Space Exercise Modeling and Simulation Planner

About the role

As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don't. You understand the nuances of complex military exercises and know how to integrate technical capabilities that enhance operational realism and training effectiveness. We're looking for an expert like you to develop innovative modeling and simulation solutions that strengthen Joint Force readiness and support missions that keep our nation safe.

Responsibilities

• Develop innovative modeling and simulation solutions that support USSPACECOM training, experimentation, and Tier 1 Joint exercises.
• Plan, coordinate, integrate, and synchronize modeling and simulation capabilities that enable realistic representations of military space operations across SDA, OW, MWMD, C2, and JADO.
• Work alongside exercise planners, operational subject matter experts, mission partners, software developers, and government stakeholders to identify exercise objectives, determine modeling and simulation requirements, and integrate simulation capabilities into complex Joint training environments.
• Serve as a trusted advisor throughout the Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC) by translating training objectives into executable modeling and simulation plans that support exercise design, planning conferences, execution, and after-action analysis.
• Lead the planning, synchronization, and integration of modeling and simulation capabilities that improve exercise realism, enable TTP refinement, validate operational concepts, and strengthen Joint Force integration across Combatant Commands, Service Components, Allies, and Partners.

Requirements

• Experience supporting Department of Defense, Combatant Command, Service Component, or Joint exercise planning activities.
• Experience utilizing the Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC) to plan, coordinate, and execute Joint military exercises and training events.
• Experience planning, coordinating, or integrating modeling and simulation capabilities into military training events or exercises.
• Knowledge of military space operations, Combatant Command missions, and Joint exercise planning.
• Ability to translate exercise objectives into modeling and simulation requirements and develop integrated technical solutions.
• Ability to coordinate with government stakeholders, exercise planners, software developers, mission partners, and technical teams to integrate modeling and simulation capabilities into Joint exercises.
• Ability to travel up to 25% to support exercise planning conferences, capability integration events, technical working groups, and exercise execution.

Qualifications

• TS/SCI clearance.
• High school diploma or GED.

Skills

• Experience supporting United States Space Command, United States Space Force, United States Strategic Command, National Space Defense Center, Combined Space Operations Center, or other National Security Space organizations.
• Experience supporting Tier 1 or Joint exercises, including IPC, MPC, FPC, MSEL development, exercise execution, and after-action activities.
• Experience integrating live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) modeling and simulation capabilities into military exercises.
• Experience developing exercise scenarios supporting SDA, OW, MWMD, C2, EMSO, or JADO.
• Knowledge of AFSIM, Swarm, Kronos, Python, MATLAB, C#, SQL, REST APIs, data federation architectures, or distributed modeling and simulation environments.
• Knowledge of orbital mechanics, spacecraft operations, space mission analysis, and simulation interoperability.
• Ability to facilitate technical working groups, capability development working groups, planning conferences, and customer engagements.
• Ability to develop technical documentation, exercise support plans, executive-level briefings, and concepts of operation (CONOPS).
