Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger

Infinity Labs • Albuquerque, NM

About The Position

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. Additional requirements specific to the AFSIM Developer role are indicated throughout the description; candidates meeting these additional qualifications will be considered for the Developer role.

Much like your counterparts in the Old West, you are not one to be trifled with. You’re as fearsome as Billy the Kid and as good a shot as Annie Oakley. Your instincts are unrivaled and your brand of justice final. Your weapons of choice; math, multi-lingual programming languages, and caffeine…lots of caffeine. As AFSIM Gunslinger, your job is to tell customers what the modeling and simulation framework can do, could do, and won’t do. You should understand the framework architecture so well that others think you invented it or were present when the GOTS tool was born. You should know how to integrate models from other tools and frameworks much like the outlaws of old who used many weapons as part of a greater arsenal. From that knowledge, depth, and breadth of understanding, you’ve gained a reputation as a cold-blooded developer capable of meeting deliverable times, hunting down and finding complex scripting issues, and sniffing-out trouble in proposed engineering solutions. You detest proprietary solutions from other vendors and reject them with great force.

At Infinity Labs, we don’t settle for incremental gains—we make bold leaps, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our culture thrives on innovation, where creativity fuels action, and inspiration sparks breakthroughs. We don’t just embrace calculated risks; we see them as essential steps toward groundbreaking discoveries. We're on a mission to become the epicenter of transformational, multidisciplinary, system-of-systems technology solutions, strategically aligned with the National Defense Strategy. But our vision isn’t just about technology—it’s about you. Our structure and benefits are designed to protect your future and unleash your full potential. Join us if you're ready to make a real impact and redefine the future.

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
• Industry experience with C++ development (preferably with C++ 11 or higher) for AFSIM Developer candidates
• BS or BA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field
• US Citizenship is required for consideration, as this job requires a US government security clearance

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree in math, physics, or engineering
• Familiarity with using a high-level language such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or Julia
• Familiarity with the AFSIM community and know where to find data/POCs if needed
• Experience modifying the AFSIM framework through the development of new plugins
• Deep understanding of the World Simulation Framework
• Ability to explain what a component-based architecture is
• Understanding of the terms native model, plugin, extension, command syntax, and scripting in an AFSIM context
• Ability to explain what an Application, Scenario, and Simulation are and why they are important
• Experience with other mission-level simulation frameworks
• Secret level clearance
• Eligibility to obtain a US government security clearance

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 your time effectively and interface with customers regularly.
• Provide capabilities at the speed of relevance rather than endlessly pursuing “the perfect model”.
• Coordinate with other model specialist 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.
• Regularly collaborate with teammates and/or clients in person.
• Modify simulation frameworks to add functionality required to fully assess models and scenarios.
• Develop new software plug-ins to increase simulation framework capability.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Company-paid disability and life insurance.
• Generous 401(k) plan with guaranteed company contribution.
• Paid time-off options including floating holidays, personal time, parental leave, and community service opportunities.
• Investment in employee growth and development through tuition reimbursement and discounted tuition programs with select colleges.
