Afsim Engineer information

What are some common challenges faced by an AFSIM Engineer when integrating new simulation models into existing frameworks?

AFSIM Engineers often encounter challenges when integrating new models, such as ensuring compatibility with existing simulation architectures and maintaining data integrity across various components. Balancing the fidelity of simulations with computational efficiency can also be demanding, especially when working with large-scale or complex scenarios. Additionally, effective communication with multidisciplinary teams—like software developers, analysts, and subject matter experts—is essential to align requirements and resolve integration issues promptly.

What is an AFSIM Engineer?

An AFSIM Engineer is a specialist who works with the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) software. They are responsible for developing, integrating, and analyzing complex simulations, often for defense or aerospace applications. Their work involves modeling systems, running performance assessments, and supporting decision-making with simulation data. AFSIM Engineers typically have backgrounds in engineering, computer science, or physics, and experience with scripting or programming is often required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AFSIM Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an AFSIM Engineer, you need a strong background in systems engineering, simulation modeling, and programming, typically supported by a degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field. Proficiency with the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM), scripting languages (such as Lua or Python), and experience with modeling tools are essential. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective communication set top performers apart. These competencies ensure accurate simulation results, effective collaboration, and the ability to meet complex defense or aerospace modeling needs.

Job description

Leidos is seeking an AFSIM Modeling and Simulation Engineer with an active TS/SCI at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This role combines strong technical expertise with excellent collaboration skills, working alongside government personnel, contractors, and a team of engineers and scientists to solve complex challenges involving highly advanced systems.
Primary Responsibilities:
  • Develop and integrate system models (satellites, radars, aircraft, missiles, command & control) into a large-scale, many-on-many AFSIM simulation environment.
  • Collaborate closely with a small, cross-functional team of government and contractor staff.
  • Create AFSIM representations of space and ground systems for AF/DoD use, applying engineering judgment to address intelligence gaps and accurately model real-world systems.
  • Utilize CI/CD tools to test and evaluate AFSIM models prior to delivery.
  • Prepare documentation, analytic reports, and multimedia products to support mission objectives.

Basic Qualifications:
  • Active TS/SCI clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in CS, CE, EE, or related field with 8+ years of experience; OR Master's degree with 6+ years of experience. Equivalent experience, training, or certifications may be accepted in place of a degree.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Modeling & Simulation (M&S) techniques.
  • Experience with CMake and Visual Studio for building and compiling AFSIM extensions and plug-ins.
  • Experience with AFSIM (Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling), including extensions and plug-ins.
  • Strong English-language writing and briefing skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to thrive in a highly technical, collaborative environment.
  • Ability to work independently under tight deadlines in a mixed government-contractor setting.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in CS, CE, EE, or related field.
  • Prior experience at WPAFB, working with Intelligence Community models and all-source analysis.
  • Familiarity with radars, aircraft, missiles, space vehicles, and tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Simulink Coder.
