Job Description
MODELING & SIMULATION ENGINEER (AFSIM / Linux Systems)
Company: Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi)
Location: Colorado Springs / Peterson SFB area, CO (Primarily Off-site / Contractor Facility; periodic on-site support at Peterson SFB as needed)
Anticipated Start Date: June 2026
Clearance: Active Secret (required)
EMPLOYMENT NOTE:
• Full-time position contingent upon contract award. STi is actively identifying highly qualified cleared candidates for proposal submission and rapid post-award onboarding.
• Anticipated Period of Performance: June 2026 – June 2031
ABOUT STI:
Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi) supports national security missions across Engineering MRO Logistics IT & Cybersecurity Program Control. STi is a minority-owned Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) focused on delivering effective, flexible, and innovative solutions that help customers meet mission objectives.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
STi is seeking a Modeling & Simulation Engineer to support optional modeling-and-simulation and technical computing-resource activities for HQ NORAD & USNORTHCOM J84. This hybrid role combines the functions of AFSIM scenario/interface support with assistive administrative support for standalone Windows/Linux workstations used in test-and-development environments. The ideal candidate can help build or execute AFSIM-related support tasks when directed, while also providing practical technical support for user accounts, software installation/troubleshooting, file-share and OS issues, patching, and secure configuration support across J84 computing resources
PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
You’ll support optional modeling-and-simulation tasks plus assistive technical support for mission computing resources. Responsibilities include:
• Support AFSIM scenario development and execution tasks when Government-directed, including scenario setup, object/platform support, interface coordination, output support, and technical documentation.
• Assist with scenario and data repository handling for future reuse, reuse support, and configuration-minded storage of scenario objects and outputs.
• Support preparation of reports, technical outputs, and engineering artifacts associated with directed AFSIM tasks.
• Provide assistive administrative support for J84 test-and-development computing resources, including standalone Windows and Linux workstations.
• Perform user-account support actions such as new account setup, password resets, and account lockout assistance.
• Support software installation and troubleshooting, including license-server restarts, installation verification, common error checks, and application-configuration assistance.
• Troubleshoot file-share, operating system, and workstation-performance issues, including diagnosis of complex connection or runtime issues and support to patch/update activities.
• Support security and hardening activities contributing to STIG-aligned configurations and secure computing practices.
• Coordinate closely with the on-site Technical Lead and broader team to keep optional AFSIM support and computing-resource support aligned to Government priorities and approval paths.
• Provide disciplined technical communication and documentation so issues, actions, and recommendations remain traceable in a mission-support environment.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
U.S. Citizenship required. Active Secret required for this program.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Modeling & Simulation, or related technical field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered
• 5+ years of relevant experience in modeling and simulation support, systems engineering, Linux/Windows systems support, mission lab support, or related defense technical environments
• Experience with Linux and Windows troubleshooting in operational, lab, or mission-support settings
• Experience supporting user accounts, software installation, operating system issues, patching, or secure-configuration-related technical support
• Familiarity with modeling-and-simulation workflows, scenario-based technical environments, or simulation support activities
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation, issue summaries, and user-facing engineering communication
• Ability to work in a classified/CUI-sensitive mission environment and respond to evolving Government technical priorities
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Direct AFSIM experience strongly preferred
• Experience supporting scenario development, experimentation, wargames, test support, or mission-analysis environments
• Familiarity with Behavior and Agent Modeling (BAM), Monte Carlo-style simulation support, or related M&S techniques
• Red Hat Linux and/or Windows Server experience
• Familiarity with STIG compliance/remediation, secure baseline support, or mission-system hardening practices
• CompTIA Security+ and/or Network+
• Experience supporting aerospace, air defense, missile defense, space, or other operational analysis missions
• Prior support to NORAD, USNORTHCOM, Space Force, Air Force, or Colorado Springs-based defense programs
• Active TS/SCI
WORK ENVIRONMENT
• Colorado Springs / Peterson SFB support area
• Support generally aligns to Government core hours; short-notice surge support may occasionally be required
Keywords: AFSIM, modeling and simulation, Linux, Red Hat, Windows, Windows Server, workstation support, systems support, STIG, Security+, mission analysis, experiment support, Colorado Springs
