What is the difference between Defense Modeling Simulation vs Defense Systems Engineer?

AspectDefense Modeling SimulationDefense Systems Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in engineering, computer science, or related fields; often certifications in modeling and simulationBachelor's or higher in engineering, systems engineering, or related fields; certifications in systems engineering may be preferred
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, defense contractors, government agencies; focus on simulation development and analysisDesign, develop, and integrate defense systems; work in engineering teams within defense companies or military organizations
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily in defense research, simulation development, and testingInvolved in system design, integration, and lifecycle management of defense platforms

Defense Modeling Simulation specialists focus on creating and analyzing simulations to test defense concepts, while Defense Systems Engineers design and develop actual defense systems. Both roles require engineering backgrounds but differ in their core responsibilities and work environments.

Job description

About IWV

Iron Will Ventures is a cleared defense small business supporting the nation's highest-priority hypersonic flight test, missile defense, and launch operations missions. We deliver practitioner-grade technical, program, and acquisition support to DoW customers across the enterprise — including TRMC, MDA, JHTO, and the missile enterprise community.


Position Summary
Iron Will Ventures (IWV) seeks a Modeling & Simulation Engineer to support hypersonic and strike weapon system development, test planning, and analysis at NSWC Crane. The successful candidate will build and execute engagement- and engineering-level models — principally AFSIM and 6-DOF trajectory simulations — to inform flight test design, performance assessment, and weapon system integration decisions for DoD sponsors including OUSD(R&E)/TRMC, JHTO, and Navy program offices.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, modify, and execute AFSIM scenarios and platform/sensor/weapon models to support mission-level trade studies, campaign analysis, and capability gap assessment.
  • Build and validate 6-DOF flight dynamics models for hypersonic and tactical missile configurations; support aero database integration, GNC model insertion, and Monte Carlo dispersion analysis.
  • Generate trajectory products supporting flight test planning: nominal and dispersed trajectories, footprint and debris analysis inputs, range safety data packages, and instrumentation/coverage assessments.
  • Perform post-flight reconstruction and model validation against telemetry and range-collected data; document deltas and recommend model updates.
  • Support digital mission engineering workflows — model configuration control, data standards, automation of run matrices, and integration of M&S products into government decision artifacts.
  • Produce technical documentation, analysis briefs, and quick-turn responses for government leadership.
  • Coordinate with prime contractors, test ranges, and government technical leads; represent IWV in working groups and technical interchange meetings.


Required Qualifications

  • Ability to Obtain a DoD Secret clearance (TS/SCI eligible preferred).
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Applied Mathematics.
  • 5+ years of hands-on M&S experience in a DoD or defense-industry environment.
  • Demonstrated AFSIM proficiency — scenario construction, model development, and results analysis (not solely end-user operation).
  • Demonstrated 6-DOF simulation experience for missiles, launch vehicles, or hypersonic vehicles.
  • Working proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for data reduction, automation, and visualization.
  • Ability to work on-site at NSWC Crane and travel as required.


Desired Qualifications

  • Active DoD Secret clearance (TS/SCI eligible preferred).
  • Experience supporting hypersonic flight test programs (MACH-TB, MACH-XL, CPS, LRHW, ARRW, or equivalent).
  • AFSIM plugin/extension development in C++.
  • Familiarity with range safety analysis, flight termination, and launch approval processes.
  • Experience with aero prediction and trajectory tools (Missile DATCOM, POST, OTIS, TAOS, GHAME, or equivalent).
  • Exposure to threat modeling, EMS/plasma sheath effects, or seeker/RF performance modeling.
  • Prior SETA or A&AS support to a government program office.
  • M.S. in a relevant engineering discipline.


Travel

  • Up to 25% CONUS, primarily to test ranges and sponsor sites.
