AFSIM Simulation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop, modify, and execute AFSIM models derived from MBSE SysML artifacts, including mission threads and system architectures
• Analyze blue vs. red kill chains, system interactions, and mission-level effects across integrated sensor, shooter, and command elements
• Translate MBSE handoff artifacts into executable AFSIM entities, behaviors, and interactions
• Integrate sensor, RF, EW, weapon, and platform models consistent with MBSE-defined system boundaries
• Support experimentation, test events, and LVC exercises focused on validating system architectures and kill-chain performance
• Conduct verification and validation of AFSIM models against MBSE-defined assumptions and constraints
• Perform statistical and analytical assessments of mission outcomes to produce actionable analysis products

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Operations Research, or a related technical field
• Active DoD Secret clearance (Top Secret/SCI preferred)
• 5+ years of modeling and simulation experience supporting system-level or mission-level analysis
• Hands-on experience developing and executing AFSIM models
• Strong understanding of mission-level analysis, system architectures, and kill-chain dynamics
• Ability to interpret and analyze large simulation datasets and trace results back to system requirements

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware-centric mission systems within an MBSE-driven environment
• Experience executing sensor-to-shooter or effects-based kill-chain analysis
• Experience supporting DoD test, evaluation, or experimentation activities
• Programming experience in Python, C++, or MATLAB
