Simulation Engineer - Advanced Framework for Simulation and Inte

Description

The AFSIM Simulation Engineer develops, executes, and analyzes physics-based mission simulations using the Advanced Framework for Simulation and Integration Modeling (AFSIM). This role supports mission effectiveness assessments, experimentation, and Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) events by implementing MBSE-derived SysML views (requirements, functional threads, physical architectures, and interfaces) as AFSIM inputs to evaluate sensor-to-shooter kill chains and operational effects, including EMSO-relevant influences.

• Developing, modifying, and executing AFSIM models derived from MBSE SysML artifacts, including mission threads, functional flows, system architectures, and interface definitions
• Analyzing blue vs. red kill chains, system interactions, and mission-level effects across integrated sensor, shooter, and command elements
• Translating MBSE handoff artifacts (requirements allocations, activity diagrams, block definitions, internal block diagrams) into executable AFSIM entities, behaviors, and interactions
• Integrating sensor, RF, EW, weapon, and platform models consistent with MBSE-defined system boundaries, interfaces, and architectural assumptions
• Supporting experimentation, test events, and LVC exercises focused on validating system architectures, mission threads, and kill-chain performance
• Conducting verification and validation of AFSIM models against MBSE-defined assumptions, constraints, and system definitions
• Performing statistical and analytical assessments of mission outcomes and kill-chain performance drivers, producing analysis products that trace back to system design and architecture decisions
• Collaborating with MBSE, LVC, and other modeling and simulation teams to maintain digital thread continuity from SysML models through AFSIM simulations to analysis reports and T&E artifacts

FILLING THIS POSITION IS CONTINGENT UPON FUNDING

#LI-JC1

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, operations research, or related technical field
• Five or more 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 and architecture drivers

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware-centric mission systems within an MBSE-driven development environment
• Experience executing sensor-to-shooter or effects-based kill-chain analysis tied directly to system architecture trades
• Experience supporting DoD test, evaluation, or experimentation activities using MBSE-informed scenarios and architectures
• Programming experience in Python, C++, or MATLAB
