About The Position

JT4 SkillBridge Program - Operations Pilot Internship About SkillBridge JT4 is partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense's SkillBridge Program, which is designed to provide internship opportunities to transitioning military personnel during their final 6 months of service, thus preparing them for a full-time civilian position once they separate. Note: This opportunity is open to transitioning military members only. Non-service members will not be considered for this position. JT4's SkillBridge Operations Pilot Internship is a unique 16-week opportunity for transitioning service members to obtain thorough OTJ (on the job) training from JT4's top technical SME's. During the internship, the service member will be provided a training plan outlining weekly tasks and goals to be accomplished. The goal of the internship is to prepare the transitioning service member for a full-time Operations role at JT4. Some examples of required duties and responsibilities are outlined below. NOTE: While the program is designed to prepare the service member for a full-time, civilian position, JT4 has no obligation to hire the intern on full-time or to continue the internship if it is determined that the intern does not meet expectations. About JT4 JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges. FULL-TIME POSITION: JOB DUTIES & ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS An Operations Pilot performs a variety of engineering assignments in planning and overseeing research, design, development, manufacturing, testing, installation, integration, sustainment, operation, and maintenance of diverse software, electronic, and/or mechanical equipment and systems.

Perform control room functions, including role-playing for constructive air assets, to support test and training exercises. Assist in developing test planning, test conduct, test processes, test reports, operational procedures, data deliverables, and safety packages. Simulation Support: Configure the battle space, perform post-test reconfigurations, and prepare the virtual environment with customer-defined threat laydowns. Develop and implement threat configurations, System Under Test (SUT) configurations, and weapons configurations. Operate and act as a flyer/operator within the simulation environment to support verification and validation. Training and Mentorship: Instruct, mentor, and demonstrate to fellow flyers and engineers the threat system, operations, sensor systems, communication and navigation systems, and Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI). Modeling and Simulation: Provide modeling and simulation support for the development, upgrade, operations, and integration of constructive, real-time, and virtual piloted simulators. Support the flying quality, airframe, propulsion, avionics, sensors, weapon, and electronic warfare mission areas. Engineering Support: Provide operations engineering support for test planning working groups, design reviews, and other related testing activities.
