The position requires strong engineering judgment, hands-on AFSIM development expertise, and the ability to lead small teams and interface directly with government stakeholders.


Key Responsibilities

AFSIM Development and Simulation Architecture

  • Lead the design, development, and implementation of custom AFSIM solutions to support mission analysis and system evaluation.
  • Develop and extend custom models, behaviors, and plugins within AFSIM to meet evolving mission requirements.
  • Architect and execute complex simulation scenarios supporting Electronic Warfare, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations, and multi-domain operations.
  • Integrate AFSIM with other modeling and analysis tools, such as STK, NGTS, Builder, or other mission-level frameworks.

Technical Leadership and Stakeholder Support

  • Serve as a technical lead for AFSIM-based efforts, providing guidance to junior engineers and analysts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align modeling efforts with system requirements and operational objectives.
  • Analyze simulation outputs and provide actionable insights, technical reports, and briefings to government stakeholders.
  • Communicate with government stakeholders in support of technical and mission objectives.

Programming, Automation, and Systems Engineering

  • Apply programming expertise, including Python, C++, or similar languages, to support automation, data processing, and tool integration.

Clearance

  • Minimum TS clearance is required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • Deep familiarity with AFSIM architecture, scripting, and plugin development.
  • Experience integrating AFSIM with mission-level or constructive simulation environments.
  • Knowledge of electronic warfare, RF systems, or spectrum operations.
  • Experience with MBSE tools such as SysML, Cameo, or MagicDraw.
  • Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
