Job description

• Support the SSIO office with development of mission-specific and cross-portfolio M&S services, algorithms and effective characterization of likely scenario outcomes.
• Conduct requirements traceability from Mission Areas down to implementation of appropriate representative M&S simulations capable of accurately representing the physical dynamics, operations, and overall behavior of modeled systems.
• Model/simulate potential SoS and FoS materiel solutions and concepts in appropriate scenarios to evaluate and recommend modernization changes.
• Model materiel solutions that support determinations for system vulnerability, survivability and resilience, system performance including improved performance from enhancements and/or new technologies.
• Model materiel solutions that support utility trades, technology readiness assessment and related gathered intelligence.
• Establish Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) Verification and Validation (V&V) procedures for established MS&A tools and software upgrades
• Conduct V&V of Models used by the Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO); support maintenance of all Government models (AFSIM, SEAS, etc.), as directed by the Government.
• Assist with enterprise requirements development and JCIDS documentation
• Analyze technical derivatives of cross-cutting space requirements relevant to the simulation outcomes of implemented M&S artifacts.
• Recommend practical, mission-driven solutions to meet performance, affordability and sustainment goals
• Develop and present briefings, technical reports and architectural roadmaps
• Collaborate with SWAC, CSRO/S5R and PEO offices to define and prioritize M&S for SATCOM, PNT, Missile Warning/Tracking, TacISR, SBEM, BMC3 and Launch systems at SSC.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree
• 15+ YOE in a STEM field with emphasis in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Earth Science, Mathematics, Operations Analysis or related field
• Experience in the design, development, implementation, deployment, management or upgrade of a sufficiently complicated technical system within the SSIO mission space
• Proficient in the systems engineering process and at least one implementation technology (e.g., software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, mission engineering)
