Modeling and Simulation Specialist

Description

Are you ready to make an impact?

Our corporate vision at Leidos is to be the global leader in the development and application of technology to solve our customers' most vexing challenges.

Leidos Digital Modernization is seeking a results-oriented Modeling & Simulation Specialist to support the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Enterprise Center's (NEC) Team at Fort Meade, MD.

This isn't just any job. The NEC serves as the hub for NC3 Enterprise operations, systems engineering and enterprise architecture, and as the technical authority for NC3 within the Department of Defense. Our customer, directed by the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), applies subject matter expertise and best practices to translate mission and operational requirements into solutions and operational capabilities.

Your best work is ahead!
Come use your demonstrated ability to develop and utilize modeling and simulation tools at the enterprise level for end-to-end architecture analysis. In this role, it is considered essential that you fully demonstrate the ability to begin with top level requirements and collaborate with our customer and stakeholders to achieve success in defining, designing, implementing, and testing the current architecture and projected architectures as needed. Your duties may include keeping up-to-date on state-of-the-art simulation tools/techniques and the ability to develop simulations using these tools and techniques.

This is your chance to be a part of something truly significant. We would love to hear from you!

What will you do in this role?

• Support the NEC's digital systems engineering efforts in the areas of architecture, analysis, design, modeling, simulation and systems integration.

• Employ system modeling language to graphically display system functions and requirements in system models. Support engineering documentation, requirements analysis, requirements generation, and system design.

• Work closely with customer to describe systems functional requirements, required behaviors, and interfaces.

• Support Enterprise Architecture (EA) design and modeling elements with MBSE tools such as Cameo, SparxEA, and MagicDraw.

• Assess the NLCC/NC3 architecture using computer simulations and models to evaluate how well communications work in a benign and stressed nuclear environment; generate reports and briefings using the results.

• Use ModSim tools and techniques to assess networked architectures and design of solutions operating at multiple levels of security classifications (unclassified, Secret, Top Secret, etc).

This is what you need to qualify for consideration:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or an educational equivalent with 5-8 years of prior relevant experience, or Master's degree with 3-6 years of prior relevant experience and

Minimum of 5 years' experience to include:

• Providing dedicated support to modeling and simulation functions or operations such as, but not limited to exercises, plans, coordination, demonstrations, and instruction.

• Supporting live, constructive, or virtual training

Additionally, you should have:

• An aptitude to simulate architecture and functions using the most effective techniques.

• Working knowledge of computer systems and integrated software application programs.

• Excellent communications and analytical skills.

These are preferred qualifications, desired by the customer:

• Prior background working with senior Nuclear C3 community stakeholders such as NEC, USSTRATCOM, the Joint Staff, and OSD.

• Ability to develop solutions to technical problems and issues that are unclear and require deep technical knowledge.

• Understanding of, and experience with, operations and technical characteristics of Nuclear C3 systems to include strategic communications systems, sensor and radar systems, and communications systems deployed at nuclear command centers and on nuclear capable platforms.

• Knowledge of activity, data, and process modeling techniques and practices, to include DTRA development modeling tools.

While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
