What does a Modeling Simulation Engineer do?

A Modeling Simulation Engineer develops virtual models and simulations to analyze complex systems and processes. They use mathematical models, computer simulations, and data analysis to predict system performance and optimize designs before physical implementation. These engineers typically work in industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, and healthcare to improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making. Their role often involves coding, algorithm development, and working with simulation software to test real-world scenarios in a virtual environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Modeling Simulation Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Modeling Simulation Engineer, you need a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer science, typically supported by a relevant engineering or science degree. Proficiency with simulation software such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, or similar tools, and sometimes certifications in systems engineering or modeling methodologies, are commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills set top candidates apart. These qualifications are crucial for accurately representing complex systems, translating requirements into effective models, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals.

What are the typical responsibilities and project stages for a Modeling Simulation Engineer?

Modeling Simulation Engineers are responsible for developing mathematical models, running simulations, analyzing results, and providing recommendations to improve system performance or design. Projects often begin with understanding client or stakeholder requirements, followed by designing models based on those needs and iteratively refining them as data is collected. Engineers work closely with design, hardware, and software teams to validate models and ensure alignment with real-world performance. Collaborating with colleagues and presenting findings to both technical and non-technical audiences are routine aspects of the job, making cross-functional communication vital for project success.

Position Summary

Join SURVICE Engineering in delivering advanced modeling and simulation analyses that directly support military platforms and safeguard U.S. warfighters. We are seeking an experienced AFSIM Mission-Level Modeling & Simulation Analyst to build, run, and evaluate highfidelity mission-level simulations using the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM). In this role, you'll accelerate your career while contributing as a key member of a multidisciplinary team providing essential modeling and simulation support to DoD programs, including platform assessments, operational scenario development, and mission effectiveness analysis. Become part of a collaborative, mission-focused engineering team located near Wright-Patterson AFB.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities of AFSIM Analyst

  • 2-5+ years of professional experience in modeling & simulation or operations analysis, with 1–3 years of direct AFSIM experience focused on mission-level modeling and scenario analysis.

  • Demonstrated experience conducting mission-level modeling, simulation, and analysis using AFSIM, including scenario development, execution, kill-chain dynamics, and evaluation of results in operational contexts.

  • Strong understanding of military platforms, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), CONOPS, and mission-level concepts (air combat, ISR, electronic warfare, or electromagnetic spectrum operations highly desirable).

  • Experience developing simulation-based study plans, run matrices, and analytical reports to support DoD program decision-making.

  • Proficiency in AFSIM scenario scripting and data post-processing/analysis (Python or MATLAB experience strongly preferred for automation and visualization) and associated toolsets (e.g. HAL)

  • Familiarity with DoD Modeling & Simulation (M&S) processes, including Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A)

  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and in dynamic, small-team environments with strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Minimum Qualifications of AFSIM Analyst
Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Operations Research, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field; Master's degree preferred - 2+ years of relevant experience. Candidates are not required to possess all qualifications; is you possess some of the desired qualifications, please apply.
