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 high‑fidelity 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.
