Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger

Job Title: Modeling & Simulation Specialist | AFSIM Gunslinger Who You Are 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. Who We Are At Infinity Labs, we don’t settle for incremental gains—we make bold leaps, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our culture thrives on innovation, where creativity fuels action, and inspiration sparks breakthroughs. We don’t just embrace calculated risks; we see them as essential steps toward groundbreaking discoveries. We're on a mission to become the epicenter of transformational, multidisciplinary, system‑of‑systems technology solutions, strategically aligned with the National Defense Strategy. But our vision isn’t just about technology—it’s about you. Our structure and benefits are designed to protect your future and unleash your full potential. Join us if you're ready to make a real impact and redefine the future. What You’ll Do 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. You must be able to manage your time effectively and interface with customers regularly. In addition, beyond simply meeting project milestones and deadlines, 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 specialist 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. Additional Responsibilities for Developer Role Modify simulation frameworks to add functionality required to fully assess models and scenarios. Develop new software plug‑ins to increase simulation framework capability.
