TS Threat Systems Engineer

Insight Global is looking for a Threat Systems Engineer to join one of our clients at Nellis AFB. This role will plat key role in enhancing the Next Generation Threat Systems (NGTS) software and supporting the Global Reusable Interface Domain (GRID) for integration within the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE). This role is essential to the success of advanced pilot training, mission rehearsal, and operational test and evaluation efforts.
What You Will Do
• Build, configure, and test high-fidelity NGTS parametric constructive modeling and simulation (M&S) models of platforms (e.g., fighter aircraft, bombers, AEW, naval ships, submarines, SAMs, ground vehicles) using NGTS graphical user interfaces (GUIs), configuration tools, and development guides/SOPs.
• Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and use intelligence databases to accurately model red and blue force systems.
• Translate complex intelligence data into realistic, behavior-driven models within NGTS to reflect real-world system performance and threat behavior.
• Conduct mission system modeling for various domains including radars, sensors (EO/IR, RWR, IRST), weapons (seekers, missile guidance), and countermeasures (jammers).
• Support verification and validation (V&V) efforts by developing test plans, executing simulations, and documenting test methodology, procedures, and results.
• Troubleshoot and analyze anomalies in simulation performance; identify root causes and work with software developers/engineers to resolve technical issues.
• Contribute to the design, documentation, and implementation of future simulation capabilities, system integrations, and enhancements.
• Work closely with configuration managers and simulator engineers to manage changes, document processes, and ensure system consistency.
Compensation: $65/hr to $72/hr. Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
