Position Overview

The Garrett Group is seeking a highly experienced Senior ISR Modeling & Simulation Specialist to provide advanced technical expertise in high‑fidelity, physics‑based modeling, simulation, and analysis of global Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems and architectures. This senior‑level role supports the development, assessment, and optimization of ISR capabilities and TCPED processes while providing project leadership and subject‑matter expertise to enhance mission effectiveness across DoD and Intelligence Community operations.

Responsibilities

• Lead complex physics-based, discrete-event modeling and simulation efforts for existing, emerging, and conceptual global ISR systems and associated TCPED processes.
• Conduct detailed analysis of integrated ISR systems-of-systems architectures, environmental factors, and operational behaviors to inform ISR modernization strategies.
• Execute military war game and theater-level campaign modeling to evaluate ISR contributions within broader operational constructs.
• Analyze military ISR architectures, platforms, sensors, and TCPED processes to assess performance, identify gaps, and support future system development.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance ISR data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) tools using Python, Perl, HTML, C++, Java, and Visual Basic.
• Produce high-quality technical deliverables, including analytic papers, briefings, and data-driven assessments for senior decision-makers.
• Lead project activities, coordinate analytic workflows, and perform technical reviews to ensure rigor, accuracy, and mission alignment.
• Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams, clearly articulating requirements, methodologies, and findings to both technical and operational stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access.
• Demonstrated knowledge of geospatial and visualization tools including ArcGIS and Google Earth or similar platforms.
• Strong written and oral communication skills to articulate requirements, procedures, and analytic outputs.
• Comprehensive knowledge of the intelligence cycle and its relationship to DoD collection operations, platforms, and sensors.
• Experience in IC, DoD, and global ISR disciplines including GEOINT and SIGINT.
• Proficiency with Collection Requirements Management tools such as GIMS, PRISM, NSRP, and SAVANT.
• Proficiency with Collection Operations Management tools including ROME and BVI.
• Experience using COTS analytics platforms such as SAS Federal, Tableau, and Spotfire.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience performing physics-based, discrete-event, high‑fidelity modeling and simulation of global ISR systems and associated TCPED processes.
• Demonstrated experience conducting detailed analysis of ISR systems, integrated system-of-systems architectures, environmental factors, and TCPED processes.
• At least 4 years of current experience (within the past 5 years) modeling and analyzing military ISR architectures, systems, and TCPED processes.
• At least 1 year of current experience (within the past 4 years) conducting military war game or theater campaign modeling.
• Demonstrated experience with the full technical development lifecycle for validating integrated system, people, product, and process solutions.
• Proficiency in Python, Perl, HTML, C++, Java, and Visual Basic for developing and maintaining ISR modeling and ETL tools.
• Ability to build and maintain ETL methods for ISR web services to support modeling and analysis.
• Demonstrated experience conducting technical reviews of analytic products including briefs and technical papers.
• At least 1 year of project leadership experience (within the past 4 years), overseeing analytic tasks and ensuring the delivery of high-quality results.
