E01-J01 AFSIM Software Engineer-Architect

Support Army Aviation modernization efforts through development and integration of advanced MS&A capabilities utilizing AFSIM as part of an integrated digital environment (IDE).

Assist Government engineers in transitioning legacy ATCOM models, data, and analytical workflows into AFSIM-based architectures.

Design, develop, test, and maintain software and hardware components as part of the IDE supporting mission-level simulations, operational analyses, and aviation experimentation.

Applying AI/ML and other algorithms, develop Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) compliant software modules, plugins and reusable simulation components within AFSIM and other tools. Ensure scalability of software and the IDE.

Collaborate within-house and external government engineers and subject matter experts to model Army Aviation platforms, sensors, weapons, communications, electronic warfare systems, threat environments, aircraft survivability and operational behaviors.

Support development of manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) and launched effects scenarios and emerging Army aviation operational concepts including implementation in the MS&A environment.

Participate in mission engineering and mission effectiveness analyses

Develop and maintain simulation scenarios supporting concept experimentation, mission analysis, and capability development.

Participate in software architecture, code reviews, configuration management, and Agile software development activities.

Integrate new capabilities into the new IDE MS&A environments while ensuring interoperability between Government-directed simulation tools.

Troubleshoot software and hardware issues, optimize simulation performance, and improve model fidelity.

Support verification, validation, accreditation, and configuration control activities for AFSIM and other simulation and analysis models and software components to attain and retain Authorization to Operate within the IDE.

Analyze simulation outputs and communicate technical findings through reports, presentations, and engineering documentation.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including systems engineers and architects, software developers, information technology specialists, military analysts, aviators, and operational users.

Support prototype development, experimentation events, and technology demonstrations in support of Army Aviation capability development.

Maintain familiarity with emerging Army Aviation concepts, Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiatives, and evolving operational requirements.
