Training Systems Integrator
Purpose:Valkyrie Enterprises has an immediate need for an
Training Systems Integrator in Norfolk, VA.The Training Systems Integrator is a member of the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) Software and Systems Engineering (SSE) - Integrated Systems Team (IST) in support of the Navy Training Baseline (NTB), Navy Trainers, and the NCTE. The SSE-IST provides systems engineering solutions for the integration of NCTE live, virtual and constructive simulation technologies in support of US Fleet Forces (USFF) and the Number Fleets training and certification requirements. USFF and the Numbered Fleets conduct synthetic training and mission certification events between pierside ships, ships underway, virtual trainers and training centers during Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) events.The Training Systems Integrator performs engineering and project management activities in order to provide integrated solutions for distributed simulations and trainers operating within the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE).Job Description:
Functions as the lead integration engineer for projects involving integration of simulations or trainers within the NCTE. Responsible for all scheduling aspects and de-conflicts against all other SSE-IST related responsibilities. Keeps all other engineering functions within the organization (i.e. networks, operations, information assurance, and software development) and is informed of all implications of the integration event to the NCTE.Leads, via an Integrated Project Team (IPT), NCTE software development resources in cases where integration work requires additional software functionality in NCTE core simulations (e.g. JSAF, JBUS).Familiar with the NCTE Interoperability Standard (NIS) and as such, provides advice and guidance to external simulation/trainer engineers so they are able to create systems that function correctly within the NCTE.Periodically fills the role of technical lead in support of specific training exercises. In this role, the Integration Engineer is the liaison between the NCTE M&S Operations Event Lead and the engineering department and is responsible for identifying and responding to simulation problems, notifying leadership of issues and coordinating with engineering resources to correct or work around the problem in order to ensure training success.Represents the NCTE Interoperability Working Group (IWG) for all domain related aspects.Qualifications:
