Project/Unit Description

The Command, Control, and Communications Division (C3D) Advanced Battle Management (ABM) Branch of the Sensors and Electromagnetics Laboratory (SEAL) in Smyrna, GA is looking for research faculty to staff advanced research and development programs in Command and Control Concepts and Operations. The position is focused on managing technical research and innovation programs including direct customer interaction and business development for enabling Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), building bridging strategies for current fielded Command and Control weapons systems to deliver advanced sensor and communications battle management systems for the United States Air Force and other joint partners.

Job Purpose

The Operations Research Systems Analyst (ORSA) applies advanced analytical and systems engineering methods to help make better decisions. Researches, develops, and integrates new and existing system simulation frameworks, prediction models, logical models, and analyses. Models operational environments, performs trade studies via computer simulation and provides decision support for alternative architectures. Designs and/or develops decision support tools that integrate modeling and simulation into intuitive and interactive graphical user interfaces. Performs trade studies via computer simulation and provides decision support for alternative architectures. Elicits information from Subject Matter Experts and stakeholders, and iterates with them to develop qualitative models of their expertise and/or needs. Utilizes applied statistical analysis, machine learning, optimization, and visualization to support defensible decisions and decision processes. Conceptualizes, designs, and/or develops software solutions to implement system simulations, models and analyses. Develops, integrates, and tests software or conceptual ideas to implement decision making methods and processes. Develops methods, processes and/or software tools to help design, integrate and manage complex systems and system engineering processes.

Key Responsibilities

Manage all technical aspects of supporting defensible decision making, including directing multiple lab resources for large scale product or system deployments.

Manage sub-contractor resources supporting all system engineering areas.

Develop and implement approaches to address the customers' needs within schedule and budget.

Develop technical reports detailing models used and processes followed for developing or arriving to a decision support solution.

Review and verify work-products are consistent, accurate (if feasible given the limitations of the project and data available), and that they address the needs of the customer.

Teach and train Entry, Growing, and Career level researchers, and mentor Specialist level researchers.

Additional Responsibilities

Manage research efforts in C3D. This duty includes but is not limited to, managing budgets, schedules, research personnel, and program deliverables.
