Demand for these solutions is growing rapidly, and our Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) Training & Simulation Center of Excellence is scaling to meet it. We are seeking a senior leader to run the COE and accelerate the maturity and delivery of the capability so it outpaces mission needs.</p> <p>This is a hands-on leadership role. You will own the reference architecture and standards for our synthetic training environment, integrate the mix of simulations, game engines, command-and-control systems, and terrain into one interoperable environment, and guide the delivery and demonstration cadence that keeps it materially relevant to the mission in an accelerating needs landscape. You understand this market as a system of systems rather than a single product, and you can personally compose the solution, brief it to senior customers, and answer hard technical questions.</p> <p>Because this is an accelerating practice, the role also carries a real growth mandate: you will help set the market strategy, build relationships, qualify pipeline, and shape and win priority pursuits. Roughly half of the job is building and running the capability and the team; the other half is building the business behind it.</p> <p><strong>The work</strong></p> <p><strong>Own the technical direction</strong></p> <ul> <li>Set and maintain the reference architecture and interoperability standards for the LVC / synthetic training environment: how simulation and computer-generated forces, image generation, game engines, command-and-control and data services, and terrain and 3D content compose into one environment through open standards (e.g., HLA, DIS, TENA, MSDL).</li> <li>Establish the engineering standards, integration patterns, and quality and security gates the team builds to, and serve as the senior technical authority to customer program leadership.</li> <li>Evaluate tools and technologies across the ecosystem and decide what to adopt, build, or partner for; keep the architecture current as the market and mission evolve.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Architect and integrate the environment</strong></p> <ul> <li>Lead the design and integration of the composable synthetic environment end to end, resolving interoperability across simulations, engines, C2/data services, and terrain.</li> <li>Translate operational and technical requirements into a differentiated, defensible solution and value proposition.</li> <li>Own model and environment verification, validation, and configuration management so results and demonstrations are credible for their intended use.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Guide delivery and demonstrations</strong></p> <ul> <li>Guide delivery of the capability, including demonstrations, exercise support, and the operating cadence that keeps the environment current; own quality, schedule, risk, and security posture.</li> <li>Plan and run demonstrations and events that turn the environment into a credible, repeatable proof point for customers.</li> <li>Recommend where to invest (IR&D, tooling, technology, partnerships) to sustain long-term technical differentiation.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Build and lead the team</strong></p> <ul> <li>Recruit, develop, and retain engineering talent; grow an understudy and a partner bench so the capability never rests on a single person.</li> <li>Manage the partner and vendor ecosystem: pre-agree teaming and escalation so specialist depth is available on demand.</li> <li>Coach engineers and partners on the integrated toolset and an AI-enabled way of working.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Grow the practice</strong></p> <ul> <li>Contribute to the growth strategy for LVC training and simulation: where the market is heading, where we differentiate, and how we win.</li> <li>Build and sustain trusted relationships across DoD and coalition training and readiness stakeholders (operational, requirements, program management, acquisition, and budget), and represent the practice at major industry events.</li> <li>Build and qualify a pipeline aligned to our priorities, shape requirements and acquisition strategies ahead of formal solicitations, and lead priority captures from qualification through award, including teaming, solution and win strategy, and proposal readiness.</li> <
