Job summary

Worldscape is seeking an AFSIM Modeler/Software Engineer in Redmond, WA, with hands-on experience in developing or modifying AFSIM models and simulation scenarios. You will design and implement models for aircraft, weapons, sensors, and EW systems, and extend simulation capabilities through software tools.

You will work at the intersection of simulation, software engineering, and aerospace systems, translating requirements into robust models, debugging complex behavior, and improving fidelity

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on AFSIM experience, including developing or modifying models and scenarios.
• Strong software development skills in C++, Python, or a similar programming language.
• Experience building or working with simulation models, ideally involving aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomous systems, or other complex technical systems.
• Ability to read and understand existing code and simulation architectures and make meaningful modifications independently.
• Experience debugging complex software or simulation behavior and systematically identifying the underlying cause.
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including version control, testing, debugging, and code quality.
• Ability to translate real-world system behavior and technical requirements into software and simulation models.

Responsibilities

• Develop, configure, and maintain AFSIM models and simulation scenarios representing complex aerospace and defense systems
• Design and implement models for aircraft, weapons, sensors, communications, electronic warfare, and other mission systems
• Develop software, scripts, and tooling to extend AFSIM capabilities and automate simulation workflows
• Build reusable modeling components and infrastructure that can support multiple simulation scenarios and use cases
• Translate system requirements, technical specifications, and operational concepts into robust simulation models
• Integrate models and software components into larger simulation environments
• Run simulations, debug model behavior, investigate unexpected results, and improve model fidelity and performance
• Develop automated workflows for scenario generation, simulation execution, data collection, and results processing
• Analyze simulation outputs to validate model behavior and identify opportunities to improve the underlying implementation
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, systems engineers, and subject‑matter experts to ensure models accurately represent real‑world systems
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, testing, and documentation
• Help establish best practices for AFSIM development, testing, version control, and reusable model architecture
