Site Security personnel safeguard individuals, property, information, and assets against potential threats and unwanted access. They monitor security systems and respond promptly to security incidents. They assess security and emergency risks and implement training and preventative measures. They ensure compliance with security procedures and requirements.

Security Modeling and Simulation personnel provides preliminary and conceptual data for final Vulnerability Assessment (VA) reports, various security plans, protective force operations, and physical security requirements using a variety of sensitive unclassified/classified analytical/technical methods, tools, and techniques (i.e., Simajin) to produce a Probability of Neutralization number for each scenario. The data is used by the VA Team and other stakeholders as part of an equation to calculate System Effectiveness.

MOD/SIM analyzes upgrades and support Performance Assurance Program Essential Elements. MOD/SIM conducts and documents assigned FA-18 self-assessment and leads and presents sensitive unclassified/classified formal and informal briefings and meetings.

This position focuses on applying advanced theories, concepts, principles, and practices of modeling and simulation (M&S) analysis, particularly within the context of physical security and Vulnerability Assessments (VA). This includes knowledge of analytical and evaluative methods and a thorough understanding of orders, technical standards, and guides related to safeguards and security for DOE / NNSA assets. Comprehensive knowledge of, and skill in using, multiple sophisticated modeling and simulation software to model facilities, terrain, adversary attack plans, and protective force responses to determine the overall effectiveness of security systems.

A core function is to assess vulnerabilities by determining the Probability of Neutralization (PN) and ensure security measures align with security interests and comply with all DOE / NNSA standards and policies. The discipline also encompasses strategic security posture analysis for cost efficiencies and contributes to complex-wide M&S policy development.

Perform complex modeling and simulation (M&S) for Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) and site projects. This includes building facility and terrain models, modeling attack scenarios, and replicating protective force responses using specialized programs such as AutoCAD and the Vanguard® / Simajin® software suite. Provide M&S and physical security expertise for modeling and analyzing elements impacting target protection, such as facility barriers, pathways, threats, systems, insiders, and additional security measures.
