Position Location: Wright Patterson AFB, OH
Makai is seeking a Software Systems Engineer to support the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) Model Management Office (MMO) contract. Your career at Makai enables the AFSIM MMO to fulfill its mission to “provide U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition, operations analysis, and research and engineering communities with an ever-expanding toolset to ease scenario and model creation, strengthen analytical conclusions, and enrich virtual wargaming experiences.” As a member of our team, you will support the corporate and customer mission to provide software engineering services for AFSIM MMO.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Guide MMO programs and products through the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWAP) as defined in DoDI 5000.02 Section 4.2. This pathway is designed for software-intensive systems to facilitate the rapid and iterative delivery of software capability. It integrates modern software development practices such as Agile Software Development, DevSecOps, and Lean Practices – capitalizing on active user engagement and tightly-coupled government-industry software teams to rapidly deliver value to end users.
- Advise and assist MMO with requirements, governance, architectural, verification and validation, application support, and data rights strategies.
- Requirements Strategy: Advise or assist in the management of product requirements elicited and captured at multiple classification levels and conveyed through product backlogs at an appropriate level of granularity to facilitate lean-agile development practices. Also document high-level or strategic requirements through a capability needs statement, software initial capabilities document, or similar artifact.
- Architectural Strategy: Advise or assist in capturing and managing key design decisions that comprise the architectural baseline of MMO software products and services such as AFSIM. Ensure the adequacy of architectural documentation to sustain a Government open-source business model and an ecosystem of compatible products and services (acquired from multiple, diverse suppliers). Evaluate proposed architectural changes considering Government business drivers or constraints and maintain necessary architectural records as part of a comprehensive information support plan.
- Application Support Strategy: Advise or assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of an application support strategy encompassing product and service offerings such as a community helpdesk, documentation, and (live or self-paced) training. Assess the adequacy of existing products and services to satisfy diverse enterprise (DoD, DAF) users. Devise new support strategies commensurate with modern scientific and technical applications.
- Verification and Validation Strategy: Advise or assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of a comprehensive Verification & Validation (V&V) strategy sufficient to support enterprise (DoD, DAF) accreditation pathways. Coordinate V&V requirements with key stakeholders and assess the adequacy of model acquisition, production, and test plans to satisfy diverse user contexts.
- Governance Strategy: The contractor shall advise or assist in establishing and facilitating user-centric engagement processes. These processes should drive user and stakeholder feedback to product design and development activities early and often. Such feedback is a critical enabler for success with agile software development methodologies. Also, document or enforce technical governance structures and engagement strategies through a process document, governance charter, user agreement, or similar artifact.
- Data Rights Strategy: Advise or assist in managing and protecting Government data rights in accordance with a Government open-source business model. Advise or assist in the development of a comprehensive strategy to maximize government investment while capitalizing on commercial innovation across a diverse pool of potential capability suppliers.
