JMSC-P JLVC Database Technician – SECRET Clearance required
About The Position
Make meaningful contributions that fuel critical outcomes for some of the most complex government, defense, and intelligence projects. Join GDIT and the Joint Multinational Simulation Center - Pacific (JMSC-P) as a Terrain and Database Technician for a career where your growth is just as important as the mission you support. Build high-fidelity simulation databases that accurately represent operational environments and support realistic collective training environments. Apply simulation database standards, feature characterization, terrain attribution, and environmental data to ensure accurate representation. Translate unit training requirements and operational scenarios into customized terrain and database products that enhance training realism. Create simulation databases with accurate operational data, entities, infrastructure, environmental features, and other scenario-specific information. Conduct comprehensive data validation, trouble shooting, and corrective actions to ensure simulation fidelity. Assist with data formatting and import/export operations across all simulation platforms. Refine terrain and database products based on exercise feedback, after-action reviews, and evolving training objectives. Willing to learn, work as part of team, and as an individual with minimal guidance. Participate in other projects as required.
