• Build and maintain analytic toolsets representing each phase of the find, fix, target, track, engage, and assess (F2T2EA) chain using sensor, effects, and communications technologies, including decision support aids i.e. data visualization, Unity-game engines to support operations assessment, as well as lessons learned development/refinement experience

• Document model specifications for establishing a repository of simulation capabilities, frameworks, algorithms, system models, analytic toolsets etc. for reuse at multiple classification levels, while maintain configuration management protocols

• Support programs and pursuits by creating models, simulations, and analysis products. Determine requirements, develop simulation software, troubleshoot existing simulation capabilities, and create software designs and test plans

• Support requirements development, system verification, and concept of operations (CONOPS) development as well as work with Technical Leaders & SMEs to ensure modeling, simulation, analysis capabilities meet operational mission requirements

• Develop new simulation capabilities and processes for employment, enhance current analytic toolset

• Support internal and external technical expo/roadshows by providing knowledge sharing of signature simulation capabilities and products

• Support knowledge transfer i.e. coaching and mentorship of Junior technical talent across the MAG

  Qualifications:

• Master’s Degree or Doctorate Degree in STEM fields (Software/Computer/Electrical/Aerospace/Software/Systems Engineering, Physics) or closely related field and 20+ years of simulation software engineering experience.

• Advanced knowledge of computer simulation software architecture and operating systems

• Experience developing, testing, and fielding highly technical algorithms for signal analysis and implementation in mission analysis models

• 15+ years experience developing simulation capabilities in Gov/Industry MS&A analytic tools and frameworks

• 15+ years experience with scripting languages such as Anaconda with Python, simulation code development in Matlab, C++, Python, AFSIM, STK

• Experience with agile development methodology and Atlassian tools: JIRA, Confluence, etc.

• DoD Top Secret/SCI security clearance

  Preferred Additional Skills:

• Previous partnering experience with academic institutions, FFRDCs, and industry

• Systems analysis, modeling, simulation, algorithm development

• Tracking and location algorithms to include Direction of Arrival (DOA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA)

• Prior experience with JavaScript, MySQL

• Prior experience with operator in the loop virtual simulation

• Prior experience with DevOps technologies such as virtualization, scripting, Git, testing and automation

• Prior experience with machine learning, data analysis, and advanced algorithm design and development
