MEO Missile Warning & Tracking (MWT) Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineer
The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
The Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Space Command, Air Force Material Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers’ portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Additionally, DSG provides deep technical expertise to the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition, launch and operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems.
The Missile Warning and Tracking (MWT) mission is undergoing its biggest architectural shift in a generation — moving from single satellite architectures to distributed and connected constellations to perform a coordinated mission. Given this shift, the ability to predict, model, and verify performance across a multi-constellation architecture is central to meeting mission needs. Together with government and industry partners, the MWT MEO Systems program office is shaping the design, development, and fielding of a next-generation constellation of missile warning and tracking satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO). As the MEO Missile Warning & Tracking (MWT) Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineer you will play a pivotal role in developing and applying key modeling, simulation, and analysis capabilities needed to define, analyze, and verify mission payload, constellation, and enterprise-level performance across the proliferated Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) MEO architecture.
This is a unique opportunity to shape M&S capability development across multiple levels of the architecture simultaneously — from detailed mission payload performance modeling to constellation-level tactics and enterprise-level integration — in direct support of verification and validation (V&V) for a program spanning multiple contractors and epochs. You'll act as a key Aerospace technical contributor and liaison to the government on MWT M&S, trusted to develop, mature, and apply modeling capabilities while working closely with the acquisition program office (SSC/SYD 84/MT), the SETA systems engineering leads, and Epoch 1, Epoch 2, and future Epoch 3 contracto...
