Responsibilities
* Lead technical planning, system integration, and verification and validation (V&V) activities for simulated land military vehicle platforms and mission systems.
* Conduct system and technical analyses to support the design, development, integration, and sustainment of vehicle models, digital twins, and simulated subsystems (e.g., communications, sensors, EW, and weapon systems).
* Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues within simulation environments, including network configurations, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups, and model integration challenges, while maintaining configuration-managed baselines.
* Develop and execute validation plans to ensure simulation fidelity, accuracy, and correlation with real-world vehicle performance.
* Create and implement preventive maintenance and update plans for simulation frameworks, databases, models, and supporting lab infrastructure to ensure continuous operational readiness.
Basic Qualifications
* Bachelor’s degree in a related field with at least 5 years of professional experience; or a Master’s degree with at least 3 years of professional experience.
* Experience supporting projection, display, and visualization systems, as well as vehicle crew station hardware, electronic interfaces, and associated mechanical assemblies within simulation environments.
* Minimum of 5 years of experience with Linux and Microsoft operating systems, including Microsoft-based tools and products.
* 3–5 years of hands-on experience installing, configuring, modifying, and integrating simulation system software and hardware.
* At least 3 years of experience in distributed modeling and simulation (DM&S) environments and complex IT/AV system infrastructures.
Desired Skills
* Experience supporting high-fidelity simulation systems operating across multiple security classification levels.
* Background in system design and development to support experimentation, test events, and capability assessments.
* Strong understanding of network architecture, implementation, and troubleshooting, including familiarity with simulation-specific communication protocols.
* Experience performing technical analyses to support the design, installation, integration, sustainment, and operational use of devices, systems, and subsystems.
* Demonstrated ability to identify and implement effective solutions to complex technical issues, including system, network, and infrastructure reconfiguration.
* Proven ability to coordinate and lead projects or initiatives across multiple functional disciplines and diverse stakeholder groups.
