PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS

• Experience withspace systemM&S(military, contractor, or DoD civilian)as a SETA or SE&I support staff
• Familiarity with theDoD acquisition lifecycleandJCIDSprocesses
• Background/experiencein SSC mission areas: SATCOM, PNT, MW/MT, Space Weather, C3BM, Space Superiority, ISR and Ground/Network segments
• Experience implementing a space system supportive of / critical to the current SSIO mission space (e.g., SATCOM, PNT, Missile Warning/Tracking,TacISR, SBEM, BMC3, Launch)
• Experience inM&Sof both systems and mission scenarios
• Knowledge of statistical performance measurements and system / scenario performance evaluation
• Background in development,implementationand execution of stochastic modeling V&V programs

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support the SSIO office with development of mission-specific and cross-portfolio M&S services, algorithms and effective characterization of likely scenario outcomes.
• Conduct requirements traceability from Mission Areas down to implementation of appropriate representative M&S simulations capable of accurately representing the physical dynamics, operations, and overall behavior of modeled systems.
• Model/simulate potential SoS and FoS materiel solutions and concepts in appropriate scenarios to evaluate and recommend modernization changes.
• Model materiel solutions that support determinations for system vulnerability, survivability and resilience, system performance including improved performance from enhancements and/or new technologies.
• Model materiel solutions that support 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 Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO); support maintenance of all Government models (AFSIM, SEAS, etc.), as directed by the Government.
• Assistwithenterprise requirements development and JCIDS documentation
• Analyze technical derivatives of cross-cutting space requirements relevant to the simulation outcomes of implemented M&S 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 M&S for SATCOM, PNT, Missile Warning/Tracking, TacISR, SBEM, BMC3 and Launch systems at SSC
