AFSIM Simulation Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
The Role
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—including requirements, functional threads, physical architectures, and interfaces—as AFSIM inputs to evaluate sensor-to-shooter kill chains and operational effects, including EMSO-relevant influences.
Responsibilities
- Develop, modify, and execute AFSIM models derived from MBSE SysML artifacts, including mission threads, functional flows, system architectures, and interface definitions
- Analyze blue vs. red kill chains, system interactions, and mission-level effects across integrated sensor, shooter, and command elements
- Translate MBSE handoff artifacts (requirements allocations, activity diagrams, block definitions, internal block diagrams) into executable AFSIM entities, behaviors, and interactions
- Integrate sensor, RF, EW, weapon, and platform models consistent with MBSE-defined system boundaries, interfaces, and architectural assumptions
- Support experimentation, test events, and LVC exercises focused on validating system architectures, mission threads, and kill-chain performance
- Conduct verification and validation of AFSIM models against MBSE-defined assumptions, constraints, and system definitions
- Perform statistical and analytical assessments of mission outcomes and kill-chain performance drivers, producing analysis products traceable to system design and architecture decisions
- Collaborate 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
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Operations Research, or related technical field
- 5+ 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 Qualifications
- 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
