Job description

The Simulation Technician provides high-level technical expertise and physical execution for all high-fidelity manikin-based and task-trainer simulation events at major campus hubs. This role ensures the flawless operation of simulation spaces, audio-visual technology, and medical equipment. In a matrixed shared-services deployment model, this position functions under a dual-reporting framework. While reporting administratively to the centralized Director of Simulation and SP Programming, the Technician operates under the direct functional, day-to-day programmatic supervision of the local Program Director (or designated program faculty) during the planning, dry-running, and execution of program-specific curricular events to satisfy programmatic staff adequacy and autonomy standards (e.g., ARC -PA Standards A2.11 and A2.12).

Position Responsibility & Independent Judgment Statement

The Simulation Technology Specialist operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to exercise independent judgment and discretion on matters of operational and educational significance to the university’s academic programs.

• Operational & Administrative Autonomy: Independently evaluates multi-campus program needs to formulate and execute logistical strategy, resource allocation, and travel schedules without direct day-to-day oversight. Determines project priorities, work hours, and site deployment to ensure seamless program execution.
• Stakeholder Collaboration & Logistics Design: Serves as a primary operational liaison to program partners, advising academic leadership on logistics, exam flow design, and simulation space utilization to optimize educational outcomes.
• Standardization & Policy Implementation: Develops, implements, and enforces standardized operating procedures and safety protocols for simulation technology and laboratory environments across all designated campus locations.
• Technical & Instructional Consultation: Evaluates simulation technologies, recommends capital acquisitions, and collaborates with faculty to design and adapt technical setups to meet complex curricular goals.
