Data Development SME

As a company, MAG is dedicated to providing real-time situational awareness to help our customers make the world safer. At MAG, we believe that our success is due to the exceptional employees we recruit, hire, and retain. If you are interested in joining a team that is laser-focused on serving our customers with technical expertise, operational excellence, and flawless execution, then we encourage you to apply today! 

MAG is looking for a Data Development Subject Matter Expert (SME) to assist the Next Generation Threat System (NGTS) software development team in the creation of high-fidelity platform, sensor and weapons models to support warfighter training, platform testing, analysis and research and development.  The NGTS software is multi-service, government designed, government owned and managed software that models threat and friendly aircraft, ground units, space, surface and subsurface platforms, corresponding weapons and subsystems and their interactions in a realistic digital theater environment.  As a Data Development SME, you will apply tactical knowledge and use intelligence data to create representative behavioral models of both blue and red warfare systems, including complex surface-to-air missile systems, radars and jammer models, supporting the deployment of NGTS to multiple services.  The NGTS software allows the warfighter to execute advanced missions in a highly-complex, high-end and threat-dense environments, not possible in open-air ranges.  Thereby, delivering a vital capability to enable warfighters to experience and dominate today's threats by executing honed tactics, techniques, and procedures on a digital range.
