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.
You must be able to manage your time effectively and interface with customers regularly. In addition, beyond simply meeting project milestones and deadlines, the ideal candidate sees modeling & simulation as a tool to empower decision makers and provides 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. In the process, you will become a subject matter expert in the system types that you model.
If this position is listed as onsite, you will 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.
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)
BS or BA degree in a math, physics, or engineering discipline
