Position Overview

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

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.


Key Responsibilities

AFSIM Development and Simulation Architecture

  • Lead the design, development, and implementation of custom AFSIM solutions to support mission analysis and system evaluation.
  • Develop and extend custom models, behaviors, and plugins within AFSIM to meet evolving mission requirements.
  • Architect and execute complex simulation scenarios supporting Electronic Warfare, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations, and multi-domain operations.
  • Integrate AFSIM with other modeling and analysis tools, such as STK, NGTS, Builder, or other mission-level frameworks.

Technical Leadership and Stakeholder Support

  • Serve as a technical lead for AFSIM-based efforts, providing guidance to junior engineers and analysts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align modeling efforts with system requirements and operational objectives.
  • Analyze simulation outputs and provide actionable insights, technical reports, and briefings to government stakeholders.
  • Communicate with government stakeholders in support of technical and mission objectives.

Programming, Automation, and Systems Engineering

  • Apply programming expertise, including Python, C , or similar languages, to support automation, data processing, and tool integration.
  • Support model-based systems engineering activities where applicable.

Qualifications:

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field.

Experience

  • 5 years of experience in modeling and simulation, with direct AFSIM development experience.
  • Proven ability to develop and customize AFSIM models, not only execute simulations.
  • Experience serving in a team lead or technical leadership capacity.
  • Experience supporting DoD programs, ideally within Electronic Warfare, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations, or intelligence domains.

Skills

  • Strong programming skills, such as C , Python, or similar languages.
  • Strong engineering judgment and hands-on AFSIM development expertise.
  • Ability to lead small teams and interface directly with government stakeholders.
  • Ability to work on-site in Crane, Indiana and collaborate in a classified environment.

Certifications

  • Must be willing to obtain Security certification within 60 days of start.

Clearance

  • Minimum TS clearance is required.

Preferred 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 such as SysML, Cameo, or MagicDraw.
  • Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
