Roles and Responsibilities:
MITRE’s ASA Department seeks a military operations research analyst, capable of studying current and future conflict scenarios; analytically exploring concepts of operation; and developing and assessing investment strategies for national security systems.
You will engage MITRE peers from a variety of disciplines, and potentially advise leadership in multiple Department of Defense (DoD) organizations to assess and generate alternatives for US national security forces across all the conflict domains (air, ground, space, maritime, and cyber).

This is an exciting opportunity to explore topics of emerging national security importance, such as strategic deterrence, contested logistics, and next generation command and control architectures. As a member of a small but growing Departmental analysis group, your role will contribute to the overall technical quality, direction, and strategic outcomes of the ASA operational analysis work program.
