Work closely with C2BMC-G and X-Lab agile teams to understand concepts, algorithms, and logging to prototype Modeling and Simulation Tools and generate scenario datasets. Use math, physics, statistics, data parsing, plotting, and database techniques to create Algorithm Description Documents (ADDs) and reference implementations of algorithms, then commit them to Git repositories for version control Create unit tests, ideally as Cucumber scenarios, to support the transition and development of MATLAB reference implementations in Java Use DevSecOps principles to set up and maintain nightly pipelines for automated analysis, testing, and continuous integration testing of algorithm reference implementations Provide demonstrations of their ADDs and reference implementations during Agile sprints with their respective Integrated Product Team (IPT) to the C2BMC-G Project Owners (POs) and C2BMC-G Release Train Engineer (RTE) Provide technical support to the C2BMC-G IPTs to develop M&S tools that assist in verifying and validating the tactical implementation of algorithms Develop technical briefs and deliver briefings to both internal and external stakeholders at Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) Thorough understanding and broad application of technical principles, theories, and concepts in the field Having a general understanding of related disciplines Provide technical solutions to a wide range of complex, difficult problems that are innovative, comprehensive, practical, and aligned with organizational goals Work independently under general guidance and develop solutions; work will be reviewed after completion to ensure it meets objectives Contribute to the completion of specific programs and projects. Failure to achieve results or making incorrect decisions or recommendations could lead to significant delays and substantial resource expenditure Frequently collaborate internally with Integrated Product Teams (IPT) consisting of other systems engineers, software developers, and analysts Regularly interact with Federally Funded Research and Development Contracts (FFRDCs) and government clients Represent the organization by providing solutions to complex technical challenges related to specific projects Collaborating with the RTE and POs to develop and maintain the M&S IPT Backlog in JIRA Contribute to the completion of stories for M&S IPT Mentor junior engineers on the M&S IPT Developing and working with mathematical models Algorithm engineering to address computer algorithm challenges, including design, analysis, implementation, optimization, profiling, and experimental evaluation Please list your current security clearance and IAT or relevant certifications on your resume, if applicable. Bachelor's Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline preferred from an accredited university and 8 years of related experience, or a Master's Degree and 6 years of related experience, or 4 years of experience with a PhD; or 12 years of relevant work experience may be considered in lieu of a degree. Applicants must have a current, active in-scope DoD issued Secret security clearance at the time of application, which is required to start with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret - TS/SCI/SAP security clearance Ability and willingness to travel up-to 10% to support business needs.
