You must be a US citizen, eligible for a security clearance, and willing to relocate to the local area for this application.

We are a modeling and simulation organization, establishing the Digital Test and Training Ranges (DTTRs). the ranges of the future — a high‑fidelity digital synthetic environment designed to accelerate development of 5th‑-and 6th‑generation platforms and their advanced weapon systems through modern digital engineering practices. The DTTRs enable high‑tempo training, mission rehearsal, and dense multi‑threat scenarios across air, land, and sea domains, with active expansion into space and cyber. This environment allows warfighters and developers to rehearse complex missions and evaluate system performance under realistic, repeatable conditions.

At the core of the DTTRs is the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) — a government‑owned, physics‑based simulation suite capable of modeling simultaneous interactions between manned aircraft simulators and thousands of virtual friendly and adversary entities. JSE provides the digital battlespace required to test, validate, and refine next‑generation capabilities at scale. As an IT Specialist, you will play a key role in the information assurance, configuration automation, and deployment of JSE within the DTTRs, helping advance the fidelity, performance, and operational reach of this mission‑critical environment.

Desired Skills:

• 2+ years of Ansible experience
• 2+ years of network administration and services
