About The Position

Seeking an experienced Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) Modeler to provide Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) support to U.S. Department of Defense programs. The selected candidate will design, build, and execute AFSIM-based scenarios and models that assess system performance, CONOPS, and mission outcomes for government stakeholders.

What will you do?

· Design, develop, and configure AFSIM models, entities, and scenarios to support engagement-, mission-, and campaign-level analyses.
· Translate operational concepts, requirements, and threat environments into executable AFSIM representations and analytic runs.
· Develop and modify AFSIM behaviors, parameters, and configurations to evaluate system performance and warfighting effectiveness.
· Use scripting and AFSIM tools to automate scenario execution, parametric studies, and sensitivity analyses.
· Work closely with government analysts, operators, and system engineers to define study objectives, measures of effectiveness, and required outputs.
· Analyze simulation outputs, generate visualizations, and prepare briefings and reports that clearly communicate findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
· Support verification and validation of models and scenarios, including documentation of assumptions, limitations, and data sources.
· Contribute to technical documentation, user guides, and contract deliverables (CDRLs) in accordance with customer standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 2–5+ years of experience in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) or MS&A for DoD or Intelligence Community programs.
• Hands-on experience using AFSIM for scenario development, analysis, or model configuration (e.g., entities, weapons, sensors, tactics).
• Familiarity with scripting or programming (e.g., AFSIM scripting, Python, MATLAB, or similar tools) to automate runs and post-process data.
• Ability to interpret and model operational concepts, threat laydowns, and system characteristics from government documentation and SMEs.
• Strong analytical, communication, and briefing skills, with experience presenting technical results to government customers.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance; current active Secret or higher strongly preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting AFLCMC, AFRL, or other Dayton-area DoD organizations on MS&A tasks.
• Background in air, space, or multi-domain operations, electronic warfare, or command and control modeling.
• Experience with C++ or other compiled languages used to extend or customize AFSIM components.
• Familiarity with data visualization and analysis tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Excel, or similar).
• Prior experience working as a government contractor delivering technical reports, briefings, and CDRLs.
