Support validation of architectures, mission threads, and modeling assumptions through continuous engagement with stakeholders and subject‑matter authorities.
Provide operational insight to improve the fidelity of mission engineering products, including mission characterization, MET/MT development, and M&S design.
Maintain documentation of stakeholder engagements, data lineage, analytic assumptions, and coordination workflows to support repeatable, transparent ME practices.

Experience Requirements

15 years of experience in military operations, operational planning, intelligence support, mission engineering, or operational analysis within DoD organizations.
7 years of direct experience working with Joint Staff, CCMDs, Service component staff, or IC organizations in mission planning, capability development, or operational analysis roles.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Operations Research, Engineering, National Security Studies, Intelligence Studies, or related technical discipline; OR
Certificate from advanced Professional Military Education (PME) relevant to Military Training and/or Military Planning.
