This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS). Mission Technologies’ Global Security (GS) group comprises live, virtual, constructive (LVC) solutions; fleet sustainment; nuclear and environmental; and Australia business. As a trusted partner to our military customers, HII designs, develops and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle. With advanced technologies to enable mission readiness, HII understands that preparation requires full coordination—not readiness in piece-parts.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Navy has entrusted HII to maintain and modernize the vast majority of its fleet. With a holistic approach to life‑cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness. HII supports the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country.

HII meets clients’ toughest nuclear and environmental challenges.

HII’s Mission Technologies Division is seeking a mission-focused Military Operations Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Threat Systems Modeler to support the development of high‑fidelity modeling and simulation environment at the Joint Integrated Test and Training Center – Nellis (JITTC‑N), located at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. You will play a key role in enhancing the Next Generation Threat Systems (NGTS) software and supporting the Global Reusable Interface Domain (GRID) for integration within the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE).

This role is essential to the success of advanced pilot training, mission rehearsal, and operational test and evaluation efforts.

• Build, configure, and test high‑fidelity NGTS parametric constructive modeling and simulation (M&S) models of platforms (e.g., fighter aircraft, bombers, AEW, naval ships, submarines, SAMs, ground vehicles) using NGTS graphical user interfaces (GUIs), configuration tools, and development guides/SOPs.
• Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and use intelligence databases to accurately model red and blue force systems.
• Translate complex intelligence data into realistic, behavior‑driven models within NGTS to reflect real‑world system performance and threat behavior.
• Conduct threat system modeling for various domains including radars, sensors (EO/IR, RWR, IRST), weapons (seekers, missile guidance), and countermeasures (jammers).
• Support verification and validation (V&V) efforts by developing test plans, executing simulations, and documenting test methodology, procedures, and results.
• Troubleshoot and analyze anomalies in simulation performance; identify root causes and work with software developers to resolve technical issues.
• Contribute to the design, documentation, and implementation of future simulation capabilities, system integrations, and enhancements.
• Work closely with configuration managers and simulator engineers to manage changes, document processes, and ensure system consistency.

• 5 years relevant experience with a Bachelors in a related field; or 3 years relevant experience with a Masters in a related field; or 0 years experience with a PhD or Juris Doctorate; or a High School Diploma with 9 years relevant experience.
• Must be mission focused and detail‑oriented with a strong willingness to learn intricate NGTS modeling and simulation software and to take on increasing roles and responsibilities as part of a high‑performance team.
• An active TS/SCI security clearance within the last 24 months (required).
• Recent (within the last 7 years) experience working in the US Air Force, US Navy, US Army Intelligence community or combat crew member/pilot with focus on both Blue and Red air, surface, land and sea‑based platforms, sensors and weapon systems with experience operating…
