With over 12 years of experience delivering successful VR/AR experiences for consumer and enterprise markets, including high‑value training solutions for the U.S. Air Force, our work empowers users and delivers impactful products that make a difference. Our company drives all productions both creatively and technologically from start to finish with a culture of creativity, experimentation, and innovation. If you are excited about pushing the limits of gaming, Hollywood VFX, AI, and immersive technologies and want to be part of a passionate team, Specular Theory, Inc. is the place for you. You’ll work on groundbreaking projects, collaborate with top talent, and be at the forefront of industry innovation.

Summary

The Rep Room is Specular Theory’s cutting‑edge virtual reality flight simulation training lab located at the Altus Air Force Base in Altus, OK. It’s part tech studio, part squadron back‑shop where our marquee products—EARL (receiver/tanker scenarios), BART (boom operator), and MATT (headset‑based academics)—stay ready to train for KC‑46, KC‑135, and C‑17 communities. It’s a hands‑on, checklist‑driven environment where clean installs, version control, precisely labeled gear, quick fixes on common issues, and honest feedback that directly improves the product are essential to a successful training room. We run quick‑turn demos, support instructors and students, and turn real‑world input into better training, fast.

What You’ll Do

• Daily readiness: Open and close the lab each day. Administer health checks daily to ensure all stations are ready before training starts.
• Hardware swaps: Set up and replace keyboards, mice, USB hubs, cables, and headsets when directed. Label gear and ensure serial numbers are up‑to‑date.
• Software updates: Install and update software as instructed, ensuring stations are always using the correct version.
• Fix common issues: Troubleshoot video or tracking loss, as well as audio or launcher issues. If the standard steps don’t work, pass it to the right teammate quickly and note what you tried.
• Light reporting: Keep usage, sign‑ins, and check‑outs current. Help gather data that the team can input into weekly status reports.
• Manage shipping and receiving: Handle RMAs and crates. Keep the work area safe and organized.
• Follow security and equipment rules: Use only designated machines and follow labeling and handling instructions.

What You’ll Bring

• Ability to learn training room technology: computers, networking, and equipment.
• Ability to manage the training room and troubleshoot technical issues, as well as respond to inquiries and requests.
• Ability to interact effectively with instructors and trainees.
• Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a team player attitude.
• Able to lift and/or move 40 lbs and work on your feet; eligible for base access.

Nice to Have

• Hands‑on computer experience (desktop support, lab work, AV/VR).
• Experience with Windows 10 and 11 basics: Device Manager, drivers, and simple network tasks (Wi‑Fi, shared folders).
• Familiarity with Varjo headsets, SteamVR/OpenXR, or similar VR tools.
• Experience in training, simulator, or maintenance environments.
• Basic experience with inventory tracking or shipping and receiving.

Certification

• CompTIA Security+ is required within 6 months of start. If you don’t already hold it, Specular Theory will provide training materials and cover up to two exam attempts.

What We Offer

• A creative and collaborative work environment where your ideas are valued.
• Opportunities to work on cutting‑edge VR projects that make an impact.
• Professional growth and skill development in a rapidly evolving industry.
