Part Time F-16 Instructor Pilot - 28288
About The Position
This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS). Mission Technologies’ Global Security (GS) group comprises live, virtual, constructive (LVC) solutions; fleet sustainment; nuclear and environmental; and Australia business. As a trusted partner to our military customers, HII designs, develops and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle. With advanced technologies to enable mission readiness, HII understands that preparation requires full coordination—not readiness in piece-parts. For more than 40 years, the U.S. Navy has entrusted HII to maintain and modernize the vast majority of its fleet. With a holistic approach to life-cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness. HII supports the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country. HII meets clients’ toughest nuclear and environmental challenges. HII Mission Technologies is seeking an experienced Part-Time F‑16 Instructor Pilot to deliver realistic adversary air tactics training in support of Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) aircrews. Based at Homestead ARB, this role involves employing advanced red‑air tactics in the F‑16 Mission and Tactics Trainer (MTT), supporting simulated engagements, mission planning, and high‑fidelity training exercises. You will also contribute subject matter expertise in tactics, simulator operations, and debriefing processes to directly enhance pilot combat readiness. This role matters because it strengthens ANG and AFRC pilot combat preparedness through immersive synthetic training, applies real‑world F‑16 experience to high‑impact red‑air simulation, supports development of threat‑representative training scenarios that sharpen blue‑force performance, enhances national defense capabilities through advanced tactical training, and contributes to a culture of mentorship, realism, and tactical excellence among operational aircrews.
