The 392CTS operates the organic state-of-the-art Space Wargaming Analysis, Readiness and Mission-Planner (SWARM) capability to provide space M&S for USSF exercises and mission-focused events. The M&S Developer will support exercise scenario development for USSF exercises (e.g., SPACE FLAG) by creating orbital and terrestrial models and simulations using SWARM’s internal M&S-based tools and applicable M&S tools. This position is at Schriever Space Force Based, CO, and requires on-site support

ESSENTIAL DUTIES:

• Carry out tasks as directed by contract leadership required to ensure 392 CTS mission success.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 10+ years working in or for DoD organizations.
• Experience using STK, ODTK, and other M&S tools to plan analysis of orbital maneuvers, build functional orbital and space terrestrial models (e.g., space domain awareness (SDA), communications, electronic warfare, directed energy), and develop exercise scenarios.
• Experience supporting modeling, simulation, and analysis of national security space-related problems.
• Experience modeling space scenarios for system evaluation and mission effectiveness.
• Experience (i.e., a basic proficiency) in coding languages (e.g., Python, Matlab, Perl)
• Experience inorbitanalysis and prediction.

PREFFERED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience managing projects from initial design to completion.
• Level III certified in STK
• Previously certified Orbital Analyst
• Graduate of Space 300 and the 319 CTS/ASOPS Advanced Orbital Mechanics courses

EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION:

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution; additional years of experience may be substituted for degree requirement.
