• Provides professional engineering support with increasing independent accomplishment.
• Assignments are screened for unusual or difficult problems.
• Receives close supervision on new aspects of assignments.
• Performs specific and limited engineering tasks of a broader assignment, under the direction of an experienced engineer.
• Prepares computations, specifications, and reports of limited scope and complexity.
• Applies standard practices and techniques in specific situations.
• May be assisted by a few support personnel.

Required Skills and Education: Multiple positions available from mid to senior level, to include working lead.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering specialization or related field and 10 years of applicable experience primarily in RAM modeling, test design techniques, design for reliability techniques, predictions, reliability growth management, requirements generation, software, and specification inputs.
• Demonstrable knowledge of DoD RAM Regulations.
• 5 years of experience within the last ten years in any combination of the following areas:
  • Developmental test (DT), operational test (OT), and evaluation methods for Army and Joint Service missile defense systems and programs to include but not limited to: radar technology, missile booster dynamics, kill vehicle functions, hypersonic vehicle dynamics, directed energy defense systems, command and control of missile defense systems, missile defense system interoperability, spaced based sensor platforms, missile defense system analysis, or missile defense system operational assessment. Experience is defined as activities to include T&E planning, test execution, data collection during test, evaluation of test or modeling data, and development of evaluation analysis plans and reports.
  • Integrating Army and Joint Service system acquisition documentation in the development of DOD system acquisition products for T&E of BMDS systems and sub-systems. (Examples include BMDS Operational Assessment (OA) Report, BMDS Operational Assessment Plan (OAP), Data Management and Analysis Plan (DMAP), Evaluation Database (EDB), Evaluation Scenario Presentations, Evaluation Dendritic, Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), Baseline Correlation Matrix (BCM), Data Source Matrix (DSM), BMDS OTA Scenario Quad Charts, BMDS OTA Traceability Matrix, OT&E chapter of the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) Assessment Reports, Safety Releases, and Safety Confirmations).
  • Integrating Army and Joint Service system acquisition documentation in the development of DOD system acquisition products for T&E of BMDS systems and sub-systems. (Examples include BMDS Operational Assessment (OA) Report, BMDS Operational Assessment Plan (OAP), Data Management and Analysis Plan (DMAP), Evaluation Database (EDB), Evaluation Scenario Presentations, Evaluation Dendritic, Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), Baseline Correlation Matrix (BCM), Data Source Matrix (DSM), BMDS OTA Scenario Quad Charts, BMDS OTA Traceability Matrix, OT&E chapter of the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) Assessment Reports, Safety Releases, and Safety Confirmations).
  • Application of modeling and simulation as applied to the BMDS. Conduct accreditation assessment for all models and simulations (M&S) used in Missile Defense Agency (MDA) tests by ensuring that the verification and validation (V&V) activities provide evidence to demonstrate that the M&S are representing the real-worldsystem and are suitable for operational performance assessments. Accreditation assessment activities include are not limited to BMDS Federation of models, framework verification, threat implementation accreditation, core truth models, communications models, sensor models and weapon system models. Provide accreditation report of events and a comprehensive report of accreditation for each major incremental delivery of the BMDS.
  • Conducting cybersecurity operational testing and monitoring developmental cyber testing. Report directly to DOT&E regarding testing outlined in DOT&E memo. Inform warfighter and services of cyber vulnerabilities, the degree to which those vulnerabilities could be exploited by an element, mission networks, and network defense capabilities to protect, detect, react, and restore against a cyber-attack using representative threat models and vectors. Produce cybersecurity assessment reports linked to each test event.
  • Oral and written communication such as briefings, authoring technical papers, etc., for BMDS.

Security Clearance:

• TOP SECRET security clearance with SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (SCI) eligibility is required.
