ISSAC offers competitive salaries, Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance. We also have generous PTO, federal holidays off, education assistance, 401K program and profit sharing.

Job Description: Perform model-based systems engineering (MBSE) functional and behavior analysis for the defeat of conventional and advanced Threats (e.g., ballistic, aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, etc.) systems within the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) mission area. Participate in a MBSE environment to develop system-of-systems requirements via system/component trade studies and analysis. Contributes to publishing change notices to MDA's system specification and update of requirements databases, architectural models, interface definitions, and DoDAF 2+ compliant based design packages to document, allocate and trace system and Element level requirements. Document analysis results in reports and briefings for critique and review by SC&R and Team stakeholders. Create and present briefings within the team and to Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and supporting stakeholders.

Required Qualifications: Individual must demonstrate a strong technical background in architecture development, functional decompositions, requirements development and allocation, and interface definition with system-modeling tools. Individual must be able to demonstrate knowledge with the use of SysML to describe behaviors of a complex DoD system. Must have strong prior experience with use of MSOSA (Cameo) and DOORS and demonstrated knowledge in any of the MDA domain areas; including Ground based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTTS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF). Candidate must demonstrate ability to think critically and capture concepts in papers, presentations, and discussions. Individual must possess good communication skills. Candidate must be capable of working both independently and within a small team environment. The successful candidate must also be willing to assume a technical leadership role.

Desired Qualifications: Demonstrated experience modeling or simulating missile defense applications or similar domains (air combat, air defense, intercept of ballistic targets, intercept of non-ballistic targets, space vehicles, sub-orbital mechanics, etc.). Knowledge of ballistic and advanced threat systems (e.g aero-maneuvering, hypersonic, hyper-glide, countermeasures, ect.). Modeling and analysis experience in aspects of the missile defense system (e.g. Aegis Weapons Systems, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Glide Phase Intercept (GPI), Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), Fire Control, C2BMC, MDS sensors (EO/IR/RF), kill vehicles, interceptors, countermeasures, ect.). Systems engineering experience with large, complex systems.

Education: Degree and experience in engineering classification, mathematics or physics: Bachelor's, Master's or PhD.
