How much do simulation operator jobs pay per year?
What are the typical daily responsibilities of a simulation operator?
Simulation Operators are generally responsible for setting up, running, and monitoring simulation scenarios, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring all equipment and software function correctly. They may also collaborate closely with instructors, trainees, or engineering teams to customize or adjust simulations to meet specific training or testing objectives. Documentation and reporting on simulation outcomes or technical issues are part of their routine, and maintaining or updating simulation systems is often required. This hands-on role offers exposure to cutting-edge technology and opportunities to develop both technical and collaborative skills in a supportive team environment.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the simulation operator position, and why are they important?
To thrive as a Simulation Operator, a strong background in computer systems, attention to detail, and an understanding of simulation procedures are essential, typically supported by relevant technical training or a degree in information technology or engineering. Experience with simulation software platforms, troubleshooting hardware, and certifications such as CompTIA or vendor-specific credentials are highly valued. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication help Simulation Operators excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments. These skills are crucial for accurately running simulations, supporting end-users, and ensuring seamless operation essential to effective training or system evaluation.

- Develop enhancements, resolve defects, and optimize FIAB software performance within distributed or realtime simulation architectures.
- Integrate FIAB capabilities with other JSE and nonJSE platforms across synthetic training and test environments.
- Assist with accurately documenting, reporting, and tracking deficiencies related to FIAB and JPP components.
- Collaborate with Government stakeholders, pilots, and missionsystems SMEs to support reliable, highfidelity synthetic testing and training capability.
- 5 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 3 years relevant experience with Masters in related field; 0 years experience with PhD or Juris Doctorate in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 9 years relevant experience.
- Experience in software development and software design.
- Professional experience supporting or integrating 5thgeneration fighter mission systems, avionics, sensor fusion, LO behaviors, or synthetic environment representations (F22 and/or F35).
- Experience integrating complex software systems or simulation components in distributed or realtime environments.
- Ability to modify, debug, and troubleshoot C++ and/or Python source code within simulation frameworks.
- Experience working with software interfaces, middleware, plugins, APIs, or data models used to connect simulation components.
- Proficiency working in a Linux commandline environment.
- Strong communication, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Demonstrated strong work ethic and initiative to troubleshoot, address, and prevent problems on complex technical systems.
- Current or active Top Secret clearance within the last 24 months.
- Ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI and SAP/SAR clearances.
- Software development experience with FIAB source code (F22 and/or F35) or JSE Platform Plugin code.
- Experience integrating simulation software with external systems, sensors, networks, missionsystems models, or other platform components.
- Experience with Joint Simulation Environment (JSE), LiveVirtualConstructive (LVC), or DoD synthetic training systems.
