    • Experience with analysis and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, AGI/STK, Python).
    • Familiarity with the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) toolset.
  • Must possess an in-scope security background investigation (T5 or SSBI), adjudicated for SCI eligibility, and enrolled in the Continuous Evaluation program (if applicable).
  • Willingness to be nominated for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information and Special Access Programs, and consent to a Polygraph examination.
