Director of Enterprise Simulation & Synthesis

Build, lead, and grow the Simulation & Synthesis organization, including hiring, mentoring, onboarding, and performance development of technical staff.

Establish enterprise simulation standards, governance, and best practices, including model credibility, verification and validation (V&V), uncertainty management, traceability, and configuration management.

Develop and maintain scalable analysis workflows, infrastructure, automation, and data governance practices that support reproducible and high-quality engineering analysis.

Lead integrated system-level synthesis activities, including trade studies, coupled-effects analysis, budgets, margins, and decision-support artifacts used by Program leadership.

Partner with Program Directors, Systems Engineering, and peer Department Heads to ensure simulation activities are appropriately scoped, prioritized, and aligned to program milestones and decision points.

Drive integration between simulation and testing activities, including test planning, correlation strategies, post-test model updates, and operational profile development.

Define and implement engineering processes and “definition of done” standards for simulation activities across concept development, design, testing, and operations.

Build external partnerships with national laboratories, universities, and industry collaborators to accelerate technical capability development and attract top talent.

Represent Xcimer within technical conferences and modeling communities to establish credibility and strengthen recruiting efforts.
