• Provide hands-on technical support for M&S software tools  across multiple customer programs, including configuration, customization, troubleshooting, simulation execution support, and results validation  

• Build and   maintain   data transformation logic and adapters  to convert enterprise data formats into simulation-ready representations while preserving semantic meaning of mission datasets ( eg   orbital parameters, spacecraft configurations, sensor characteristics, environmental models)  

• Support migration of embedded legacy data to modern   Data Management   platforms , ensuring data integrity and   establishing   patterns for reusable, centralized data management versus software-embedded datasets  

• Serve as technical liaison  between data management teams, M&S software developers, mission analysts, and stakeholders across diverse programs with varying requirements and classification levels  

• Develop scripts, utilities, and automation tools  to streamline data preparation, ingestion, post-processing workflows, and   optimize   data schemas and access patterns for M&S workloads
