Local •The Opportunity:
CACI is currently seeking a Journeyman Scientists and Science Technician II in support of a program whose initiative is aimed at combating evolving and emerging threats, supporting related exploitation and replication activities, and advancing operational rehearsal, exercise, wargaming, and counter system development. Additionally, we are focusing on integration and experimentation, including Modeling and Simulation. By joining this team, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the U.S. and our allies' ability to develop and apply models and simulations throughout the lifecycle of military and commercial technologies and systems. Your work will help ensure Warfighter readiness and the realization of future capabilities.Responsibilities:
- Conduct research into physical phenomena and develop theories based on observation and experiments
- Apply physical laws and theories to support modeling and simulation requirements for weapon systems development
- Provide technical expertise in support of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation environments
- Support systems engineering activities across all phases of the acquisition lifecycle for aviation, ground, missile, space, sea, and soldier weapon systems
- Perform data engineering and advanced analytics on simulation data, including application of AI/ML techniques
- Develop and evaluate simulation models to support training exercises, analysis, and system validation
- Support Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) initiatives and digital transformation efforts
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including government partners, contractors, and system developers
- Participate in exercise planning, execution, and post-event analysis for Joint and Coalition training events
- Apply systems engineering principles to evaluate integrated systems for multi-domain operations
