• Active TS clearance required; TS/SCI eligibility required, with active TS/SCI strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience with threat surrogate development, verification and validation (V&V), intelligence data and threat assessments, and integration of threat models into Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) test environments.
• Experience developing requirements, test methodologies, test plans, technical assessments, and briefing materials for senior government and program leadership.
• Strong communication skills and proven ability to work effectively across the DoD, IC, national labs, federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), industry, and academia.

• Experience with Air EW systems, countermeasures, rapid reprogramming test environments, IC-accredited threat models, mobile threat simulators, and major platform programs such as fighter, unmanned, Artificial Intelligence (AI) -enabled, or electronic attack aircraft.
• Experience working with organizations such as TETRA, MSIC, NASIC, DOT&E, TRMC, AFRL, NRL, NAWCAD, or major defense industry laboratories and test organizations.
• DAWIA or equivalent certification in Systems Engineering, T&E, or Program Management is preferred.
Work Conditions & Travel:
