Position

At the company, we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface, surface, land, and air domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects require Warfighting Systems Analysts who can connect operational needs to system architecture, technical performance, integration choices, and mission-level outcomes. We are looking for our next Warfighting Systems Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Initial hiring will take place in London, UK and the candidate will relocate upon completion of the simulation center.

The Warfighting Systems Analyst is responsible for producing, iterating, and supporting Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (M&SA), including wargaming and experimentation for the company products. This has a three-fold purpose: to train the customer in the company capabilities, conduct internal analysis to support the iterative improvement of current and future products, and learn the specific customers’ needs to ensure we produce the right product for the right reasons.

What You'll Do

  • Leverage high-end models and simulations, including the company's Lattice Mission Simulation (MissionSim) to conduct simulation, experimentation, and training
  • Develop scenarios based on customer needs to demonstrate capabilities
  • Support engineering and product teams by evaluating how platform, payload, autonomy, sensor, effector, communications, navigation, or C2 choices affect mission outcomes
  • Design, execute, and analyze tactical (engagement-level and mission-level) analysis and wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics
  • Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios, with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics
  • Assess system-of-systems interactions, integration risks, dependencies, constraints, and mission impacts
  • Ensure system analysis remains grounded in real operational problems and customer needs
  • Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate the company's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis

Required Qualifications

  • Currently possess and be able to maintain an active country specific Secret security clearance
  • 3+ years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis (ORSA), systems engineering, mission engineering, test and evaluation, or a related technical-operational discipline
  • Experience with tactical experiments and wargaming design, including scenario development, data analytics, and trade-space analysis
  • Demonstrated experience in modeling and simulation for military missions, with a preference for a background in friendly and adversary tactics
  • Proficiency with C++ or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting
  • Ability to connect system performance, architecture, and design choices to mission outcomes
  • Ability to assess and solve problems, and to effectively communicate results through strong verbal and written skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with DoD M&S tools (e.g., AFSIM, Brawler, Suppressor, ESAMS, Command PE)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a country specific Top Secret security clearance
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Operations Research, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical field
  • Operational military background with a subsequent transition into an ORSA, M&S, or Operations Analyst position
  • Experience with AFSIM plug-in development or other advanced M&S framework customization
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, operational test, or experimentation
  • Experience developing KPPs, KSAs, MOEs, MOPs, requirements, test objectives, or system performance assessments
  • Experience with defense systems, autonomous systems, maritime systems, undersea systems, sensors, effectors, communications, navigation, C2, or ISR mission systems

Work Conditions
The candidate will initially be hired in London, UK and will relocate to Abu Dhabi, UAE upon the completion of the simulation center.
