Aerospace Modeling & Simulation Analyst; TS​/SCI

Vantor is forging the new frontier of spatial intelligence, helping decision makers and operators navigate what's happening now and shape what's coming next. Vantor is a place for problem solvers, changemakers, and go-getters-where people are working together to help our customers see the world differently, and in doing so, be seen differently. Come be part of a mission, not just a job, where you can:
Shape your own future, build the next big thing, and change the world.

To be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Citizen. This position requires an active U.S. Government security clearance, applicants who do not currently hold the required clearance will not be eligible for consideration. Employment for cleared roles is contingent upon verification of clearance status.

Export Control/ITAR:
Certain roles may be subject to U.S. export control laws, requiring U.S. person status as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).

In this role, you will model satellites, aircraft, sensor systems, mission scenarios, and operational concepts to evaluate performance, explore trade-offs, and inform decisions on future space and airborne capabilities. This is a hands‑on technical role for someone who enjoys solving complex mission problems, improving simulation capabilities, working with large datasets, and turning detailed analysis into clear recommendations for senior decision‑makers. You will contribute across fast‑paced studies and longer‑term efforts that help shape the systems and architectures of the future.

• Develop, modify, and run high‑fidelity simulations of space, airborne, and ISR sensor systems to support architecture studies, system trades, performance assessments, and mission‑level analyses.
• Build operational vignettes that reflect real‑world mission needs, constraints, and customer priorities.
• Develop new tools, scripts, and simulator features to improve scenario generation, data analysis, visualization, workflow efficiency, and overall simulation capability.
• Analyze simulation results to identify trends, risks, trade‑offs, and key performance drivers.
• Perform QA/QC on model inputs, assumptions, outputs, and analytical results.
• Present findings and recommendations to technical teams, senior leaders, and customers.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams while also owning independent analysis tasks.

• US Citizenship Required with an active or current TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university, in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
• Willing to work on‑site.

• An advanced degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Working knowledge of the theory and applications of astrodynamics, remote sensing, spacecraft design, aerospace systems operations, or complex systems integration is desired.
• Experience with the design, development and software implementation of complex mathematical algorithms.
• Ability to develop standalone engineering tools/scripts via Python and/or Excel.
• Ability to identify, analyze, resolve technical risks and issues, develop technical reports, and collaborate with government and other stakeholders to implement recommended solutions.
• Ability to communicate and establish collaborative relationships with both clients and teammates to achieve program goals.
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Highly motivated and dynamic work ethic with a strong desire to contribute to the mission.
