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 todays threats by executing honed tactics, techniques, and procedures on a digital range.
