Job description

At MLT, we create solutions by empowering our people to fulfill their passion for service. In support of Program Manager Advanced Amphibious Assault, we are seeking a Vehicle Maintenance Instructor with experience in supporting the New Equipment Training (NET) efforts for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) and Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV).

Responsibilities:

Serve as a Vehicle Maintenance Instructor, providing instruction on the operation of vehicle systems, subsystems, and equipment controls. Implement and evaluate training that covers diagnostic test execution and interpretation, removal and installation of major components, malfunction determination, isolation and location of faults in Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), replacement of defective LRUs, troubleshooting and repair of system and subsystem issues, and performance of routine preventive maintenance tasks. Review course curricula, lesson plans, student guides, and audio-visual aids, providing recommendations for improvement as needed. Deliver instruction related to the ACV Family of Vehicles (FoV) and its associated training systems.

Conduct maintenance actions on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV), including Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), inspection, repair, and other procedures per field-level maintenance manuals, references, and instructions. Support the maintenance and operator training programs and adapt to incorporate additional operator functions as the ACV-Recovery (ACV-R) variant becomes active. Maintain assigned instructional materials, update training content as required, and complete all related administrative tasks in support of the repairer/technician curriculum.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree preferred
• At least six (6) years of relevant experience
• Familiarity with AAV and/or ACV operations; proficient in Microsoft Office Products; strong attention to detail; provide proof of completion of the Marine Corps Instructor Development Course (IDC) or equivalent; read, write, speak, and comprehend the English language, including technical language and terms associated with the operation, operator maintenance and field level maintenance of Ordnance Vehicles and associated communications and data systems.

Specific/Preferred Requirements:

• Be physically capable of conducting the actions required to mount, dismount, evacuate, and egress during vehicle operations. Personnel whose duties require embarkation upon an ACV performing water operations shall be qualified in the Submerged Vehicle Egress Trainer. Prior to training in the SVET, personnel must complete a Physical Employment Physical, complete SVET Medical Screening Form, and possess a current Marine Corps Water Survival (MCWS) – Basic qualification (i.e., MCWS qualification must be less than 2 years prior to SVET training). Qualification in the SVET requires a 4-hour period of classroom academic instruction that introduces procedures on how to safely egress from a sinking or submerged vehicle. The classroom academic instruction is followed by a practical application using the Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET) and the SVET. The SWET is an individual seat-type device used prior to, and in conjunction with, SVET to introduce water submersion, basic disorientation by inversion, use of compressed air, and the proper techniques to egress. SWET training introduces students to a situation of being inverted while wearing safety belts or harnesses in the water so the student can use training received in the classroom to complete the SVET practical application. Once inverted in the water, the student must use problem-solving skills to maintain control and implement an egress plan as trained. The SVET simulates the submersion, rolling over, and sinking of an AA Vehicle to allow students to apply and demonstrate the tactics, techniques, and procedures learned in the classroom instruction and SWET to safely egress from the vehicle.

While conducting SVET training, the student will be exposed to a stressful environment that includes a sudden descent into water on a simulated vehicle platform, underwater submersion, unexpected rotational forces while submerged, reduced air supply, high intensity exercise (swimming while egressing), sensory deprivation, disorientation, and breathing compressed gas. This training is not recommended for those individuals that have cardiac or pulmonary disease, limited range of motion of limbs, recurring joint pain, hydrophobia, claustrophobia, anxiety, panic attacks, or other medical disability that could be exacerbated by this training.
