Requirements

A Bachelor of Science degree in a relevant field is required.
A Master of Science degree in a relevant field is required.
At least 15 years of experience in a STEM field, emphasizing Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Earth Science, Mathematics, Operations Analysis, or a related field.
Experience designing, developing, implementing, deploying, managing, or upgrading a sufficiently complicated technical system within the SSIO mission space.
Proficiency in the systems engineering process and at least one implementation technology, such as software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or mission engineering.
Technical program leadership of a technical implementation team.
Experience in basic team development and individual leadership training.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), MATLAB, AFSIM, and STK, and adaptability to new analytical tools.
Strong written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and complex tasks in a fast-paced environment.
Willingness to travel as required.
A Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility is required.

Responsibilities

Support the SSIO office by developing mission-specific and cross-portfolio modeling and simulation services and algorithms, and effectively characterizing likely scenario outcomes.
Conduct requirements traceability from mission areas through implementation of representative modeling and simulation simulations capable of accurately representing the physical dynamics, operations, and overall behavior of modeled systems.
Model and simulate potential SoS and FoS materiel solutions and concepts in appropriate scenarios to evaluate and recommend modernization changes.
Model materiel solutions supporting determinations of system vulnerability, survivability, resilience, system performance, and performance improvements from enhancements or new technologies.
Model materiel solutions supporting 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 SSC SSIO and support maintenance of Government models, including AFSIM and SEAS, as directed by the Government.
Assist with enterprise requirements development and JCIDS documentation.
Analyze technical derivatives of cross-cutting space requirements relevant to simulation outcomes of implemented modeling and simulation 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 modeling and simulation for SATCOM, PNT, Missile Warning/Tracking, TacISR, SBEM, BMC3, and Launch systems at SSC.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with space system modeling and simulation in a military, contractor, or DoD civilian capacity as SETA or SE&I support staff.
Familiarity with the DoD acquisition lifecycle and JCIDS processes.
Background or experience in SSC mission areas: SATCOM, PNT, MW/MT, Space Weather, C3BM, Space Superiority, ISR, and Ground/Network segments.
Experience implementing a space system supportive of or critical to the current SSIO mission space, such as SATCOM, PNT, Missile Warning/Tracking, TacISR, SBEM, BMC3, or Launch.
Experience in modeling and simulation of both systems and mission scenarios.
Knowledge of statistical performance measurements and system/scenario performance evaluation.
Background in development, implementation, and execution of stochastic modeling V&V programs.
