This is a hands-on role focused on writing C++ code and AFSIM scripting to implement platform behaviors, system logic, and mission scenarios. The position involves developing AFSIM plug-ins and extensions, scripting scenario execution and automation, and building reliable, reusable simulation components for ground, air, space, and multi-domain operations. The ideal candidate has strong C++ and AFSIM scripting skills, experience with Modeling & Simulation, and the ability to translate real-world system concepts into clean, testable simulation software in a mission-focused environment., * Develop and implement AFSIM entities, behaviors, and mission scenarios using C++ and AFSIM scripting to model real-world military systems and operations. * Develop and maintain AFSIM plug-ins and extensions. * Configure mission-level representations of platforms, sensors, weapons, networks, and command and control systems to assess operational effectiveness, system integration, and vulnerabilities. * Collaborate with operational and technical subject matter experts to translate system knowledge, engineering data, and limited or incomplete information into practical simulation models using sound engineering judgment. * Build and integrate capabilities within a larger system-of-systems environment supporting large-scale mission and campaign analysis. * Manage tasks independently, communicate regularly with customers, and deliver usable capabilities on schedule-prioritizing mission value over unnecessary model complexity. * Support model verification and validation, technical documentation, and customer briefings. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Quick guide: How to write a Software Developer CV](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/37-quick-guide-how-to-write-a-software-developer-cv) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
