Senior Digital Twin Engineer

Position: Senior Digital Twin Engineer

As a Senior Digital Twin Engineer, you will dive into the heart of cloud-native architectures, exploring the features and benefits supporting digital twin solutions. This role offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and pivotal projects that redefine technological boundaries. This is an opportunity to drive change and foster a deeper understanding of infrastructure requirements or impediments of the deployment of digital twin applications in an impactful environment. Join us to push the limits of what's possible, making a difference in the Department of Defense (DoD), the United States Air Force (USAF) and beyond.

The ideal candidate will have a background in cloud-native architectures, digital twin technologies, and knowledge of Department of Defense (DoD) IT policies / standards. This role involves extensive research, evaluation, and documentation of infrastructure environments supporting digital twin solutions, with a focus on cloud-native architectures and cultural vs. policy influences on tool usage within DoD contexts.

What You Will Be Doing

• Research, evaluate, and document the current state of infrastructure environments supporting digital twin solutions, focusing on cloud-native architectures and compliance with relevant standards
• Assess the breadth of DoD-compliant digital twin solutions and provide insights into the cultural vs. policy aspects influencing the use of current tools
• Evaluate selected digital twin applications infrastructure environments against standard reference architectures for cloud-native applications
• Inform and help establish digital twin infrastructure evaluation criteria
• Investigate the impacts of culture and policy in the context of current DoD tools and document findings
• Conduct evaluations of cloud-native digital twin solution options and infrastructure to support a successful implementation of digital twin solutions
• Evaluate approximately five digital twin applications against available, published OSD standard reference architectures for cloud-native
  
  

applications and document the strengths and limitations or barriers of each

• Provide insights into industry practices concerning digital twins and the infrastructures that support digital twin solutions
• Document software company business models and their impact on government evaluation and decisions
• Observe and document common digital toolsets and their components
• Review and evaluate current digital twinning technologies and solutions available in the market
• Explore infrastructure limitations and process improvements as applied to digital twin solutions
• Conduct assessments, studies, and roadmap development
• Maintain close partnership and open communication with the project manager and stakeholders to ensure project alignment with Air Force objectives.
• Conduct weekly calls and prepare monthly progress reports
