Qualifications
Education and Experience
- 5 to 15 years of Air and Space operations experience
- Non-technical baccalaureate degree, however, additional years of experience plus formal, on-the-job training in a related field can be substituted
- Current TS/SCI clearance
- Military wargame, and or concepts and plans experience
- Must-have Military experience to do the work - either direct space operational experience of 3 years or more
Desired Experience
- Familiar with at least two of: AFSIM, Falcon View, STK, GMAT, STORM
- Experience with and ready access to both SIPRNET and JWICS terminals to build classified scenarios at the appropriate level
- Ability to see the operational and strategic picture and communicate it
Responsibilities
As A Scenario Designer you will:
- Leverage experience to design operational military scenarios and vignettes based on Intelligence Community data, estimates, and calculated forward-projection.
- Create realistic approximations of real-world combat operations by modeling the functions of friendly and adversary systems in a software-agnostic machine-readable format.
- Create orders of battle, master scenario events list, and script movement of forces across all domains.
- Derive and translate requirements for engineering staff; ensure customer simulation system needs are met with company-developed and commercial software.
- Work with a software developer team to build test cases for software, hardware, subsystem, and system modules to verify system specifications are met.
- Ensure scenario compatibility with a suite of simulation tools to facilitate both wargaming and analysis at the engineering, mission, and campaign levels.
- Work with systems engineers to build and develop SysML models of real-world systems to act wholly or in part as digital twins.
- Attend military wargames to provide technical support and keep abreast of the latest CONOPS and OPLANS for more realistic scenario design.
