Department Summary:

The Tactical Air Dominance Department (N151) is transforming warfighter operations by accelerating the fielding of advanced families of weapon systems through digital acquisition, advanced simulation and emulation, resilient communications, and autonomy experimentation. Our work programs contribute to the United States Air Force Operational Imperatives where we are enabling the warfighter to execute current and emerging kill chains effectively and efficiently in highly contested environments. We strongly value deep technical and operational expertise, a mission-oriented mindset, and a desire to firmly link the acquisition of advanced capabilities to operational warfighters, analysts, and end-users.

Our department is seeking candidates with knowledge and interest in mission engineering, modeling and simulation, and operational analysis. In this role you will work across the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) sponsors to shape and cohere effects chain and operational analysis efforts. Successful candidate(s) will understand end-to-end mission effects chains, including the underlying sensing, command and control, fires, and logistics, and how these variables would be employed in the mission-effects chain. Successful candidate(s) will implement and lead mission engineering, modeling and simulation, and operational analysis efforts to provide data driven

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and execute complex models and apply advanced analytical techniques within large-scale systems of systems architectures.

• Apply Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Digital Engineering concepts and practices to our sponsor and partners’ most critical challenges.

• Apply data analytics and visualization techniques to inform decision makers of influential alternatives within a trade spaces

• Accelerate transformational capabilities to the warfighter through prototyping, experimentation, and outreach to the operational community.

• Work with teams to produce hands-on prototypes that support data-driven recommendations that lead to , impactful results

• Collaborate with other engineers across MITRE in order to coordinate development efforts, bring the expertise of others to bear on projects, and ensure common standards of product quality

• Apply best practices in order to develop new or existing analysis, derive results, and form actionable data-driven recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences
