• Identify and implement innovative testing methodologies, modeling and simulation approaches, digital engineering capabilities, and alternative validation techniques that reduce cost and schedule impacts while maintaining mission confidence.
• Coordinate exercise logistics, resources, personnel, communications, and operational support requirements across multiple organizations and geographic locations.
• Analyze exercise results and operational data to identify system strengths, limitations, risks, and opportunities for capability improvements.
• Develop technical reports, after-action assessments, lessons learned, and executive-level briefings to communicate exercise outcomes and recommendations.
• Support verification, validation, and accreditation activities associated with mission systems and operational capabilities.
• Provide technical leadership and systems engineering expertise throughout the exercise lifecycle, from concept development through execution and assessment.
• Travel to CONUS and OCONUS locations to support planning conferences, operational coordination, test events, and exercise execution activities.
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Operations Research, or a related technical discipline.
• 9+ years of experience supporting systems engineering, operational testing, military exercises, mission operations, or space system development programs.
• Demonstrated experience planning and executing operational tests, exercises, demonstrations, or capability assessments.
• Experience developing test objectives, operational scenarios, performance metrics, and validation methodologies.
• Knowledge of systems engineering principles, test and evaluation processes, and mission assurance practices.
• Experience collaborating with DoD organizations, Intelligence Community agencies, and multi-organizational mission partners.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop creative solutions to complex operational challenges.
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and coordinate activities across geographically dispersed organizations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with experience briefing senior government and military leadership.
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively to CONUS and OCONUS locations.
• Active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph; eligibility for required program access.
Desired:
• Experience supporting National Security Space, ISR, GEOINT, SATCOM, or other space-based mission programs.
• Familiarity with Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC) processes and military exercise planning frameworks.
