• Support special studies as needed to include experimental efforts showing concept feasibility, analysis, data integration, and software development for communication technologies.
• Provide excellent customer support and demonstrate an ability to communicate with all levels of leadership and/or customers.
• Develop, apply, and evaluate advanced technologies that highlight concept solutions across multiple domains (air, land, sea, space) and mission areas.
• ProficiencyinAFSIM, MATLAB, Python, or other advanced simulation tools to deliver validated models and benchmarking analysis.
• Provide technical integration and implementation of other system simulation tools (e.g. ground and air vehicle six-degree-of-freedom, sensor/detector hardware) to analyze mission-level communication technologies captured in AFSIM and OneSAF.
• Lead efforts in defining study questions to address areas of concern and translate them into analysis plans.
• Develop models in physics simulation frameworks to represent system performance and behaviors.
• Perform verification and validation of simulation input, output and results.
• Develop run matrices and lead a study team to conduct simulation runs and produce output.
• Post-process data into measures of merit and effectiveness to support the analysis plan objectives.
• Lead interpretation of model results and development of presentations to deliver findings and conclusions to the customer in support of their analytical objectives.
• Ensure quality of modeling & simulation products, including briefings for stakeholders/customers.
• Build & deliver metrics-based products and executive-level presentations and assist in producing simulation-driven visualizations. Document and deliver simulation results, technical approaches, and process insights to program stakeholders and mission partners.Develop and implement strategies to integrate Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), digital twins, and advanced simulation tools into engineering workflows.
• Lead the evaluation, selection, and deployment of digital engineering platforms and technologies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align engineering initiatives with organizational goals.
