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
Do you have experience in System architecture?, Do you have a Master's degree?, 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.
