Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer

Torch Technologies is seeking a Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer3 to provide MS&A support to the United States Space Force, Space Training and Readiness Command (USSF/STARCOM). The position requires a wide range of skills and demonstrated experience in MS&A in support of military strategies, plans, operations, assessments, and Department of War objectives.

• Provide requirements recommendations for future updates to analytical models, methods, and M&S tools with specific focus on radar and satellite system modeling.
• Augment tool requirement development through mission research and analysis and produce COAs for developing new analytical models and tools.
• Capture requirements for existing MS&A tools such as AFRL's AFSIM or SDMC's EADSIM to add space effects and radar/satellite capabilities.
• Support development and implementation of distributed M&S frameworks addressing time synchronization, truth scene generation, and multi‑system integration challenges.
• Develop a plan to refine prototype modeling applications including relevant understanding of graphical user interfaces to refine data requirements, employment procedures, and usability for end‑user.
• Coordinate with others to identify and solve a variety of problems and clarify management objectives.
• Create analytical models and simulations for radar and satellite systems.
• Analyze space system operational, technical, programmatic, and acquisition inputs and formulate recommendations for senior leader consideration.
• Brief and interact with senior‑level officers (e.g., GO/FLAG) and senior civilians.
• Support requirements development and documentation for distributed M&S architectures.

• U.S. citizenship.
• Bachelor of Science degree in computer science, modeling and simulation, operations research, engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related STEM field (master’s degree highly preferred).
• 5+ years of system design experience, including hardware/software integration.
• Active TS/SCI clearance is required to be considered for this position.
• Minimum 5 years of demonstrated experience in at least one of the following areas: modeling and simulation development and implementation, radar systems analysis and simulation, satellite systems modeling and operations.
• Experience in M&S requirements development and technical documentation.
• Understanding of distributed M&S architectures, including time management and synchronization protocols, truth scene generation and management, and complex system‑of‑systems interactions and integration.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with senior leadership.

• Understanding of military space operations (Space Domain Awareness, Command & Control, Satellite Communications, Position, Navigation & Timing, Overhead Persistent Infrared, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Missile Warning, Offensive Space Control, Defensive Space Control, Missile Defense, etc.).
• Proficiency in programming languages or statistical packages: R, Python, MATLAB, SAS, JAVA, JMP, Excel VBA, STORM, SEAS, Power BI, Tableau, Qlick, SPSS, PSPP, and Sym Py.
• Demonstrated knowledge and expertise on analytic tool characterization, development and assessment.
• Strong quantitative and analytic abilities to integrate and analyze data.
• Knowledge of modeling and analysis using mathematical/quantitative methods.
• Expertise using the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint).
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, especially when communicating technical information to audiences with varying backgrounds.

• Direct experience supporting Missile Defense Agency (MDA) programs.
• Previous M&S and staff experience on a CCMD, MAJCOM, HHQ, Joint Staff, or OSD staff.
• Understanding of military operations or prior military experience in a position that required modeling and analysis on a Joint Staff or Service staff.
• Experience with High Level Architecture (HLA) and Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS).
• Knowledge of DoW modeling and simulation standards and methodologies.
• Familiarity with radar phenomenology, signal processing, and tracking algorithms.
