Modeling and Simulation Systems Architect

The Opportunity:

For an organization to transform in today's digital world, it needs to properly collect, store, and organize its data. Effective data management enables smarter, faster decisions that strengthen national security. As a data architect, you know how to apply your creative-thinking and analytical mindset to help organizations manage their data assets. We're looking for an experienced data architect like you to deliver leading-edge solutions for space operations and national defense missions.

As a data architect supporting modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) efforts within the defense and space enterprise, you'll use your technical expertise to design and implement data architecture solutions supporting joint force training, operational integration, and cross-combatant command exercises. You'll resolve complex data architecture challenges in collaboration with analysts, software engineers, and mission planners by defining data standards, advising on interoperability approaches, and developing schema and interface control documentation (ICDs) to enable realistic modeling and simulation environments.

In this role, you'll expand your technical depth and apply best practices using tools like SQL, Python, C#, System Tool Kit (STK), and DoD data integration frameworks to design databases, data models, and ETL processes that power advanced analytical and simulation capabilities. You'll lead efforts to define, develop, and test data flow between modeling environments and operational systems, serving as a liaison between defense stakeholders and technical teams to ensure that requirements are clearly captured and accurately implemented.

With your drive to establish standards and enable technological innovation, you'll make a lasting impact on space operations readiness and national security decision-making.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• Experience gathering, refining, and documenting technical requirements for software, systems, or modeling & simulation (M&S) projects

• Experience planning, tracking progress, and aligning resources and funding to project goals

• Ability to lead discussions with internal teams, external contractors, and partner organizations to align requirements, expectations, and deliverables

• Ability to translate complex technical information into clear, actionable language for decision-makers

• TS/SCI clearance

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or Data Science

Nice If You Have:

• Experience interpreting military mission threads and extracting key attributes and behaviors to be modeled

• Experience with DoD or enterprise network architectures, data exchange patterns, or cybersecurity considerations related to system integration

• Experience with system development lifecycles (SDLC) or M&S environments sufficient to bridge technical and non-technical conversations

• Knowledge of military or defense M&S systems and integration with operational systems or exercise environments

• Knowledge of software development, software architectures, APIs, or database concepts

• Knowledge of space operations concepts such as orbital mechanics, satellite communications, space situational awareness, and space command and control, including how they inform M&S requirements

Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
