Job duties may include:
- Review of threat model documentation for identifying process improvement
- Threat model and/or architecture release testing
- Analyzing M&S performance of small to large autonomous and/or integrated scenarios, focusing on messages sent between simulation federates and comparing threat model performance to Intelligence data
- Configuring M&S scenarios using threat model documentation and Intelligence data
- Executing simulations with user-configured ("Constructive") threat models as well as Operator-in-the-Loop (OITL) threat models
- Performing "batch" runs (i.e. more than one run) for scenarios by sweeping threat model parameters
- Using Gitlab Software Configuration Management for software issue reporting and file configuration management
- Using Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for documenting test reports and results, and documenting identified M&S process improvement recommendations
