Modeling, Simulation & IV&V Analyst

WiSC Enterprises is seeking an experienced Modeling, Simulation, and IV&V Analyst to support the development, assessment, and validation of modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities. This role focuses on evaluating complex threat systems, guiding scenario-based simulations, and conducting independent verification and validation (IV&V) of vendor-provided M&S tools to ensure they meet technical and operational requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Guide the development and management of modeling and simulation (M&S) programs focused on characterizing adversary capabilities and threat systems

• Support the design and execution of M&S programs for detailed engagement scenario analysis and mission planning

• Conduct independent verification and validation (IV&V) of vendor-supplied M&S systems to ensure technical accuracy and compliance with government requirements

• Evaluate simulation outputs for consistency, reliability, and operational relevance to intended use cases

• Work closely with systems engineers, analysts, and government stakeholders to refine model parameters and ensure alignment with program objectives

• Contribute to the development of technical documentation, validation reports, and model performance briefs

• Recommend improvements or modifications to M&S approaches based on analysis outcomes, user feedback, and evolving mission needs

Required Qualifications

• Clearance: Active TS/SCI required

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or related technical field (Master’s preferred)

• Experience:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in modeling and simulation, systems analysis, or IV&V within a defense, aerospace, or intelligence environment

  • Experience guiding or conducting M&S of adversary systems, threat modeling, or engagement scenarios

  • Familiarity with simulation tools, frameworks, and software commonly used in defense applications (e.g., AFSIM, STK, MATLAB, Simulink)

• Skills:

  • Strong understanding of M&S lifecycle, validation principles, and test methodologies

  • Experience developing or assessing M&S verification plans and technical documentation

  • Ability to interpret complex technical data and translate results into actionable insights for decision-makers

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to brief technical and non-technical stakeholders
