The Opportunity:
As a modeling and simulation Air Defense Artillery engineer, you understand the workings behind complex missile defense and sensor systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to developing high‑fidelity models, simulating threat engagements, and analyzing system performance to inform critical decisions for air and missile defense operations. We’re looking for an engineer who can use their skills to help our clients strengthen warfighter readiness, improve system effectiveness, and drive data‑informed modernization across U.S. air defense missions.
At Booz Allen, you’ll use your engineering and analytical skills to transform how the defense community anticipates, responds to, and mitigates evolving threats. Our team develops advanced modeling tools, builds next‑generation simulation environments, and delivers analytic capabilities that accelerate system development and improve defense planning. That’s why we need you, an Air Defense Artillery engineer with a background in modeling, simulation, or systems engineering to help us design and refine analytical frameworks and decision‑support tools for integrated air and missile defense.
On our team, you’ll build, validate, and run simulation models, evaluate interceptor, sensor, and fire-control performance, and explore system‑of‑systems behavior across real‑world operational scenarios. You’ll impact national defense by enabling commanders and acquisition stakeholders to visualize system performance, test concepts early, and understand trade‑offs that shape mission success. This is a chance to use your skills in systems modeling, threat analysis, and digital engineering while gaining experience with cutting‑edge simulation platforms, advanced analytics, and cloud‑based computational environments.
Take on exciting challenges in the defense community with us as we support and improve integrated air and missile defense capabilities that protect warfighters and critical assets worldwide.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
You Have:
Experience developing, analyzing, or supporting modeling and simulation (M&S) systems for defense, aerospace, or complex weapon systems
