Strategic Studies Military Operations Analyst Sr

What We’re Doing

At Lockheed Martin, we are shaping the future of defense through advanced Operations Analysis (OA). Our work supports the Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) Strategic Studies Group (SSG), helping envision and enable next‑generation capabilities for our customers and the warfighter. Through modeling, simulation, and analytical insight, we inform product strategy and Department of Defense operational concepts for the future battlespace.

As part of the OA organization, this role leads and executes studies using modeling, simulation, and analysis of military systems. These efforts assess the impact of new operational concepts, system designs, weapons, tactics, and force structure on mission effectiveness and survivability.

The role also supports cross‑business area simulations, virtual events, and wargaming activities.

This senior analyst exercises judgment in defining objectives, leads complex analysis efforts, and serves as the primary OA interface with internal and external stakeholders.

Lockheed Martin’s RMS business area delivers advanced solutions across defense, aerospace, and security. Our team consists of collaborative analysts, engineers, and innovators working at the intersection of strategy, technology, and analytics to solve complex, real‑world problems.

You are a motivated technical leader with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills who thrives in a collaborative, Agile environment. You bring experience or proficiency in operations research, systems engineering, applied mathematics, strategic modeling and simulation (e.g., AFSIM), data analytics, and technical communication. You enjoy learning, thinking strategically, contributing to sprint objectives, and supporting informed technical decision‑making. Occasional travel is expected.

Your work will directly influence critical defense decisions and future capabilities. We offer opportunities to work on high‑impact strategic studies, a culture grounded in innovation and integrity, continuous professional development, competitive compensation and benefits, and the chance to shape the future of national security.
