OSF Framework Configuration Developer

The qualified candidate will work within a team of engineers, developers, and system analyst professionals in processing Missile Defense System (MDS) scenario data (e.g. missile threat data, Radar Cross Section (RCS) data, Infrared (IR) data, Environmental data, Cloud Object Debris (COD) and Kinetic Impact Debris Distribution (KIDD)) and incorporating it into the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Objective Simulation Framework (OSF). OSF is used to integrate this data into configurations used to support MDA MDS interoperability and performance test and checkout using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) and Digital Simulations. The candidate will process large data sets in various formats using scripts and tools to convert the data for use within the Framework software. Candidate will need to be able to translate test requirements (e.g. Scenario Matrix) into Framework configuration settings.

Candidate will perform checkout and analysis of generated configurations to verify that all requirements are met and that data inputs are correct and correlates back to the original input data.
