• Experience with Unreal, NVIDIA Omniverse, and Unity simulation engines.
• Familiarity with AFSIM, OneSAF, CyberVAN, EMANE, and other defense-oriented simulation programs.
• Previous experience conducting on-site integration events with Soldiers and industry partners.
• Demonstrated ability with experimental design, test engineering, and data analysis.
• Familiarity with application programming interfaces (APIs) within a simulation environment.
• Demonstrated experience with software architecture and model-based systems engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a fast paced and fluid work environment under changing priorities with little guidance.
• Experience briefing or communicating with senior government stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with attention to detail.
• Position is full-time on-site at APG.
• Must have a current driver's license.
• Travel: 15%
• Must be a U.S. Citizen
• Must have an active DoD Secret clearance upon hire, and the ability to maintain this level of clearance during employment. TS/SCI preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.

Nice To Haves

• Modeling and Simulation development experience in Unreal or NVIDIA Omniverse.
• Prior experience (government or industry) supporting U.S. Army acquisition programs or prototyping efforts.
• Strong skills in stakeholder coordination, team leadership, and executive-level communication.
• Experience with enterprise scheduling tools, MBSE generation tools, and high-level systems-of-systems architecture.
• Familiarity with network simulation and network effects simulation tools.
• Experience conducting Soldier Touch Points and Soldier-integrated test events.
• Test Engineering certificates or experience preferred.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement verification and validation (V&V) frameworks within the Virtual Proving Ground (VPG) Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) ecosystem.
• Ensure technical alignment and traceability between VPG test capabilities and the Mission Autonomy Common Control Architecture (MACCA).
• Oversee the integration of digital twins, simulation plugins, and synthetic environments across unclassified and secured network enclaves (IL2/IL5).
• Serve as a primary technical evaluator for emergent commercial and non-traditional autonomy solutions; assess maturity and feasibility for entry into the VPG pipeline.
• Support rapid integration initiatives, hackathons, and technology demonstrations to benchmark cutting-edge autonomous solutions against DoW mission requirements.
• Design methodologies to capture quantitative performance data alongside qualitative Soldier feedback during simulated and live-virtual exercises.
• Identify promising high-TRL capabilities suitable for accelerated/fast-track transition into operational validation pipelines.
• Partner with Mission Engineering teams, ATEC, and operational units to translate Warfighter CONOPs into executable, high-fidelity mission threads.
• Establish robust test metrics and evaluation criteria to validate multi-domain orchestrators, autonomy stacks, and robotic formations under realistic operational conditions.
• Represent PMO technical equities across partner commands, including ARL, ATEC, and joint stakeholder working groups.
• Maintain technical roadmaps and synchronization schedules covering simulation milestones, integration events, and vendor evaluation cadences.
