About The Position

Valiant is seeking a Full-Time skilled Computer Operator II to report directly to the Lead Operator(s) to join our team! The Computer Operator II performs the functions of Dedicated Operations Support (DOS) on the F/A-18 or E/A-1 BG training devices. This role involves performing the initial start-up and preparation of the flight simulator for daily training, installing initial conditions for training events as published on the training schedule, and operating and controlling the trainers throughout scheduled training events. The operator must be able to respond to instructor direction regarding scenario development and may be utilized for multi-ship missions. Responsibilities include communicating with Blue forces during simulated training scenarios and deviating from published initial conditions at the direction of the instructor.

This position requires working any shift and weekends as specified by contract, and performing other tasks as assigned by management.
