## Description

The Serco Data Engineer will assist Government program managers with obtaining data and models from the authoritative sources and coordinating activities with authoritative source providers to ensure required resources are available to satisfy worldwide AF Simulation Center requirements with considerations for cost, schedule, and performance. Additionally, the Data Manager will regularly revisit all threat model requirements to ensure that threat characterizations remain representative of current intelligence assessments. The ideal candidate brings a balance of technical understanding and operational

awareness, with experience supporting models for simulation environments, data standards, military parametric data repositories, and stakeholder coordination.

This position is contingent upon the ability to obtain/maintain/transfer an active U.S. Department of War (DoW) Secret security clearance.

In this role, you will:

 * Create and maintain a training data repository that is visible, accessible, interoperable, trusted, secure, and reusable across the training community with particular focus on the AF Training Simulations Centers in the US, Germany and Korea.
 * Identify sources of unclassified parametric data for Air assets, preferably FDO (Foreign Discloser Officer) approved, to populate and maintain the repository, tracking data linage
 * Coordinate with Government, contractor, and stakeholder representatives to identify required data for tactical training, integrate data into participating system environments, and support joint/coalition interoperability initiatives
 * Provide technical expertise for data integration, analytics, governance, and data modernization efforts that enhance operational training and readiness capabilities
 * Support the development, governance, testing, and provision of parametric datasets and data services in alignment with the DoD Data Strategy, DAF Data Fabric initiatives, DAF I-Plan, and AFAMS Data Concept Plan.
 * Ensure data solutions leverage approved enterprise big data platform, Envision, and comply with Authoritative Source of Truth (ASoT) requirements.
