As a senior member of the JIAMDO SETA team, you will lead Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) efforts supporting J8 requirements. This role includes planning analytical campaigns based on Joint Staff priorities, contributing to the development of effective modeling and simulation architecture, overseeing execution of complex analysis plans, and managing analytical staff. Success in this position requires strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with the Joint Staff and technical stakeholders across the DoW.
Responsibilities include:
- Support the modeling, simulation, and analysis of Blue and Red weapons systems, platforms, sensors, and networks within OSD-approved scenarios.
- Use simulation tools, MATLAB, and statistical methods to analyze system trade-offs and predict capability utility across mission threads.
- Develop system performance metrics that provide actionable insights to government customers and decision-makers.
- Independently engage with customers to define requirements, establish assumptions, set expectations and timelines, and document key findings.
- Lead identification of critical Blue and Red model elements required to meet customer analysis objectives and manage efforts to build or procure the appropriate models.
- Work with Service organizations and Intelligence Community partners to obtain key data needed to support effective J8 modeling at the appropriate level of detail with well-documented assumptions.
- Coordinate teams of analysts developing models of tactical scenarios to assess system trade space and demonstrate mission utility.
- Collaborate with FFRDCs, vendors, Intelligence Community elements, and other organizations to build authoritative models focused on key joint mission challenges.
- Prepare analytical reports and presentation materials, including both narrative and graphical products, and brief technical findings to government leadership at all levels.
- Travel as required to engage with the MS&A community of interest in support of J8 analysis efforts.
- Mentor and integrate junior analysts into analysis plans while leading the team in producing high-impact, complex analyses aligned to Joint Staff priorities.
- Analyze environmental data and assess impacts on real-world platforms and sensors.
- Apply advanced statistical methods to improve system capability effectiveness.
- Lead development of standard operating procedures documenting J8 analysis methodologies and implement QA/QC processes to ensure high-quality analytical deliverables.
- Clearly communicate complex technical methods and findings to both internal teams and customers.
- Develop presentations that communicate analysis methodologies and results to a range of audiences, from technical exchanges and community forums to Flag-level decision-makers.
- Evaluate and apply emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to improve and streamline analytical processes.
