Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger

About the role

This position is open for an AFSIM Developer or AFSIM Analyst. All applicants must meet the general requirements listed below to be considered for either role.

Responsibilities

• Configure digital representations of complex military systems to support operational utility, asset vulnerability, system integration, and concept of operations assessments within a synthetic simulation environment.
• Work with domain experts to understand the nuances of specific systems (or classes of systems) and use abstraction techniques to model them at the mission-level.
• Assemble known information when available and use engineering judgement to fill in the blanks to represent real world hardware, software, or processes used in military operations.
• Manage time effectively and interface with customers regularly.
• See modeling & simulation as a tool to empower decision makers and provide capabilities at the speed of relevance rather than endlessly pursuing "the perfect model."
• Coordinate with other model specialists and developers to plug capabilities into a greater system-of-systems environment used to analyze large scale mission vignettes.
• Become a subject matter expert in the system types that you model.

Requirements

• Minimum 2+ years of experience using the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) to model systems and systems of systems.
• Verifiable experience supporting government (military) programs.
• Proficiency in applying modeling & simulation techniques to support the decision-making process.

Qualifications

• Industry experience with C++ development (preferably with C++ 11 or higher) - for the Developer role.
• Advanced degree in math, physics, or engineering - nice to have.
• Familiarity with using a high-level language such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or Julia - nice to have.
• Familiarity with the AFSIM community and know where to find data/POCs if needed - nice to have.
• Experience modifying the AFSIM framework through the development of new plugins - nice to have.
• Deep understanding of the World Simulation Framework - nice to have.
• Explanation of what a component-based architecture is - nice to have.
• Explanation of what an Application, Scenario, and Simulation are and why they are important - nice to have.
• Experience with other mission-level simulation frameworks - nice to have.
