Space Exercise Modeling and Simulation Planner

Space Exercise Modeling and Simulation PlannerThe Opportunity:As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don't. You understand the nuances of complex military exercises and know how to integrate technical capabilities that enhance operational realism and training effectiveness. We're looking for an expert like you to develop innovative modeling and simulation solutions that strengthen Joint Force readiness and support missions that keep our nation safe.As a Space Exercise Modeling and Simulation Planner, you'll bring your technical, analytical, and exercise planning expertise to support United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) training, experimentation, and Tier 1 Joint exercises. You'll plan, coordinate, integrate, and synchronize modeling and simulation capabilities that enable realistic representations of military space operations across Space Domain Awareness (SDA), Orbital Warfare (OW), Missile Warning and Missile Defense (MWMD), Command and Control (C2), and Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO).You'll work alongside exercise planners, operational subject matter experts, mission partners, software developers, and government stakeholders to identify exercise objectives, determine modeling and simulation requirements, and integrate simulation capabilities into complex Joint training environments. You'll serve as a trusted advisor throughout the Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC) by translating training objectives into executable modeling and simulation plans that support exercise design, planning conferences, execution, and after-action analysis.You'll lead the planning, synchronization, and integration of modeling and simulation capabilities that improve exercise realism, enable tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) refinement, validate operational concepts, and strengthen Joint Force integration across Combatant Commands, Service Components, allies, and partners.Further your career with us as you help solve complex modeling and simulation integration challenges supporting the nation's most critical space missions.Join us.
