As a System Administrator IV, you will build and sustain the Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) environments that anchor Code MXM's EMSO modeling and simulation. Working with the LVC team and LVC Lead, you will establish and maintain a Naval Integrated Fire Control – Electronic Warfare (NIFC-EW) node, plan and execute distributed and non-distributed LVC events, and integrate constructive engines and simulators into a unified system. You will be a member of the Cybersecurity Workforce (CSWF) and maintain the qualifications required to operate in classified simulation environments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Establish and maintain a NIFC-EW node in accordance with MIL-HDBK-539, in conjunction with the LVC team.
• Plan and execute distributed and non-distributed LVC events, including scripting/code to unify disparate M&S systems.
• Integrate constructive engines and simulators — NCTE, NGTS, JSAF, and AFSIM — and Naval Spectrum Dependent Systems databases via the Real Time Spectrum Operations (RTSO) tool.
• Support Hardware-In-the-Loop (HWIL) applications and enable interaction across M&S applications.
• Integrate Numerical Weather Prediction data fusion and evaluate/integrate ONR-provided TRL-6+ tools (e.g., TruView) into the LVC to model the Electromagnetic Operational Environment.
• Analyze EW gaps, develop requirements for present/future LVC environments, and support EW Fusion tools, Link messages, and combat-system interfaces (AEGIS, SSDS).
• Perform site visits and planning meetings at NSWC Crane and remote sites (Patuxent River, MD; Pt. Mugu, CA; Huntsville, AL; NSWC Dahlgren, VA; Washington, D.C.).
