**Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!** Axient is seeking an **Model-based Mission Engineer (MBME)** to join our Model-Based Mission Engineering team at the Headquarters of the United States Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy, Integration and Requirements in Washington DC. The Headquarters of the United States Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy, Integration and Requirements is responsible for analytic decision support to senior Air Force leaders; strategy development; operational concept development; operational challenge studies; operational/regional politico-military analysis; developing capability assessments; war and mobility planning support; requirements development; conducting net assessments; and Air Force Planning and Programming decision support of developing the Air Force of the future. Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) are required to support analysis across all phases of Air Force design to support the strategic planning and programming process: strategy development, force design, concept formulation; threat assessment, exercises, modeling and simulation and continuous feedback loops. **What you will do...** **Description** The primary objective of the Model-based Mission Engineering (MBME) initiative is to review each component of the interface and get feedback through engagement with the users. The MBME initiative is a proposed approach to the massive, comprehensive digital engineering transformation, as envisioned by the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy. MBME utilizes digital Mission Thread (MT) and Mission Engineering Thread (MET) models to provide a mission context to concept exploration, capability development, and throughout the systems engineering and acquisitions life cycles. MT models capture the sequence of operational objectives and tasks to achieve a desired mission effect. METs include the technical details of the capabilities and systems assigned to execute the mission. MBME allows for virtual integration of innovative concepts and will streamline analysis to support planning and programming decisions. A digital ecosystem, with appropriate tools, collaborative environments, data management standards, and security, is a crucial enabler. + Engage with AF Futures organizational activities to prioritize focus areas of MBME efforts. + Determine data needed to support prioritized MBME focus areas, conduct modeling sessions to build SME-informed future MT models, consistent with guidance from Joint Warfighting Concepts, National Defense Strategy, National Military Strategy, Joint Force Operating Scenarios, etc., and incrementally build the Mission Architecture through development of MT and MET models using commercial-off-the-shelf visual modeling tools, such as Magic Draw/Cameo. + Know mission architecture that includes a depiction of concepts, approaches, and systems of systems that enables details of the process flow, timing, interactions, data, capabilities, and performance to be examined in relation to the other processes, entities, and systems that contribute to achieving mission objectives to enable organized information sharing across the department. + Maintain awareness of concurrent activities by working in a common modeling database across the organization. + Define and incorporate mission success parameters against which candidate solutions can be measured (i.e., Measures of Success/Effectiveness/Performance). + Develop MET models to define where innovative solutions (materiel and/or non[1]materiel) may be integrated into operations to ensure mission success. + Model vignettes to provide context for analytical studies – include blue capability and red threat models within the operational environment. + Use analytical models to perform comparative analysis of current and emerging operational and system capabilities and combinations thereof. + Export unambiguous future mission engineering models to guide in-depth analysis, research, and acquisition – machine-readable to external stakeholders, as required by the Government. Incorporating updates into the Mission Architecture + Establish common data model across all MT/MET models. + Research and advocat for access to appropriate tools and collaborative environments to enable the digital model-centric transformation in the client organization, as directed in by the OSD Digital Engineering Strategy. + Research digital engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) best practices and maintain repository of resources to guide client organization during the digital transformation. **Skills you will need...** **Required Experience** Two (2) years ofanalysis experience.
