Job Description
Provide technical support to the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) to conduct mission engineering activities that identify and prioritize investments in capabilities meeting warfighting needs, closing gaps, and enabling Joint Force interoperability and integration. Utilize modeling and simulation (M&S) tools and advanced techniques to develop and analyze critical Joint Mission Engineering Threads (METs) / "Kill Webs" in operational scenarios, supporting informed technology investment decisions by DoD leaders.
Roles/Responsibilities:
* Apply scientific and engineering knowledge to assess requirements, design solutions, and develop plans, specifications, cost estimates, and procurement packages for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, utility, and mission-critical systems.
* Design and execute quantitative mission-level modeling and simulation analyses to evaluate system performance, trade-offs, and impacts within defense or military contexts.
* Use mission-level digital tools such as AFSIM to develop models for scenarios, missions, and systems; perform data post-processing, visualization, and debugging of simulation models.
* Understand mission architecture (mission threads), kill chains, kill webs, and integrate models to represent DoD system-of-systems performance across domains (space, air, maritime, land, cyber).
Required Skills and Education:
* Minimum 4 years of experience in designing and executing mission-level modeling and simulation analyses within defense or military sectors.
* At least 3 years of experience with mission-level digital tools such as AFSIM, including model development, data analysis, visualization, and debugging.
* 3 years of experience with mission architecture, kill chains, kill webs, and integrating models of DoD system-of-systems across various domains.
Education:
* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related discipline.
