations, understanding of proposed Service future force structures and resulting operational energy needs and available energy technologies and capabilities to meet those needs. 

- Objective is to maximize operational energy availability and flexibility to operations of future domestic force structures and to enhance the ability of operational energy technologies to enhance and enable future force structure capabilities. 

- Analyst will collect and organize wargame vignettes to support a comprehensive strategy with implementation recommendations for use by the OSD Operational Energy Innovation office and be made available to the Service and Combatant Commander operational energy offices.  This individual will be supporting the OSD Operational Energy Innovation office, its various energy portfolios, the U.S. Space Force, and other tasks as assigned.
