Responsibilities
Design and implement physics-based models for space infrastructure, incorporating orbital dynamics, electromagnetic propagation, sensor phenomenology, environmental effects, and multi-domain interactions
Conduct high-fidelity simulations and analyses of space systems, evaluating performance under various scenarios (e.g., nominal operations, contested environments, debris fields)
Develop analytical frameworks to assess system vulnerabilities, trade-offs, and optimization opportunities, using tools like Monte Carlo methods, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty quantification
Translate simulation results into actionable recommendations for force design, including architecture enhancements, resource allocation, and capability gaps
Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, and decision-makers to integrate models into broader analytical pipelines and decision-support systems
Build and maintain scalable simulation environments, ensuring models are computationally efficient and validated against empirical data
Perform data analysis on large datasets from simulations, telemetry, or open-source intelligence to derive insights and visualize outcomes
Contribute to technical reports, briefings, and strategic recommendations for stakeholders, including potential publication or presentation at industry conferences
Mentor junior team members and help shape best practices in space-domain physics modeling
Qualification
Required
B.S. in Physics, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field with a strong emphasis on theoretical modeling
At least 8+ years of experience in space-related modeling, simulation, and analysis (industry, national lab, government, or advanced research settings)
Strong expertise in physics and theory relevant to space: orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, electromagnetics, radiation effects, satellite communications (ground and space-based), position, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, and systems engineering principles
Demonstrated ability to abstract theoretical concepts into practical models, simulations, and analytical frameworks that drive decision-making
Experience with simulation tools such as STK (Systems Tool Kit), GMAT, FreeFlyer, AFSIM, or custom-built propagators
Familiarity with force design concepts, mission analysis, or wargaming in space or multi-domain operations
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability work independently with limited, if any, technical definition of analytical problems
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
Candidate must possess an active TS/SCI or TS with SCI eligibility clearance and a willingness to obtain a CI Poly
Preferred
Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Physics, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field with a strong emphasis on theoretical modeling
Background in space domain infrastructure analysis, including constellation design, coverage modeling, or resilience assessments
Experience with advanced techniques like physics-informed machine learning, agent-based modeling, or game theory for strategic recommendations
Knowledge of high-performance computing (HPC), parallel processing, or cloud-based simulation environments (e.g., AWS, Azure)
