• Perform requirements analysis for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), cloud-based training solutions, simulation software, and related training systems.

• Support requirements decomposition, allocation, verification, validation, and traceability from capability requirements through final test procedures.

• Use or support Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) architecture products and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches and tools.

• Coordinate with Information Assurance/Cybersecurity personnel to support the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process and help ensure virtual platforms maintain valid Authorities to Operate (ATOs).

• Evaluate technical impacts of cybersecurity controls, patches, IAVAs, and STIG requirements to help preserve simulator performance and training fidelity.
