We are seeking a Modeling and Simulation Product Team Lead who will be developing emulators, integrating 3rd party simulators, developing scenarios, and anchoring models and system behaviors for the program which supports the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Space Force. As a secondary role, the M&S 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 M&S 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 meta heuristics for performance optimization problems, and use case development and testing.

The M&S 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 Dev Sec Ops  principles to set up 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…
