Simulation Modelers create computer simulations to examine complex systems in order to make predictions and inform decisions. This role combines mathematics, computer programming, and domain expertise to simulate real-world scenarios, such as the spread of a disease, the behavior of a new product, or the effects of climate change. Simulation Modelers work in various industries, including healthcare, finance, engineering, and manufacturing.
