Simulation Engineer

NextGen is seeking an experienced AFSIM Scenario Developer to support North American Aerospace Defense Command (N&NC) mission areas through advanced modeling, simulation, analysis, and scenario development. The ideal candidate will be highly proficient in the AFSIM environment and capable of building high-fidelity operational scenarios that support planning, experimentation, and wargaming activities.

Responsibilities

· Build scenarios in the AFSIM software environment that accurately represent N&NC interests and mission areas.

· Support development of Concept Plan (CONPLAN) materials, Table-Top Exercises (TTX), wargames, and select experimentation projects using AFSIM-based modeling and simulation (M&S) products.

· Align all scenarios with core mission areas, including representations of Golden Dome and Border missions.

· Develop realistic representations of space, air, land, and sea platforms, including sensors, communication links, and behavior models.

· Implement Behavior and Agent Modeling (BAM) techniques and utilize Monte Carlo methods for scenario execution.

· Save scenarios, platforms, and related objects in a data repository to ensure standardization and future reuse.

· Develop interfaces for import/export between AFSIM and other software entities

· Document interface designs and produce user instructions.

· Run AFSIM simulations in support of N&NC analysis tasks and overall M&S efforts.

· Build and execute AFSIM scenarios for CONPLAN development, TTXs, wargames, and experimentation projects as tasked.

· Prepare and deliver data outputs, written reports, and briefing products as required by the Government.

Qualifications

· BS or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent technical degree

· 5+ years’ prior work experience in the aerospace or defense industry, with demonstrated AFSIM experience

· Must have an active Top-Secret SCI (TS/SCI) security clearance

· Demonstrated proficiency and experience in the AFSIM development environment.

· Strong understanding of military operations across space, air, land, and maritime domains.

· Experience developing behavior models, agent-based simulations, or Monte Carlo analytical methods.

· Ability to translate government specifications into fully functional AFSIM scenarios and platform models.

· Experience documenting technical interfaces and providing user instructions.

· Ability to produce clear, professional reports and briefing materials.
