The AFSIM Simulation Engineer develops, executes, and analyzes physics-based mission simulations using the Advanced Framework for Simulation and Integration Modeling (AFSIM). This role supports mission effectiveness assessments, experimentation, and Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) events by implementing MBSE-derived SysML views (requirements, functional threads, physical architectures, and interfaces) as AFSIM inputs to evaluate sensor-to-shooter kill chains and operational effects, including EMSO-relevant influences.
- Developing, modifying, and executing AFSIM models derived from MBSE SysML artifacts, including mission threads, functional flows, system architectures, and interface definitions
- Analyzing blue vs. red kill chains, system interactions, and mission-level effects across integrated sensor, shooter, and command elements
- Translating MBSE handoff artifacts (requirements allocations, activity diagrams, block definitions, internal block diagrams) into executable AFSIM entities, behaviors, and interactions
- Integrating sensor, RF, EW, weapon, and platform models consistent with MBSE-defined system boundaries, interfaces, and architectural assumptions
- Supporting experimentation, test events, and LVC exercises focused on validating system architectures, mission threads, and kill-chain performance
- Conducting verification and validation of AFSIM models against MBSE-defined assumptions, constraints, and system definitions
- Performing statistical and analytical assessments of mission outcomes and kill-chain performance drivers, producing analysis products that trace back to system design and architecture decisions
- Collaborating with MBSE, LVC, and other modeling and simulation teams to maintain digital thread continuity from SysML models through AFSIM simulations to analysis reports and T&E artifacts
