As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space. The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospace's strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The divisionleveragesa broad array of engineering disciplines against a dynamic portfolio of programs, customers, and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space and space-enabled capabilities. The Surveillance and Navigation Architecture Performance Department (SNAPD) in the Integrated Performance Subdivision aspires to be the premier forceadvisingthe evolution of national security and civil space enterprises,leveragingour modeling and simulation (M&S)expertiseto evaluateend-to-endarchitecture performance. We areseekingaRemote SensingArchitecture PerformanceEngineerthat will make use of sophisticatedmodeling andsimulation tools in support of requirements verification, analyses-of-alternatives (AoA), and performance modeling for space-basedremotesensingarchitectures. Work Model: 100% onsite at one of the three major Aerospace Corporation locations in ChantillyVA,orEl Segundo CA,or Colorado Springs CO. WhatYou'llBe Doing: * Support analysisin oneor moreof these specific mission areas: geo-spatial intelligence, signals intelligence, space surveillance,navigation systems,and/orspace protection supporting defense or intelligence capabilities. * Provide analysis to support recommendations for research, development, and acquisition decisions of legacy and emerging customer space-based sensingarchitectures. * Performarchitectureevaluationmodeling overall performanceusingin-house or custom-developed analysis tools. * Workcloselywithsenior staff, management, and a team to translate customer needs into projectobjectivesandprovidequality controlled and assured deliverables to customer organizations * Develop and presenttimelyand technicallyaccuratepresentations and reports that clearly communicate analysis results and provide recommended solutions to technical leads, management, and customers. * Growawarenessofanalysis outcomes toprovide initial assessmentswhen neededand defend unanticipated results toboth internal and external stakeholders. * Aid in sustainment, development, and growth of the organization's analysis and simulation capabilities to supportincreasingfunctional areas for our diverse customer base. ## Related Videos - [How Regex Works: The Secret Sauce Behind Pattern Matching](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1212-how-regex-works-the-secret-sauce-behind-pattern-matching) - [Implementing continuous delivery in a data processing pipeline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/73-implementing-continuous-delivery-in-a-data-processing-pipeline) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
