* The Opportunity:

CACI is seeking a SME Scientists and Science Technicians Group 2 in support of a program whose initiative is aimed at combating evolving and emerging threats, supporting related exploitation and replication activities, and advancing operational rehearsal, exercise, wargaming, and counter system development. Additionally, we are focusing on integration and experimentation, including Modeling and Simulation.

By joining this team, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the U.S. and our allies’ ability to develop and apply models and simulations throughout the lifecycle of military and commercial technologies and systems. Your work will help ensure Warfighter readiness and the realization of future capabilities.

Responsibilities:

As an SME Physicist, you will conduct research into physical phenomena, develop theories based on observation and experiments, and devise methods to apply physical laws and theories to support modeling, simulation, and systems engineering activities. You will provide strategic technical leadership and serve as a principal advisor on complex physics-related challenges within DOD technical programs.

Conduct research into physical phenomena and develop theories on the basis of observation and experiments

Devise methods to apply physical laws and theories to support M&S and systems engineering requirements

Provide subject matter expertise during all phases of the life cycle for assigned weapon systems, programs, and projects

Support the development and implementation of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and products

Perform systems engineering modeling to support concept of operations, behavioral analysis, system architecture, and simulation activities

Conduct fidelity analysis to determine the appropriate model for the most accurate representation within system-of-systems architecture

Support Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) simulation environments for large-scale Joint and Coalition exercises

Provide technical expertise for digital transformation efforts and advanced data analytics including AI/ML applications

Perform data engineering on simulation data including data cleaning, preparation, management, and integration

Support verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) of solutions developed or leveraged by DEVCOM and DOD customers

Participate in technical reviews, exercise support, field tests, and training material reviews

Provide strategic architecture of organizational systems and high-level policy interpretation for major technology tasks

Support exercise planning and execution for Combatant Command level exercises

Qualifications:

Required:

Bachelor's degree in in Physics or a closely related field is often required for research-intensive roles.
10+ years of experience or 15+ years relevant of experience in lieu of degree.
