Job description

MTSI is seeking a skilled AFSIM (Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling) Developer/Analyst to design, implement, and analyze mission-level simulations supporting advanced DoD systems and CONOPS development. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience extending AFSIM through scenario scripting, high-fidelity subsystem modeling, analytic workflows, and C++ plugin development. This role involves building and integrating complex models for sensors, weapons, communications, and decision logic into scalable simulation architectures to evaluate system performance and mission effectiveness., * Architect, develop, and maintain AFSIM models, plugins, and simulation components to support advanced mission-level analyses.

  • Develop custom AFSIM behaviors, algorithms, and decision models (tasking logic, autonomy, federated multi-domain behaviors, etc.).
  • Integrate external data sources (threat models, performance data, signatures, environmental models) to improve simulation fidelity.
  • Analyze simulation results and extract actionable insights and recommendations to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and subject matter experts to define simulation requirements and scenarios.
  • Integrate new capabilities, algorithms, and data into AFSIM models to enhance simulation fidelity.
  • Document simulation processes, methodologies, and results in technical reports and presentations.
  • Support briefings and discussions with customers and stakeholders.

Requirements

  • US citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance (if not already held)
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
  • 3+ years hands-on experience developing AFSIM models, scenarios, and plugins.
  • Familiarity with modeling and simulation principles including discrete-event simulation, stochastic modeling, Monte Carlo techniques, and scenario-based experimentation.
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as C++, Python, or similar.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills., * Master’s degree in a technical field.
  • Experience modeling military platforms, RF systems, weapons, C2 networks, orbital mechanics, or EW effects.
  • Familiarity with other simulation tools or frameworks (e.g., MATLAB, STK, or similar).
  • Knowledge of data visualization and analysis tools.

Benefits & conditions

Why Join Us?

  • Work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to mission-critical projects.
  • Join a collaborative, high-performing team of engineers and analysts.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
