Modeling and Simulation Radar VV&A Analyst

MTSI is seeking a Radar Analyst to support high‑impact verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) activities for Missile Defense System (MDS) modeling and simulation. This role provides the opportunity to apply deep radar expertise to one of the most mission‑critical modeling and simulation portfolios supporting national defense.

• Apply radar expertise to enhance and validate complex MDS modeling and simulation environments.
• Develop and execute sensitivity studies to evaluate radar performance characteristics within MDA M&S frameworks.
• Build analytical tools and code (HWIL and Digital Model assessments) to evaluate models against requirements and determine suitability for operational use.
• Research and interpret technical model documentation, academic papers, and system data to support VV&A evidence development.
• Collaborate with software developers, model producers, and accreditation agents to establish high‑quality V&V evidence and resolve modeling discrepancies.
• Contribute to a multi‑agency, highly technical environment focused on improving model fidelity and supporting real-world mission readiness.

• BS or MS in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of relevant radar, modeling, or system analysis experience.
• Active DoD Secret clearance (or higher).
• Strong understanding of radar fundamentals and environmental effects (refraction, atmospheric absorption, scintillation, sky noise).
• Familiarity with MDA radar LRIDs (logical record indicators).
• Experience with radar discrimination, especially wideband features.
• Knowledge of radar debris mitigation logic.
• Background in signal processing techniques (desired).
• Experience with phased array radar modeling/simulation or tactical hardware (both preferred).
• Proficiency with MATLAB and/or Python (plus).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to produce briefings, reports, and documentation.
