The USAF Wargame Software Developer position at Sumaria Systems involves designing, building, testing, and deploying software specifically tailored for wargaming activities that support the United States Air Force (USAF). This role is critical in creating a client-based wargame common operating picture that integrates operational and logistical requirements using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platforms such as ARCGIS. The developer will be responsible for creating an intuitive front-end user interface that accommodates multiple users and developing capabilities to dynamically update existing databases based on user inputs. The position requires supporting the design of wargames to meet various objectives, maintaining and modernizing the Wargame Information Environment (WIE), and preparing WIE hardware and software for incorporation into wargames at both regular work sites and offsite locations. The WIE includes modeling and simulation (M&S), visualization, and other tools that enhance game planning, execution, adjudication, data collection, and analysis. The developer will also be tasked with the development, maintenance, support, and modernization of the Government-owned GameNet system, which includes M&S tools and business applications that facilitate wargame planning and execution. In addition, the developer will manage a configuration control board to prioritize updates to the WIE environment, maintain a collaborative workspace for sharing information across GameNet, and ensure user identity and access management. The role also involves preparing database architectures for wargame scenarios, developing applications to integrate industry-standard modeling and simulation tools, and ensuring accurate representation of data within the common operating picture (COP). The developer will continually improve M&S capabilities, evaluate new tools, and provide inputs for new M&S requirements to enhance wargaming and experimentation activities.
