Essential Functions: Performe strategic planning to include coordination with Intelligence Production Centers (IPCs), Missile Defense System (MDS) elements/representatives, test event framework developers, MDA developmental Threat Systems Engineering, and Event Scenario designers to determine specific threat representations needed to meet test event objectives/requirements. The MSTE (Mission Support Threat Engineering) team supports the GT Concept of Operations (CONOPs) meetings and Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs). The MSTE team develops requirements for threat simulation models/software, as well as Verification and Validation (V&V) documents for threat models developed on contract. Threat missile model disciplines consist of the kinematic, Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) signature domains. Lead a team of inter-disciplinary engineers and subject matter experts in the derivation of threat missile system requirements, M&S, and Verification and Validation activities across the missile modeling disciplines. Communicate directly with government customer POCs and MDA test event stakeholders, scenario designers, integration leads, and accreditation groups. Work directly with intelligence centers to coordinate and obtain relevant threat missile system assessments and data, identify data gaps, and orchestrate modeling of desired threat missile systems. Identify innovative solutions and techniques to accelerate the production of MDA test event deliverables and threat models. Review and approve deliverables produced by the Mission Support Threat Engineering team. Track and report budget/schedule status, deliverable status, performance, and metrics. The selected candidate should thrive in a fast-paced work environment with high expectations, significantly diverse assignments, and collaborative/team settings across all lev
