Position Description
As a member of the National Team, depending on the specific skills of the successful applicant, the candidate's duties may include the formulation and performance of C2BMC-related analyses with the potential application of a large scale system simulation or development of modeling requirements for the C2BMC test/analysis tool and verification of those requirements in the delivered product. Duties will also include participation in decisions regarding system/element representations and modeling parameters used in the large scale simulation. Position involves interacting with and supporting the other MDNTB IPTs, as well as documentation and presentation of requirement and analysis results. Applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to lead activities to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions. Leads others to evaluate customer/operational needs to define system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces. Leads analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture. Leads, develops, maintains and identifies improvements the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes. Works under consultative direction. ----------------------Technical Skills/Experience Required:---------------------- Thorough understanding of one or more technical specialty areas associated with missile defense system acquisition. Technical specialty areas may include, but are not limited to radar design and performance; endo/exo atmospheric interceptor design and performance; simulation of large, complex systems; requirements development for large scale system simulations; requirements or performance analysis using models and simulations; or large scale system simulation verification and validation. Desired: Knowledge of Ballistic Missile Defense concepts, Battle Management and Command and Control (BM/C2) systems, or defense communications systems. Specific knowledge of one or more BMD elements, such as GMD, Aegis BMD, PATRIOT, et al. is also a plus. Requires DoD SECRET clearance, TOP SECRET a plus.
Competencies
General/Leadership
[ + ] Collaboration
Mentors others in working effectively and cooperatively with team leaders, managers and internal employees; consistently and proactively establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving team leaders, managers and internal employees and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide assistance and/or thought leadership to other project team leaders when doing so would benefit the organization.
[ + ] Communication
Consistently and proactively clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Guiders others in keeping their audience thoroughly engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames highly complex and or advanced information in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Regularly seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Attends to both direct and indirect messages from others; correctly interprets messages and responds appropriately. Mentors and advises fellow project leads and other internal employees on effective communication techniques.
[ + ] Systems Thinking
Consistently and proactively evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet program/project objective(s); identifies non-value-adding components and barriers. Expertly formulates complex change strategies; frequently seeks input from others to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by assigning accountability appropriately, communicating effectively, focusing on new skill development, and integrating with related systems or processes. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
Technical
[ + ] Engineering Judgment
Exercises advanced, expert engineering judgment in developing appropriate decisions considering decision criteria, implications, and possible consequences, to ensure product design integrity. Demonstrates understanding of the applicable scientific and engineering knowledge and routinely includes industry-wide subject matter experts to obtain good information for the engineering decision-making process.
[ + ] Modeling and Simulation
Expert knowledge of programming languages (e.g., C++, Matlab, Visual Basic, C, Assembly, C#, Java). Expert knowledge of modeling and prototyping tools (e.g., Matlab , MathCAD, manufacturer specific tools for signal processing software). Expert knowledge of computing equipment and its operating systems (e.g., Windows, Unix, Linux). Expert knowledge of software development and testing tools (e.g., editors, compilers, linkers, desktop simulations, configuration management tools, requirements management tools) capability and usage.
[ + ] System Integration/Design
Advanced, expert ability to build computing systems from a variety of components to provide a business solution, including the ability to integrate application components and databases across computing platforms.
[ + ] Systems Trade Studies
Advanced/expert of trade study process (e.g., benchmarking, best value).
Education and/or Experience
Degree and typical experience in engineering classification: Bachelor's 14 or more years' experience, Master's with 12 or more years' experience or PhD with 9 or more years' experience. Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
