• Support modeling and simulation tools that analyze the performance of thread capabilities.
• Lead technical work on integrating space and ground systems.
• On efforts that use Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), build, maintain, and validate system models with MBSE tools, methods, and workflows. These models serve as the technical baseline.
