Abacus Technology is seeking a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer to provide technical support for the Command, Control, Communication, Intelligence and Networks (C3I&N) Directorate at Lackland AFB. This is a full-time position.

Support and conduct simulation studies to include but not be limited to system and component performance, engineering trade-offs, system effectiveness, cost and logistics.
• Develop and apply advanced software and systems methods, theories, and research techniques in the investigation and solution of complex and advanced technical problems.
• Analyze, evaluate, and plan methods of approach and organize means to achieve solutions of complex technical problems.
• Conduct investigations and tests of considerable complexity.
• Evaluate vendor capabilities to provide required products or services.
• Provide technical consultation to technical staff or other organizations.
• Work with a team of analysts onsite at Hanscom AFB and government clients to verify the correct intelligence data required for key modeling and simulation analyses, including models that range from engineering to mission level.
• Work with internal and external organizations to gather required capabilities and performance (C&P) data for classified threat systems to ensure proper characterization of the threat models.
• Apply analysis tools, object models, and analytical techniques to support mission-level analyses, including the performance of military communication networks, susceptibility to Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS), concept alternatives characterization, conduct development planning, and the analysis of new systems, technologies, effectiveness, and lethality.

15+ years experience in systems engineering with a focus on modeling and simulation including at least 5 years in a DoD environment. Bachelor's degree in a related field. Additional years of experience may be substituted for degree requirements. Knowledge and experience must include reviewing modeling work for compliance with regulations and best practices; developing and maintaining modeling best practices; analyzing complex problems; developing relevant models and constraints to run complex dynamic structural, thermal or other analyses; and reviewing and supporting work to develop appropriate models to solve complex weapon system issues including networking and communications. Experience with software engineering with a modeling and simulation, radar, or communications background. Experience with RF and Antenna modeling and simulation. Experience with technical writing and working in a research environment. Experience with command and control processes. Experience with LVC environment. Able to assess RF performance with software. Able to adapt current and outside sourced models, as needed. Experience with analysis, including modeling and simulation tools, such as System Tool Kit (STK), AFSIM software tool, Riverbed Modeler, or similar tools, experience in data management, ability to compose documentation, analysis reports, and briefings. Experience coding in MATLAB, Simulink, or C++. Must possess excellent statistical analysis or operations research skills. Must be a US citizen and hold a current Top Secret clearance with SCI access (TS/SCI).

Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
