What is a Process Simulation job?

A Process Simulation job involves using software tools to model, analyze, and optimize industrial processes in industries like chemical, manufacturing, and energy. Engineers in this role create virtual models to test different scenarios, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure safety. They work with simulation software such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or MATLAB to predict system performance before physical implementation. This helps companies make data-driven decisions and improve overall process reliability.

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

To thrive in Process Simulation, a strong background in chemical engineering, process modeling, and analytical thinking is essential, often supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Expertise with simulation software such as Aspen HYSYS, CHEMCAD, or MATLAB, and familiarity with process control systems, are highly valued, along with relevant certifications. Effective communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills help professionals convey complex concepts and work efficiently with multidisciplinary teams. These qualifications are crucial for creating accurate process models, optimizing operations, and supporting evidence-based decision-making in industrial environments.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in Process Simulation?

A typical day in Process Simulation often involves developing, testing, and refining process models to optimize manufacturing or chemical processes. You’ll collaborate with engineers, plant operators, and project managers to gather data, validate simulations, and ensure alignment with production goals. Regular responsibilities may include running simulations on specialized software, analyzing results, and presenting findings and recommendations to stakeholders. The role tends to balance independent analytical tasks with team-oriented problem-solving, providing both technical challenges and opportunities for cross-functional communication.

What jobs make $3,000 a month without a degree?

In process simulation or related fields, roles such as manufacturing or industrial technicians, quality control inspectors, or entry-level automation operators can sometimes earn around $3,000 monthly without a degree, especially with relevant technical skills or certifications. Many of these jobs require on-the-job training, familiarity with simulation software, or technical aptitude rather than formal higher education.

Job description

Job Title: Modeling amp; Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger
Location: Huntsville, Alabama
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:
Infinity Labs is an innovation-driven company with world-class expertise in the defense and national security sectors. Infinity provides cutting-edge engineering technologies and solutions, including modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS amp;A), research and development (R amp;D), cyber operational technology, and training. Our extensive project portfolio covers a vast range of physical scales and applications, from materials and components to subsystems, platforms, and systems of systems. We integrate science and systems as part of our overall solutioning approach and we investigate advanced concepts and technologies with disruptive application potential. The sophistication of our work directly reflects the ingenuity and proficiency of our team. Our workforce shapes the future, and our employees are our greatest asset.
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 amp; 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 amp; simulation techniques to support the decision-making process
Additional qualifications for Developer role:
  • Industry experience with C++ development (preferably with C++ 11 or higher)
Education/Credentials:
  • BS or BA degree in a math, physics, or engineering discipline
  • US Citizenship is required for consideration, as this job requires 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
