Simulation Technician

Join ACRWORLD in a challenging role as a Simulation Technician, where you will play a crucial part in managing, maintaining, and configuring simulation systems to support ADF Joint Collective Training (JCT) activities.

As a Simulation Technician, you will work closely with exercise and technical planning personnel, as well as other contractors responsible for network infrastructure, to ensure the successful delivery of simulation effects during distributed training.

• Provide specialized expertise on all simulation applications used by the training branch.
• Operate, instruct, and maintain various simulation applications and models during simulation events.
• Assist in the integration of simulation applications with command and control (C2) systems.
• Support exercise planning staff and technical leads in converting event requirements into simulation design specifications, selecting suitable simulation applications, deploying equipment, and managing simulation applications during simulation-based events.
• Ensure the interoperability of simulation software components essential for simulation-driven events.
• Guide exercise and technical planners in understanding simulation capabilities relevant to military training objectives and the required simulation applications to support these objectives.
• Prepare, monitor, and execute simulation test plans and events through the Simulation Control Cell (SIMCON).

• Prior experience in Application or Customer Support, including hands-on involvement in on-site hardware setup and teardown.
• Exposure to Defence simulation environments and protocols is crucial, and knowledge of military simulation protocols, particularly DIS and HLA, is a significant advantage.
• Be familiar with various military simulation applications like JSAF, JCATS, and others. Proficiency in working within Linux and Windows environments, including the use of administrative tools via both command line and graphical user interfaces, is highly valued.
• A demonstrated, comprehensive understanding of TCP/IP networks, covering areas such as IP addressing, subnetting, connectivity diagnosis, and multicast, is essential.
