Position: Simulator Console Operator (MO-9 SCO)

Client: USAF 25th ATKG

Location: Ellsworth AFB, SD

Job type: Full time

Clearance Required: Top Secret/SCI

Overview:

· Provide real-time MQ-9 Simulator (including Desktop Trainer [DTT] and Distributed Mission Operations [DMO], if applicable) mission support to ongoing simulator missions, including Emergency Procedures, Launch and Recovery, Mission Control Element, Weapons School Spin-up, CT, regular syllabus missions, and VIP and/or guest demonstrations.

· Responsible for loading the appropriately scheduled missions ahead of the arrival of the instructor and student crew scheduled for the simulator, DMO, or DTT, as applicable.

· Maintain an immediate presence during the conduct of the mission to provide real-time tactical adjustments as directed by the instructor or CT crew.

· Provide troubleshooting assistance for maintenance or programming issues that may occur with the simulator, DMO, or DTT.

· Maintain the time-use log for the MQ-9 Simulator and maintain a daily log of simulator discrepancies for coordination with the MQ-9 Simulator manufacturer's representatives on site.

· When MQ-9 Simulators are not fully in use, SCOs will work with Weapons (DOW), Training (DOT), and Current Ops to refine training event dance cards, Zeus, CAVOK (or follow-on tactical situation display [TACSIT]) profiles, and program MQ-9 Simulator training event profiles via the MQ-9 Simulator and Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) or follow-on software.

· Coordinate with instructor aircrew before scheduled MQ-9 Simulator DMO or DTT training events to identify any required voice or mIRC injects for the scenario. As relayed by the Instructor, the SCO may then be required to provide white cell support as one or more of the other players listed in the dance card during the execution of the training event. These roles may include outside agencies, other aircraft, enemy forces, ground forces, or others as deemed necessary by the script or Instructor.

· Support mission debriefs by providing event feedback to instructors, students, and other crew members as required.

· Make real-time adjustments to the tactical scenario based on crew actions.

· Link MQ-9 Simulators together for multi-ship operations.

· MQ-9 SCOs will also operate MQ-9 Simulators on a non-instructional basis to support CT requirements or instruction provided by another instructor. In this capacity, they will provide real-time adjustments based on IP or crew inputs to satisfy mission objectives and replicate external agencies as requested by the IP or crew to create a realistic training environment. Examples include support for continuation training, safety investigation boards, accident investigation boards, Air Force test programs, and distinguished visitors or other guests.
