What is the difference between Military Science Modeling Simulation vs Military Operations Analyst?

AspectMilitary Science Modeling SimulationMilitary Operations Analyst
Required CredentialsBachelor's in military science, engineering, or related field; proficiency in simulation softwareBachelor's in military science, logistics, or related field; analytical skills
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, simulation centers, military training facilitiesField operations, military bases, strategic planning offices
Employer & Industry UsageDefense contractors, military research units, government agenciesMilitary branches, defense agencies, strategic planning units

Military Science Modeling Simulation focuses on developing and analyzing military simulations using specialized software, while Military Operations Analysts interpret real-world military data to improve strategies. Both roles require a background in military science and work within defense-related environments, but their core functions differ in application—simulation development versus operational analysis.

Job Description:
Cortina Solutions is seeking a high-impact Senior Modeling and Simulation Engineer to lead the execution of a complex contract supporting the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). You must be ready to own the mission, overseeing complex, multi-domain efforts that shape the future of naval warfare technology. The ideal candidate will be expected to lead with Excellence, serve with Integrity, and approach every problem with a drive to Get Things Done.
The Senior Modeling and Simulation Engineer
provides advanced simulation and modeling support for complex engineering projects, leveraging virtual environments to evaluate system performance, durability, safety, and functionality. This role applies simulation-based engineering techniques to support design, analysis, and decision-making across a wide range of engineering applications.
Responsibilities include developing and executing computer simulations, such as probabilistic models, software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations, to assess engineering solutions under varied operational conditions. The position utilizes contemporary programming languages, including C++ and Fortran, to model dynamic, multi-variable scenarios and simulated environments. The role also develops virtual data visualization products, including virtual and augmented reality applications, to represent real-time simulation results and enhance stakeholder understanding. Support for simulation development using the Unity game engine is a key component of this position.
Job Requirements:
  • 10+ years of relevant civilian or military professional experience.
  • Bachelors degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Modeling and Simulation, or a related technical discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience using computer simulation technologies, including probabilistic, SIL, and HIL simulations.
  • Proficiency in contemporary programming languages including C++ and Fortran for simulation and modeling.
  • Experience developing virtual data visualization products to display real-time simulation results.
  • Ability to support modeling of complex systems with multiple changing variables.
  • Active DOD Secret clearance.

Preferred Requirements:
  • Advanced degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Modeling and Simulation, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience developing simulations using the Unity game engine.
  • Experience with virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) application development.

Benefits:
Cortina Solutions is committed to offering comprehensive and affordable benefits to employees and their families.
