MQ-Simulation Scenario Developer​/Training Facilitator

Simulation Scenario Developer/Training Facilitator

The Simulation Scenario Developer/Training Facilitator is responsible for designing, executing, and supporting high-fidelity MQ-9 simulation training in a dynamic, scenario-driven environment. This role supports instructor-led training by developing realistic mission sets, operating simulation systems, and enabling simulation events through role play, control, and scenario management.

• Develop and maintain vignettes within the Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) aligned with training objectives and aviation Training and Readiness (T&R) standards

• Design and execute scenario-based training events including but not limited to Strike Coordination and Reconnaissance (SCAR), Close Air Support (CAS), Indirect Fire (IDF), Unmanned Escort (UESC), and reconnaissance missions

• Configure, initialize, and operate simulation systems prior to and during training events

• Facilitate simulation execution by managing scenario flow, injects, and overall training objectives

• Role-play as controlling agencies, higher headquarters, and friendly aircraft using voice communications and Internet Relay Chat

• Provide real-time simulation support to instructors and aircrew to ensure effective training progression and mission realism

• Ensure all simulation events align with current tactical doctrine and aviation standards

• Assist in refining and improving training scenarios, mission flow, and simulation fidelity

Requirements:

• Prior experience (5+ years) with unmanned systems, preferably MQ-9, RQ-21, or similar aviation platforms

• Strong understanding of USMC Aviation training and readiness standards

• Working knowledge of the six functions of Marine Corps aviation with experience supporting mission sets including SCAR, CAS, IDF, UESC, and reconnaissance

• Experience operating within simulation environments such as Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) or similar systems

• Familiarity with simulation software and image generators such as Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) or equivalent visual systems

• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, scenario-driven training environment

• Experience supporting training environments or working alongside instructors

Preferred Qualifications and Core Competencies:

• Qualified Weapons Training Officer or equivalent tactical leadership experience

• Prior experience in simulation-based training, scenario development, or mission planning

• Background in unmanned aviation operations or tactical employment

• Experience role-playing command and control agencies, aircraft, or mission support elements during training events

• Strong tactical knowledge and mission planning ability

• Ability to translate operational experience into realistic training events

• Effective communication across multiple agencies and participants

• Ability to manage scenario execution with minimal supervision

• High attention to detail in both scenario development and simulator support

Education:

• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required.

Conditions Of Employment:

• Must be a US Citizen.
• Must be determined suitable for federal employment.
• Must participate in the direct deposit pay program.
• You will be required to obtain a final US SECRET security clearance prior to beginning work. Failure to obtain and maintain the required level of clearance may result in the withdrawal of a job offer or removal.
• Successful completion of a pre-employment drug test (including marijuana) may be required. A tentative offer of employment will be rescinded if you fail to report to the drug test appointment or fail the test. You will be subject to random testing.
