Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger

Dayton, Ohio

This position is open for an AFSIM Developer or an AFSIM Analyst. All applicants must meet the general requirements listed below to be considered for either role. Additional requirements specific to the AFSIM Developer role are indicated throughout the description; candidates meeting these additional qualifications will be considered for the Developer role.

Much like your counterparts in the Old West, you are not one to be trifled with. You’re as fearsome as Billy the Kid and as good a shot as Annie Oakley. Your instincts are unrivaled and your brand of justice final. Your weapons of choice; math, multi‑lingual programming languages, and caffeine…lots of caffeine. As AFSIM Gunslinger, your job is to tell customers what the modeling and simulation framework can do, could do, and won’t do.

You should understand the framework architecture so well that others think you invented it or were present when the GOTS tool was born. You should know how to integrate models from other tools and frameworks much like the outlaws of old who used many weapons as part of a greater arsenal. From that knowledge, depth, and breadth of understanding, you’ve gained a reputation as a cold‑blooded developer capable of meeting deliverable times, hunting down and finding complex scripting issues, and sniffing‑out trouble in proposed engineering solutions.

You detest proprietary solutions from other vendors and reject them with great force.

Infinity Labs is an innovation‑driven company with world‑class expertise in the defense and national security sectors. Infinity provides cutting‑edge engineering technologies and solutions, including modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A), research and development (R&D), cyber operational technology, and training. Our extensive project portfolio covers a vast range of physical scales and applications, from materials and components to subsystems, platforms, and systems of systems.

We integrate science and systems as part of our overall solutioning approach and we investigate advanced concepts and technologies with disruptive application potential. The sophistication of our work directly reflects the ingenuity and proficiency of our team. Our workforce shapes the future, and our employees are our greatest asset.

• Configure digital representations of complex military systems to support operational utility, asset vulnerability, system integration, and concept of operations assessments within a synthetic simulation environment.
• Work with domain experts to understand the nuances of specific systems (or classes of systems) and use abstraction techniques to model them at the mission‑level.
• Assemble known information when available and use engineering judgement to fill in the blanks to represent real world hardware, software, or processes used in military operations.
• Manage your time effectively and interface with customers regularly; beyond meeting project milestones, the ideal candidate sees modeling & simulation as a tool to empower decision makers and provides capabilities at the speed of relevance rather than endlessly pursuing “the perfect model”.
• Coordinate with other model specialists and developers to plug capabilities into a greater system‑of‑systems environment used to analyze large‑scale mission vignettes. In the process, you will become a subject‑matter expert in the system types that you model.
• If this position is listed as onsite, you will regularly collaborate with teammates and/or clients in person.

• Modify simulation frameworks to add functionality required to fully assess models and scenarios.
• Develop new software plug‑ins to increase simulation framework capability.

• Minimum 2+ years of experience using the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling…
