ISR & Model -Simulation Analyst (SWAC)

Job Description

Description

JOB DESCRIPTION: 

The qualified applicant will provide on-site support to the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC), Space-based ISR Division with expertise in ISR systems/processes and modeling and simulation (M&S). Efforts include (but not limited to): support to war-games, exercises, and operational space protection issues as well as support providing adequate information to all SWAC COEs and SSDP, ensuring accuracy of in depth models. 

This position requires significant technical understanding of ISR as well as significant experience with M&S.  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; and provide recommendations on potential improvements to concepts and architectures. 

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support and integrate SWAC capability area force designs
• Assist in the set up and execution of force design forums
• Recommend/document force design dependencies and opportunities (joint, intelligence community, industry, international and other government organizations)
• Support USSF lead for joint campaign scenarios
• Assist with modeling inputs and simulation development
• Develop an ISR future architecture that optimizes resources and integration efficiencies
• Collaborate in cross-functional planning, coordination and task execution involving the full spectrum of systems engineering, modeling and simulation
• Coordinate efforts internally and externally with multiple agencies/organ
