Space Domain Awareness M&S SME

Space Domain Awareness M&S SME The Opportunity: Conduct research and develop and validate model parameters. Leverage substantial knowledge of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) objectives and capabilities integrated with experience in threat detection, characterization of intent, and operational readiness. Apply knowledge of the Space Surveillance Network and multi-mission sensors contributing to SDA to identify, assess and incorporate key parameters into modeling and simulation (M&S) environments. Think outside the box beyond traditional space-based ISR capabilities to inform future ISR architectures which negate threats to national security space capabilities. Where knowledge gaps exist, propose, model, and analyze technical solutions that inform Force Design requirements. Contribute to the validation of Force Design technical assumption, inputs and solutions. Leverage understanding of astrodynamics, optical and radar physics, and GEOINT, MASINT, and SIGINT intelligence disciplines to synthesize complex analysis in support of a cohesive, integrated SDA Force Design. Apply knowledge of various USAF and USSF enhancement activities in support of SDA to include ground-based radars, along with industry and international partnerships. Integrate strategic guidance, operational scenarios, and SDA Force Design at multiple classification levels. Identify dependencies and vulnerabilities to improve Force Design efforts. Document and coordinate SDA Force Design results and recommendations in accordance with established organizational force design processes and procedures. You Have: 6+ years of experience with space operations or space acquisition 3+ years of experience with ISR architecture development or analysis 3+ years of experience with modeling and simulation in space or DoW setting Experience with modeling and simulation tools and programming languages, such as MBSE, STK, AFSIM, Python, or MATLAB Experience with optical or radar remote sensing systems Experience with interfacing between organizations across the broader DoW and National Security Space Enterprise Knowledge of offensive and defensive space operations Knowledge of command and control operations Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Physical Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operational Research, or Computer Science Nice If You Have: Experience at COCOM, Component Command, HHQ or similar level DoW staff Experience with USSF and DoW Force Design process, Joint and CCMD requirements, and costing and resourcing functions Experience with Space Force and other DoD space agency special access program (SAP) activities Knowledge of missile defense, missile warning, and sensor management Knowledge of orbital mechanics and astrodynamics Master's degree in Information Technology, Physical Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operational Research, or Computer Science preferred; Doctorate degree in Information Technology, Physical Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operational Research, or Computer Science a plus Clearance: Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
