Experience with space system M&S (military, contractor, or DoD civilian) as a SETA or SE&I support staff Familiarity with the DoD acquisition lifecycle and JCIDS processes Background/experience in 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 in M&S of both systems and mission scenarios Knowledge of statistical performance measurements and system / scenario performance evaluation Background in development, implementation and 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. Assist with enterprise 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.
