Job description

The Amatriot Group is seeking a Senior AFSIM Engineer to support Modeling & Simulation (M&S) efforts in support of a US Navy program. This role is focused on developing, customizing, and leading AFSIM-based solutions in support of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO).

This is not a user-level role-the ideal candidate will serve as a technical leader, driving the development of advanced simulation architectures, custom models, and mission-level analysis capabilities. The position requires strong engineering judgment, hands-on AFSIM development expertise, and the ability to lead small teams and interface directly with government stakeholders., * Lead the design, development, and implementation of custom AFSIM solutions to support mission analysis and system evaluation.

  • Serve as a technical lead for AFSIM-based efforts, providing guidance to junior engineers and analysts.
  • Develop and extend custom models, behaviors, and plugins within AFSIM to meet evolving mission requirements.
  • Architect and execute complex simulation scenarios supporting EW, EMSO, and multi-domain operations.
  • Integrate AFSIM with other modeling and analysis tools (e.g., STK, NGTS, Builder, or other mission-level frameworks).
  • Analyze simulation outputs and provide actionable insights, technical reports, and briefings to government stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align modeling efforts with system requirements and operational objectives.
  • Apply programming expertise (Python, C++, or similar) to support automation, data processing, and tool integration.
  • Support model-based systems engineering (MBSE) activities where applicable.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in modeling and simulation, with direct AFSIM development experience.
  • Proven ability to develop and customize AFSIM models (not just execute simulations).
  • Experience serving in a team lead or technical leadership capacity.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related technical field.
  • Strong programming skills (e.g., C++, Python, or similar).
  • Experience supporting DoD programs, ideally within EW, EMSO, or intelligence domains.
  • TS minimum clearance.
  • Must be willing to obtain Security+ certification within 60 days of start.
  • Ability to work on-site in Crane, IN and collaborate in a classified environment.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • Deep familiarity with AFSIM architecture, scripting, and plugin development.
  • Experience integrating AFSIM with mission-level or constructive simulation environments.
  • Knowledge of electronic warfare, RF systems, or spectrum operations.
  • Experience with MBSE tools (e.g., SysML, Cameo, MagicDraw).
  • Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

MUST HAVES
