As an Operations Analyst at General Dynamics Mission Systems, you will analyze patterns and trends within battlefield environments to assess interacting sensor, tracker, communication, and weapon systems across multi-domain operations. You will collaborate with domain experts to integrate key enablers and effects, and present your findings through white papers and briefings to technical and senior audiences. Your work directly supports U.S. national security and warfighting capabilities.

Responsibilities

Identify patterns and trends within battlefield environments to analyze interacting sensor, tracker, communication, and weapon systems across multi-domain, mission-level operations — translating observations into actionable insights that inform approaches and support decision-making
Collaborate with domain and technology experts to determine how to most effectively integrate key enablers and effects in a multi-domain environment, including trend discovery, risk assessment, options analysis, and documentation of uncertainties
Present analyses through white papers, briefings, and presentations to both technical specialists and senior decision-makers

Requirements

Requires a Bachelor's degree preferably in applied mathematics, statistics, data science, data analytics or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience or Master's degree in a related technical discipline plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience
**CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:**Department of Defense Top Secret security clearance is preferred at time of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.
PhD or MS in a technical or scientific field (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, or related) with 15+ years of relevant experience
Understanding of military operations, tactics, strategies, and trade-off considerations, including at the Combatant Command level
Experience leading teams, managing workflow and workload balancing, and supporting internal/external engagements

Nice to have

Experience working within Special Access communities, particularly developing or integrating systems across Air, Space, Surface, Ground, Undersea, or Cyber warfare domains is highly preferred
Experience with modeling and simulation frameworks such as AFSIM for multi-domain, mission-level analysis is highly desired
Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or Codex to accelerate analysis, modeling, and rapid prototyping is a plus
Experience designing and conducting analytical wargames — including automated, LLM-driven, and tabletop formats — to explore strategy, force structure, and capability trade-offs
Familiarity with Counter-UAS (C-UAS) operations, technologies, and threat analysis
Experience supporting Homeland Security missions, including border and critical infrastructure defense
