What is system dynamics?

A System Dynamics job involves using modeling and simulation techniques to analyze complex systems and predict how they evolve over time. Professionals in this field apply feedback loops, stock-and-flow structures, and computational tools to address challenges in business, policy, healthcare, engineering, and environmental systems. These roles are often found in consulting, research, government, and corporate strategy, where decision-makers rely on dynamic models for long-term planning and optimization. Strong skills in mathematics, systems thinking, programming, and data analysis are essential for success in this field.

What does a system dynamics professional do?

Professionals in System Dynamics spend most of their time developing and analyzing models that represent complex systems such as supply chains, business processes, or environmental systems. Daily responsibilities often include gathering and structuring data, creating simulation models, running scenario analyses, and interpreting results to support decision-making. You’ll frequently collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, present findings to stakeholders, and refine models based on feedback or new information. This role offers a balance between technical analytical work and interactive problem-solving, making strong communication and teamwork skills essential.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in system dynamics?

To thrive in System Dynamics, you need a strong background in systems thinking, mathematical modeling, and analytical problem-solving, often supported by a degree in engineering, mathematics, or a related field. Proficiency in simulation software such as Vensim or Stella, and familiarity with data analysis tools like MATLAB or R, are typically required. Excellent communication, teamwork, and the ability to translate complex models into actionable insights are crucial soft skills. These abilities enable professionals to design, analyze, and optimize dynamic systems effectively across sectors like business, engineering, or environmental management.

Job description

RFA Engineering (www.rfamec.com) is an engineering service provider dedicated to delivering our clients with timely engineering support and expertise. We are seeking a growth-oriented candidate to become an integral part of our engineering team. The selected candidate will work with an experienced engineering staff using state-of-the-art engineering tools & processes. This position will operate onsite at our customer's world-class engineering and manufacturing facility.
This is a full-time position with a full benefit package listed below that includes opportunities for professional growth, direct hire by our customers, and additional opportunities within our own organization.
Job Description
This position requires aptitude in support of Dynamic Systems Modeling (DSM) and analysis as it pertains to whole machine configurations. Through the creation, refinement, and execution of system models, this position will provide analytical support to product development and design.
  • Provide direct analytical support for one or more product groups.
  • Develop a growing understanding of product function.
  • Lead in the development of measurable dynamic performance specifications using simulation and other engineering analysis methods.
  • Work with design teams to develop virtual simulation models that can be used to verify designs analytically.
  • Develop dynamic system analysis plans for specific product development programs.
  • Report results using a standardized reporting system.
  • Document processes that can be used to continually improve our ability to analytically develop and verify our product designs.
  • Contribute to Product and Component Technical Specifications, Design Guidelines, and Engineering Analysis Procedures.

Technical Responsibilities
  • Understand the dynamic interactions of hydraulic systems, linkages, rigid bodies, engines, drivetrains, and control systems.
  • Support the development of robust control strategies for product innovation and differentiation.
  • Use Engineering analysis tools to assess complex hydro-electro-mechanical systems.
  • Maintain models using programming languages and concepts like Object Oriented Programming.
  • Contribute to the specification/selection of components and subsystems for optimal machine level performance.
  • Generate objective machine level dynamic performance objectives that capture ambiguous and/or subjective operator and customer feedback.
  • Support the vision for how analysis tools can change the way Design and PV&V Engineering work is done.
  • Resolve stability issues that can arise from the above, but that cannot be analyzed using linear theory due to the nonlinear nature of both the primitive elements and the subsystem and machine level interactions.
  • Generate mathematical models for previously un-modeled phenomena.
  • Analyze simulation results to distinguish between characteristics of the design and artifacts of the mathematical models.

Requirements
  • Bachelors of Science in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Physics or equivalent degree.
  • Masters of Science with a related concentration in System Dynamics would be ideal.
  • Experience with hydraulics, controls, powertrain, and electrical systems beneficial.
  • Experience with MATLAB, Simscape, Simulink, Simscape Fluids, Simscape Multibody is desirable.
  • Experience in a production environment working with cross functional teams.
  • Experience with operating agriculture equipment or off-highway mobile equipment.
  • Ideal candidate will have 1-3 years of related work experience, but entry level being considered.

Visa sponsorship is NOT available for this position.
Pay Range: $65,000-$90,000 - Commensurate with experience
