Threat Products and Services is responsible for the development and delivery of high fidelity threat modeling products in support of MDA and MDA’s Missile Defense System. The Mission Support Threat Engineering Lead role serves as the leader of a team responsible for MDA test event contributions, missile threat modeling, and threat model verification and validation of threat representations across the kinematic, RF, and IR signature domains.

This position requires a detail-oriented engineer with demonstrated leadership characteristics who can effectively lead a team that is responsible for capturing and documenting requirements as they pertain all modeling disciplines pertaining to missiles as well as evaluating missile threat models for use in a variety of modeling and simulation tools/frameworks/media. Must have a good understanding of modeling and simulation methods and processes. Must be familiar with missile concepts and physics behind missile motion, and how it affects signature representations. In order to support our mission, the Mission Support Threat Engineer Lead will be directly involved with discussions and collaborations with our customers, threat stakeholders, and intelligence analysts in order to best capture the requirements for developing and delivering accurate and relevant threat models. The selected individual must be able to work with little or no direct supervision, lead a product delivery team, and facilitate meeting time critical delivery schedules, and be expected to:

• Lead a large team of inter-disciplinary engineers and subject matter expects on the Specialized Warfighter Development Contract (SWDC) in the area of threat missile system requirements derivation, modeling and simulation, and verification and validation across the CAD, kinematic, radio frequency, infrared hard body, and infrared plume disciplines

• Communicate directly with the government customer on the contract and well as 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 automation solutions and techniques for producing required MDA test event deliverables and threat models
