Responsibilities
Develop, modify, and execute AFSIM models derived from MBSE SysML artifacts, including mission threads, functional flows, system architectures, and interface definitions
Analyze blue vs. red kill chains, system interactions, and mission-level effects across integrated sensor, shooter, and command elements
Translate MBSE handoff artifacts (requirements allocations, activity diagrams, block definitions, internal block diagrams) into executable AFSIM entities, behaviors, and interactions
Integrate sensor, RF, EW, weapon, and platform models consistent with MBSE-defined system boundaries, interfaces, and architectural assumptions
Support experimentation, test events, and LVC exercises focused on validating system architectures, mission threads, and kill-chain performance
Conduct verification and validation of AFSIM models against MBSE-defined assumptions, constraints, and system definitions
Perform statistical and analytical assessments of mission outcomes and kill-chain performance drivers, producing analysis products traceable to system design and architecture decisions
Collaborate with MBSE, LVC, and other modeling and simulation teams to maintain digital thread continuity from SysML models through AFSIM simulations to analysis reports and T&E artifacts
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Operations Research, or related technical field
5+ years of modeling and simulation experience supporting system-level or mission-level analysis
Hands-on experience developing and executing AFSIM models
Strong understanding of mission-level analysis, system architectures, and kill-chain dynamics
Ability to interpret and analyze large simulation datasets and trace results back to system requirements and architecture drivers
Preferred
Experience supporting DoD platforms or hardware-centric mission systems within an MBSE-driven development environment
Experience executing sensor-to-shooter or effects-based kill-chain analysis tied directly to system architecture trades
Experience supporting DoD test, evaluation, or experimentation activities using MBSE-informed scenarios and architectures
Programming experience in Python, C++, or MATLAB
