Responsibilities

The primary role of the Modeling and Simulation Product Team Lead will be developing emulators, integrating 3rd party simulators, developing scenarios, and anchoring models and system behaviors for the organization

As a secondary role, the Product Team Lead will also be expected to occasionally contribute technical expertise in support of the co-located Experimentation Lab (X-Lab) organization on the program

The Product Team Lead will support a broad range of topics, with increasing scope and complexity as assigned

Topics in the past have included development of sensor emulation, interface exchange behaviors, scenario development, coordinate transforms of state vectors and covariances between various coordinate systems transformations, implementation of Kalman filtering, radar signal processing, various metaheuristics for performance optimization problems, and use case development and testing

The Product Team Lead will be responsible for the following: Work closely with agile teams to understand concepts, algorithms, and logging in order to prototype Modeling and Simulation Tools and generate scenario datasets

Utilize math, physics, statistics, data parsing, plotting, and database techniques to develop Algorithm Description Documents (ADDs) and algorithm reference implementations and commit them to Git repositories for version control

Develop unit tests, preferably as Cucumber scenarios, in order to support the transition and development of MATLAB reference implementations in Java

Use DevSecOps principles to setup and maintain nightly pipelines to support automated analysis / test and continuous integration testing of algorithm reference implementations

Provide demonstrations of their ADDs and reference implementations as part of Agile sprints with their respective Integrated Product Team (IPT) to the Project Owners (POs) and Release Train Engineer (RTE)

Provide technical support to the IPTs in order to develop M&S tools that help verify and validate the tactical implementation of algorithms

Develop technical briefs and present briefings to both internal and external stakeholders at Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs)

Complete understanding and wide application of technical principle, theories, and concepts in the field

Having a general knowledge of other related disciplines

Provide technical solutions to a wide range of complex difficult problems (solutions are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent with organizational objectives- Work under only general direction and independently determine and develop approaches to solutions; work will be reviewed upon completion for adequacy in meeting objectives

Contribute to the completion of specific programs and projects (failure to obtain results or erroneous decisions or recommendations would typically result in serious program delays and considerable expenditure of resources)

Frequently interface internally with Integrated Product Teams (IPT) of other systems engineers, software developers, and analysts

Frequently interface externally with Federally Funded Research and Development Contracts (FFRDCs) and government customer contacts

Represent the organization in providing solutions to difficult technical issues associated with specific projects

Interfacing with the RTE and POs in order to develop and maintain the M&S IPT Backlog within JIRA

Contribute to the M&S IPT completion of stories

Mentor junior engineers on the M&S IPT
