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

Job Title: Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
This position is open for an AFSIM Developer or AFSIM Analyst. All applicants must meet the general requirements listed below to be considered for either role. Additional requirements specific to the AFSIM Developer role are indicated throughout the description; candidates meeting these additional qualifications will be considered for the Developer role.
Who You Are:
Much like your counterparts in the Old West, you are not one to be trifled with. You're as fearsome as Billy the Kid and as good a shot as Annie Oakley. Your instincts are unrivaled and your brand of justice final. Your weapons of choice; math, multi-lingual programming languages, and caffeine...lots of caffeine.
As AFSIM Gunslinger, your job is to tell customers what the modeling and simulation framework can do, could do, and won't do. You should understand the framework architecture so well that others think you invented it or were present when the GOTS tool was born. You should know how to integrate models from other tools and frameworks much like the outlaws of old who used many weapons as part of a greater arsenal. From that knowledge, depth, and breadth of understanding, you've gained a reputation as a cold-blooded developer capable of meeting deliverable times, hunting down and finding complex scripting issues, and sniffing-out trouble in proposed engineering solutions. You detest proprietary solutions from other vendors and reject them with great force.
Who We Are:
At Infinity Labs, we don't settle for incremental gains-we make bold leaps, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our culture thrives on innovation, where creativity fuels action, and inspiration sparks breakthroughs. We don't just embrace calculated risks; we see them as essential steps toward groundbreaking discoveries. We're on a mission to become the epicenter of transformational, multidisciplinary, system-of-systems technology solutions, strategically aligned with the National Defense Strategy. But our vision isn't just about technology-it's about you. Our structure and benefits are designed to protect your future and unleash your full potential. Join us if you're ready to make a real impact and redefine the future.
What You'll Do:
  • 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.

Additional Responsibilities for Developer Role:
  • Modify simulation frameworks to add functionality required to fully assess models and scenarios.
  • Develop new software plug-ins to increase simulation framework capability.

Minimum Qualifications/What You'll Bring:
  • 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
  • For AFSIM Developer candidates, industry experience with C++ development (preferably with C++ 11 or higher)

Education/Credentials:
  • BS or BA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field
  • US Citizenship is required for consideration, as this job requires a US government security clearance
    • Nice to have - Secret level clearance
    • Acceptable - No current clearance but eligibility to obtain

Nice to Haves:
  • Advanced degree in math, physics, or engineering
  • Familiarity with using a high-level language such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or Julia
  • Familiarity with the AFSIM community and know where to find data/POCs if needed
  • Experience modifying the AFSIM framework through the development of new plugins
  • Deep understanding of the World Simulation Framework
  • You can explain what a component-based architecture is
  • You understand the terms native model, plugin, extension, command syntax, and scripting in an AFSIM context
  • You can explain what an Application, Scenario, and Simulation are and why they are important
  • Experience with other mission-level simulation frameworks

Physical Demands:
  • Must be able to remain in a stationary position and work on a computer for prolonged periods
