Job: AFSIM Analyst – Modeling, Simulation & Analysis

Location: Fort Rucker, AL

Employment Type: Full-Time

Clearance: Active DoD Secret Clearance Required

Position is contingent upon contract award

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) Analyst to support Army Aviation modernization efforts through Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) activities at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

The AFSIM Analyst will support mission engineering, operational analysis, experimentation, concept development, and capability assessment activities. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with AFSIM or comparable military simulation environments and a strong understanding of Army Aviation operations, systems, and emerging operational concepts.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the development, integration, and execution of AFSIM-based Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) capabilities.
• Assist government engineers and analysts in transitioning legacy models, data, scenarios, and analytical workflows into the modernized Integrated Digital Environment.
• Develop, configure, and maintain AFSIM models, scenarios, simulations, and analytical products supporting Army Aviation missions.
• Support mission engineering, mission effectiveness analysis, operational analysis, and experimentation activities.
• Develop and execute simulation scenarios to evaluate current and future Army Aviation concepts, capabilities, and operational requirements.
• Support modeling of aviation platforms, sensors, weapons, communications, electronic warfare, survivability, threats, and operational behaviors.
• Support analysis of Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T), launched effects, and emerging Army Aviation operational concepts.
• Assist in integrating AFSIM with other government-directed simulation, modeling, and analysis tools within the Integrated Digital Environment.
• Identify and troubleshoot simulation, modeling, data, and integration issues and recommend solutions.
• Support verification, validation, accreditation, and configuration management activities for AFSIM models and associated simulation components.
• Analyze simulation outputs and develop technical findings, recommendations, briefings, reports, and other engineering documentation.
• Participate in technical meetings, working groups, design reviews, experimentation events, and technology demonstrations.
• Collaborate with government engineers, systems engineers, software developers, military analysts, aviators, operators, and capability developers.
• Provide technical recommendations to support programmatic, engineering, and capability-development decisions.
• Maintain awareness of emerging Army Aviation technologies, Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiatives, MUM-T, launched effects, and evolving operational requirements.
• Support the development and refinement of MS&A processes, tools, data, and analytical methodologies.

Required Qualifications

• U.S. Citizen and an active DoD Secret security clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, Mathematics, Physics, or another related technical discipline.
• Demonstrated experience with AFSIM or comparable military Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis environments.
• Experience supporting MS&A, mission analysis, operational analysis, mission engineering, or military simulation activities.
• Understanding of military simulation concepts, scenario development, data analysis, and simulation execution.
• Ability to analyze complex technical information and translate results into clear findings and recommendations.
• Strong written, verbal, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and effectively as part of a multidisciplinary government/contractor team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience supporting Army Aviation programs, organizations, or mission analysis activities.
• Hands-on experience developing or modifying AFSIM scenarios, models, inputs, outputs, or analysis products.
• Experience with aviation platforms, sensors, weapons, communications, electronic warfare, aircraft survivability, or threat modeling.
• Familiarity with Future Vertical Lift (FVL), MUM-T, launched effects, or other emerging Army Aviation concepts.
• Experience with mission engineering and mission effectiveness analysis.
• Familiarity with digital engineering and Integrated Digital Environments (IDE).
• Experience with simulation interoperability and integration of multiple MS&A tools.
• Knowledge of modeling and simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and configuration management.
• Experience with analytical tools such as MATLAB, Python, C++, C#, or other modeling and analysis tools.
• Familiarity with Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles and modern digital engineering practices.
• Experience supporting prototype development, experimentation events, demonstrations, or operational assessments.
