## Description

* Support modeling and simulation environments that replicate advanced threat systems.
 * Integrate sensor, command-and-control, and weapons-system representations into training events.
 * Enable distributed exercises connecting ships, aircraft, tactical operations centers, and simulators across multiple locations.
 * Ensure realistic data feeds, threat representations, and training scenarios accurately reflect current operational environments.
 * Lead the design, integration, and sustainment of complex LVC training systems and supporting infrastructure.
 * Develop system architectures, interface requirements, and technical roadmaps to support evolving training capabilities.
 * Analyze operational requirements and translate them into system-level technical solutions.
 * Oversee integration of live platforms, virtual simulators, and constructive simulation environments.
 * Manage system requirements throughout the lifecycle, ensuring traceability from mission needs to implementation.
 * Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including system specifications, interface control documents, and design artifacts.
 * Conduct technical reviews, design reviews, and engineering assessments.
 * Support configuration management and change control processes.
 * Ensure infrastructure can support large-scale, geographically dispersed exercises involving multiple participants and simulations.
 * Coordinate with fleet representatives to ensure training capabilities align with operational needs.
 * This position may require up to 25% annual travel.
