## About the Role

* Clearance: Must possess and maintain an active Secret Clearance\n
 * Bachelor's degree\n
 * Minimum 8 years of experience in solution architecture, training systems, modeling and simulation (M&S), or related technical roles\n
 * Minimum 5 years of experience in proposal writing for DoD or Federal government contracts\n
 * Proven track record of successful proposal wins (provide win rate if possible)\n
 * Experience with the full proposal lifecycle from RFP release through submission\n
 * Understanding of Federal acquisition processes (FAR/DFARS) and contract vehicles\n
 * Strong understanding of Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVC&G) training environments and how they are blended to deliver realistic, scalable training for individual, collective, and joint forces\n
 * Live: Understanding of live training, in which real people operate real systems in real or instrumented environments (e.g., instrumented ranges, tactical engagement simulation/MILES, and Combat Training Centers such as NTC, JRTC, and JMRC)\n
 * Virtual: Understanding of virtual training, in which real people operate simulated systems (e.g., flight simulators, vehicle and weapons crew trainers, CCTT, AVCATT, and ship and aircrew trainers)\n
 * Constructive: Understanding of constructive simulation, in which simulated people operate simulated systems to support staff, command post, and wargaming exercises (e.g., JLCCTC, OneSAF, JCATS, and WARSIM)\n
 * Gaming: Understanding of game-based training and commercial game engine applications (e.g., VBS, Unity, and Unreal) and how they are used for low-cost, high-repetition training\n
 * Knowledge of LVC interoperability standards and architectures (e.g., HLA, DIS, TENA) and the challenges of integrating live, virtual, constructive, and gaming systems into a common training environment\n
 * Familiarity with current service training modernization initiatives, such as the Army Synthetic Training Environment (STE), Navy LVC training, and Air Force Operational Training Infrastructure (OTI)\n
 * Knowledge of the DoD training and simulation acquisition community and customers (e.g., PEO STRI, NAWCTSD, AFLCMC Simulators, PM TRASYS, and Joint Staff J7)\n
 * Ability to translate customer training requirements (e.g., mission essential tasks, readiness objectives, training gaps) into LVC&G solutions that balance fidelity, cost, and throughput\n
 * Understanding of training exercise support, including exercise design, planning, execution, simulation center operations, and after action review (AAR)\n
 * Awareness of the LVC&G industry landscape, including key competitors, incumbents, and potential teaming partners\n
 * Experience designing solutions for various contract types (IDIQ, GWAC, single award)\n
 * Proficiency with architecture and diagramming tools\n
 * Knowledge of DoD training mission areas (individual, collective, and joint training; mission rehearsal; readiness; and test and evaluation)\n
 * Understanding of government evaluation criteria and source selection processes\n
 * Experience with multiple DoD customers (Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.)\n
 * Expert-level persuasive and technical writing skills\n
 * Proven ability to write compliant, compelling proposal content under tight deadlines\n
 * Experience managing color team reviews and incorporating feedback\n
 * Proficiency with proposal tools (MS Office Suite, Adobe InDesign, collaboration platforms)\n
 * Strong understanding of win strategies, themes, discriminators, and ghost/counter strategies\n
 * Participate in person business development engagements at the customer site and conferences and provide capture support as assigned\n
 * Ability to translate technical concepts for both technical and non-technical evaluators\n
 * Experience with compliance matrices and requirements management\n
 * Knowledge of proposal best practices (Shipley, APMP standards)\n
 * Excellent communication and presentation skills\n
 * Ability to work under pressure and meet aggressive proposal deadlines\n
 * Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams (capture, pricing, contracts, technical SMEs)\n

 * Self-motivated with ability to manage multiple pursuits simultaneously\n, * Hands-on experience supporting or delivering LVC&G programs (e.g., STE, Combat Training Centers, simulation center operations) for Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps customers\n
 * Prior military service with experience using training simulations or planning and executing training exercises\n
 * One or more of the following certifications preferred: Shipley Associates proposal training, Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional (CMSP)\n
