Job description
- Develop, document, and maintain a robust library of high-fidelity operational scenarios, focusing on high-risk mission profiles (e.g., Anti-Access/Area Denial - A2/AD, Deep Strike, Contested Logistics) across all domains.
- Integrate and calibrate environmental models (e.g., electronic warfare propagation, terrain effects, Degraded Visual Environment - DVE) to accurately reflect the Area of Responsibility (AOR).
Force Structuring and Mission Planning (ORBAT & OPO):
- Define, model, and implement the full Friendly and Opposing Force (OPFOR) ORBAT, detailing unit composition, readiness levels, weapon systems (lethal/non-lethal), and Command and Control (C2) networks, consistent with current Intelligence Assessments.
- Define or Translate the Mission Operational Order (OPO)-including the Scheme of Maneuver, phase lines, Rules of Engagement (ROE), and Commander's critical information requirements-into executable simulation protocols and event triggers (Master Scenario Event List - MSEL).
Test & Evaluation (T&E) and After Action Review (AAR):
- Lead the execution of T&E campaigns, utilizing the scenarios to stress-test platform performance and crew decision-making under high-intensity combat stress.
- Conduct exhaustive After Action Reviews (AARs), analyzing system data, network throughput, and human factors outputs to quantify Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) and Key Performance Parameters (KPPs).
- Provide clear, actionable intelligence and recommendations to system architects aimed at reducing the OODA Loop time (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) and improving overall mission success probability.
System Fidelity Assurance: Ensure the accurate modeling of distributed avionics architectures (e.g., MOSA/SOSA/FACE frameworks, embedded processing, RTOS, data distribution services) to maintain the integrity of system-level performance data collected during simulation runs.
Trainings & Mentoring:
- Contribute to the creation of the Military Helicopters Operations (MHO) learning curriculum
- Develop and deliver specialized training modules defined in the MHO learning curriculum
- Mentor new engineers of the department
- Act as the SME (Subject Matter Expert) resource for the team on current military doctrine and threat environment representation fidelity.
Requirements
Operational Planning Expertise:
- Mandatory: Deep functional knowledge of Military Decision Making Process (MDMP), Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP), or equivalent NATO/Coalition planning standards.
- Proven background in developing and managing ORBATs and OPORDs/OPOs for complex forces.
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Proficiency: Expert capability in Modeling & Simulation, scenario architecture, and validation of simulated environments against real-world intelligence/doctrine.
System Architecture & Networks: Strong understanding of modular, open systems architecture (MOSA), embedded network protocols (AFDX, High-Speed Ethernet), and their performance impact in a simulated contested environment.
Data Analysis: Demonstrated ability to perform robust quantitative and qualitative analysis of massive datasets to extract tactical insights and inform procurement/design decisions.
Force Multiplier: Proven ability to effectively liaise between Warfighters, Intelligence Analysts, and Engineering Teams.
Team Spirit, good communication skills and experience in stakeholder management
Language skills: English business fluent / negotiation level, knowledge of German, French or Spanish would be an advantage, This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.

- Wellbeing / Health: Complementary health insurance coverage (disability, invalidity, death). Depending on the site: health services center, concierge services, gym, carpooling application.
- Individual development: Great upskilling opportunities and development prospects with unlimited access to +10.000 e-learning courses to develop your employability, certifications, expert career path, accelerated development programmes, national and international mobility.
Mission You will join a team of 65+ system engineers in the "Situational Awareness and Mission Management" department in charge of terrain/weather/traffic awareness functions, vision enhancement and targeting systems, data-links as well as mission management systems for all Airbus (e-)VTOL products.
Your mission is to use mathematical modeling, simulation, and data analytics to evaluate the effectiveness of next-generation (e-)VTOL platforms and their onboard systems in contested environments. Your comprehensive understanding of military operations, electronic warfare, or multi-domain command and control ensures tactical realism and combat relevance in the evaluation process. You will lead the effort to de-risk operational concepts by subjecting platform and system capabilities to rigorous analysis against complex, asymmetrical, and peer/near-peer Threat Orders of Battle (ORBAT).
You are in charge of translating Customers' Intent and high-level Concepts of Operations into actionable inputs for the development process.
- This position will require a security clearance or will require being eligible for clearance by the recognised authorities.
- Priority will be given to employees whose position is impacted by a workforce adaptation initiative.
- Disabled applicants with equal qualifications will be given special consideration.
