J7 Modeling and Simulation Joint Training/Exercise Planner

Title:
J7 Modeling and Simulation Joint Training/Exercise Planner

KBR is seeking a J7 Modeling and Simulation Joint Training/Exercise Planner to join our team in Colorado Springs, CO. An active TS/SCI clearance is MANDATORY.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide modeling and simulation (M&S) integration and execution support to USSPACECOM exercises, training, and wargames, including supporting analysis, review, and assessment of key performance parameters and coordinating with appropriate system architects/engineers to resolve any issues or troubleshoot M&S tools being used and provide resolution to obtain the needed capability.
• Using government provided tools and models, develop, test, and execute fully integrated and dynamic M&S to simulate all display systems used during exercises, training, and wargames. The following systems, as a minimum, are required:
  • Common Operational Picture (COP), SDCCS, STK, JIMDTS, PDS-M, Intelink, and ITW/AA displays.
• Coordinate with internal and external customers/organizations during the planning phase to identify and implement an appropriate simulation architecture based on requirements and objectives of a given event. Propose technical solutions and/or alternatives to requirements not currently integrated into a simulation architecture.
• Support the selection, implementation, and execution of detailed computer models or alternative analysis tools for assessment, experimentation, concept development, demonstrations, prototyping, and wargames.
• Develop use cases, user scenarios, concepts of operations, and assist in designing simulation experiments to support modeling and simulation analytics.
• Provide innovative M&S services and capabilities. Assist the government with responsible prototyping of new M&S offerings through experimentation, prototyping, testing, and fielding of already developed components into the distributed training environment. Support technical planning and communication of the architecture design and development in order to facilitate integration of the M&S effort's delivery to a world-wide training audience.
• Perform Simulation Coordinator functions for specified exercises/training events to include facilitation of the M&S Working Group at planning conferences, selection of appropriate M&S tools, coordination with internal and external agencies, and conduct of database/system event tests.
• Support research, test, evaluation, and implementation of existing and emerging hardware and software M&S systems with the potential to improve current simulation capabilities or to stimulate current or near-future operational systems within the USSPACECOM mission set that are not currently stimulated by simulations during exercise and training events.
• Demonstrate depth of expertise in the following areas: space operations intelligence, modeling and simulation activities, use of government provided tools and models to develop, test, and execute fully-integrated and dynamic M&S systems with the potential to improve current capabilities.
• Provide M&S controller/role player tasks during exercise/training events.
• Archive data and maintain historical M&S databases.

Qualifications:

Required:

• An active TS/SCI with ACCM and SAP eligibility, which is something only a U.S. citizen can obtain.
