Overview
GovCIO is currently hiring for Advanced LVC Integration SME to develop and integrate high-fidelity platform, sensor, and weapon system models within Live, Virtual, and Constructive training environments. This role transforms digital engineering data into realistic physics-based simulations that support military training, mission rehearsal, and advanced system testing. This position will be located in Colorado Springs, CO and will be a onsite position.
Responsibilities
Serves as a technical authority responsible for integrating advanced weapon systems, sensors, and platform models into Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training and simulation environments. This role translates digital engineering artifacts into high-fidelity simulation representations, ensuring realistic physics-based behaviors, sensor performance, and system interactions that support operational training, testing, and mission rehearsal objectives.
Analyze digital engineering products, including CAD models, SysML architectures, FPGA/HDL designs, and system specifications to develop parameterized simulation models.
Translate engineering data into constructive simulation environments such as BSI MACE/ARMOR or equivalent modeling frameworks.
Develop and validate kinematic models supporting aircraft, missile, space, and orbital system behaviors.
Design and implement sensor phenomenology models, including RF, radar, and electromagnetic spectrum effects.
Support the integration of weapon systems and platform capabilities into LVC environments.
Develop and validate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) configurations to ensure realistic interaction between physical and simulated components.
Collaborate with engineers, simulation developers, and government stakeholders to ensure technical accuracy and operational relevance.
Conduct model verification, validation, and accreditation activities to support training and test objectives.
Support the development of synthetic environments that accurately represent real-world system performance and operational conditions.
Qualifications
Bachelor's with 12+ years (or commensurate experience)
Required Skills and Experience
Clearance Required: None
