Jtac Operator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

LMR Technical Group (LMR) is seeking a JTAC Simulator Operator to join our team.

Location: Hurlburt Field, FL

Job Description:

The Simulator Operator is responsible for operating, supporting, and sustaining JTAC simulation capabilities that directly enable AFSOC training and readiness. This is a mission-facing operations and training role, not a generic IT support position. The Simulator Operator must be able to operate all aspects of currently fielded JTAC simulator systems, support instruction across the training continuum, develop and maintain squadron CAS simulator scenarios, support LVC and DMO events, and conduct basic troubleshooting and maintenance actions required to keep systems mission capable.

This position supports the AFSOC JTAC program by combining technical simulator proficiency with a working understanding of JTAC operations and training outcomes. The Simulator Operator is expected to help enable IQT, MQT, CT, and upgrade training while ensuring simulators remain functional, current, and aligned with supported unit needs. The role includes accomplishing minor software updates, loading databases, creating scenarios, replacing line replaceable units, running scripted software or queries, documenting issues, and notifying the service company and Government leadership of simulator deficiencies within required timelines. The position also supports broader JTAC duties identified in the PWS and may participate in functional meetings, focus groups, and JTAC SIMCERT-related working groups.

The successful candidate must be able to transition quickly into the supported unit, complete required certification and proficiency milestones, and operate in a controlled military environment with strong attention to security, accountability, and mission effect. The Simulator Operator must complete IAT Level I certification within the required timeframe, attain proficiency with the assigned simulator, and adhere to the JTAC-Instructor requalification timeline identified in the PWS.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Operate JTAC simulator systems, including currently fielded platforms such as JTC-TRS, DT-100, HAVIC, and newly fielded accredited JTAC simulators.
• Support JTAC instruction across IQT, MQT, CT, and upgrade training events.
• Implement unit-provided simulator scenarios and develop and maintain squadron CAS simulator scenarios.
• Conduct minor software updates, load databases, run scripts or queries, and replace line replaceable units as directed.
• Perform basic troubleshooting when simulator systems malfunction.
• Document and report simulator issues to the simulator service company and Government leadership within 72 hours of discovery.
• Support LVC and DMO training and exercises as required by the supported unit.
• Provide JTAC, JTAC-Instructor, and JTAC-Evaluator-related support as required by the PWS.
• Maintain simulator status inputs and utilization data for monthly reporting.
• Comply with security, OPSEC, safety, and unit access requirements at all times.

• Working knowledge of U.S. military command and control structures.
• Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English.
• Ability to obtain and maintain all security requirements identified in the DD-254 for the supported site.
