AFSIM Mission-Level Modeling & Simulation Analyst

About the role

Join SURVICE Engineering in Dayton, Ohio to deliver advanced modeling and simulation analyses that support military platforms and safeguard U.S. warfighters. As an AFSIM Mission-Level Modeling & Simulation Analyst, you will build, run, and evaluate high‑fidelity mission‑level simulations using the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM). The position requires an active U.S. security clearance and U.S. citizenship, involves approximately 10% travel, and offers a salary range of $100,000‑$150,000 depending on experience and education.

Responsibilities

• Build, run, and evaluate high‑fidelity mission‑level simulations using AFSIM.
• Develop scenario development, execution, kill‑chain dynamics, and evaluation of results in operational contexts.
• Develop simulation‑based study plans, run matrices, and analytical reports to support DoD program decision‑making.
• Work independently and in dynamic, small‑team environments.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Operations Research, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
• 2+ years of relevant experience (minimum); 2‑5+ years of professional experience in modeling & simulation or operations analysis, with 1‑3 years of direct AFSIM experience focused on mission‑level modeling and scenario analysis.
• Demonstrated experience conducting mission‑level modeling, simulation, and analysis using AFSIM, including scenario development, execution, kill‑chain dynamics, and evaluation of results in operational contexts.
• Strong understanding of military platforms, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), CONOPS, and mission‑level concepts (air combat, ISR, electronic warfare, or electromagnetic spectrum operations highly desirable).
• Experience developing simulation‑based study plans, run matrices, and analytical reports to support DoD program decision‑making.

Skills

• Proficiency in AFSIM scenario scripting and data post‑processing/analysis (Python or MATLAB experience strongly preferred for automation and visualization).
• Experience with associated toolsets such as HAL.
• Familiarity with DoD Modeling & Simulation (M&S) processes, including Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A).
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries
• Comprehensive insurance options
• Paid time off
• 401(k)
• Flexible spending accounts
• Tuition reimbursement
