ISR Principal Modeling/Simulation Engineer

SAIC • Chantilly, VA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

The qualified applicant will provide local support to the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC), Multi-Domain Sensing Program (MDSP), Space-based Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISRT) Division with expertise in ISR systems/processes and modeling and simulation (M&S). Efforts include developing space-based ISR models, executing space-based ISR models, analyzing and assessing modeling and simulation results from analysis partners across all classification levels. This position requires significant technical understanding of space-based ISR as well as significant experience with M&S. Experience and understanding of airborne ISR capabilities is also desired. The candidate must be able to articulate what remote sensing is needed from tactical to strategic levels, where it needs to go and how fast it needs to get there; employ and develop modeling, simulation, and analysis tools; analyze modeling and simulation results; coordinate internal and external modeling and simulation efforts and provide recommendations on potential improvements to concepts and architectures.

Requirements

• Significant technical understanding of space-based ISR
• Significant experience with M&S
• Ability to articulate remote sensing needs from tactical to strategic levels, including destination and speed requirements
• Ability to employ and develop modeling, simulation, and analysis tools
• Ability to analyze modeling and simulation results
• Ability to coordinate internal and external modeling and simulation efforts
• Ability to provide recommendations on potential improvements to concepts and architectures
• Experience with Visual Basic, Python, and/or Matlab
• Experience with Systems Tool Kit (STK) or Satellite Orbit Analysis Program (SOAP)

Nice To Haves

• Experience and understanding of airborne ISR capabilities

Responsibilities

• Develop target (missile) simulations and corresponding trajectory and behavior files using industry standard M&S tools such as the Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM)
• Develop modeling and simulation analysis and assessment scripts using government network supportable tools such as Visual Basic, Python, and/or Matlab.
• Develop space-based missile warning access and performance models using industry standard M&S tools such as Systems Tool Kit (STK) or Satellite Orbit Analysis Program (SOAP) and integrate SWAC space-based ISR capability area force designs with modeling and simulation expertise.
• Assist in force design analysis planning, analysis execution coordination, and analysis results evaluation
• Recommend and document force design dependencies and opportunities (joint, intelligence community, industry, international and other government organizations)
• Assist with modeling inputs and simulation development for external M&S efforts
• Collaborate in cross-functional planning, coordination and task execution involving the full spectrum of systems engineering and integration activities for a force design effort.
• Coordinate efforts internally and externally with multiple agencies/organizations.
