Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. D&G Solutions is a mission-focused government contractor supporting Federal Government clients and defense-related logistics initiatives. The company is seeking an Operations Research Analyst to design and interpret mission-level modeling and simulation for heavy airlift and unmanned aerial cargo concepts. The role analyzes operational trade-offs, tests logistics network constraints, and translates quantitative findings into capability-gap and ROI insights for government stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Design and execute modeling and simulation algorithms or tools in support of logistics use cases, with a specific focus on heavy airlift cargo and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) cargo requirements
- Develop and execute credible, repeatable simulation scenarios that directly address defined logistics use cases and decision questions
- Conduct comparative trade-space analyses between manned and unmanned platform capabilities
- Evaluate variables including payload capacity, runway independence, turnaround times, and overall network throughput
- Design and execute sensitivity analyses and constraint testing to identify operational vulnerabilities and tipping points
- Assess conditions such as degraded communications and denied runways to determine when UAS platforms gain or lose operational advantage
- Synthesize raw simulation outputs and analytical metrics into actionable operational insights
- Identify capability gaps and develop return-on-investment (ROI) narratives for government stakeholders
- Translate complex quantitative findings into decision-ready analytical products that clearly connect model outputs to mission impact
Skills
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university in Operations Research, Mathematics, or a closely related quantitative field
- 8+ years of experience in defense operations research, military logistics analysis, or mission-level modeling and simulation
- Proficiency in Python and SQL
- Strong experience with discrete-event and/or agent-based simulation packages
- Experience presenting modeling and simulation results, capability gaps, or ROI analyses to Federal Government stakeholders
- Deep understanding of modeling and simulation as applied to logistics concepts and operational decision-making
- Remote
