You will serve as either a GENERAL ENGINEER or a COMPUTER SCIENTIST in the DIGITAL ANALYTICS INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT (DAiTA) GROUP, INTEGRATED BATTLESPACE SIMULATION AND TEST (IBST) DEPARTMENT, SIMULATION DIVISION of NAVAIRWARCENAC DIV.
Your resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-13 grade level or DP-04 pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: 1) Applying knowledge of Modeling and Simulation in the areas of modeled environment generation, and simulation of installed avionics systems under test; 2) Examining real-time battlespace environment modeling, threat simulation, instrumentation, real-time simulation processes, computation, and networking; 3) Demonstrating project management, resource allocation, budgeting, technical oversight and technical direction of test programs and development efforts; 4) Implementing distributed simulation, installed systems testing, aircraft systems, training systems, simulation cueing technology, and aircraft avionics systems; and 5) Determining test requirements and the verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) of test configurations in an Installed Systems Test Facility (ISTF). Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/#url=List-by-Occupational-Series AND https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/files/all-professional-engineering-positions-0800.pdf Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
You will serve as a subject matter expert in modeling and simulation of modern combat environments and their presentation to installed systems test, while providing guidance for the project and program operations of the Simulation Division (SD).
You will determine the technical direction of the Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF) and maintain technical cognizance of the Simulation Division and IBST simulation infrastructure.
You will provide detailed program plans that include engineering studies, design and development plans, and support milestones for new and existing simulation systems.
You will perform technical analysis and evaluations, and formulate recommendations for systems acquisitions and upgrades for the SD of the IBST Department.
You will develop budgetary cost estimates for new system developments, write technical point papers and justifications for funding, prepare procurement packages, review contract proposals, and coordinate installations with other departments.
