Simulation Support Specialist

H2 Analytics

18h•$70,000 - $120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

H2 Analytics is a mission-focused technology company that redefines how intelligence specialists train and modernize. They partner with military, national security, law enforcement, and other mission-driven organizations to improve readiness at speed and scale. The company's flagship platform, EASE, simplifies the creation of synthetic intelligence environments for training and experimentation, integrating with LVC simulation systems like JCATS, VBS, and CPE. These systems are powerful but complex, requiring a blend of technical aptitude and operational understanding. The Simulation Support Specialist will help bridge the gap between operational military concepts and technical execution, ensuring simulation scenarios produced for EASE accurately reflect real-world equipment, organizations, and tactical doctrine. The role involves building and running military simulation scenarios to support EASE-based training, contributing to high-fidelity synthetic environments by configuring entities, equipment, and behaviours within simulation platforms. The specialist will support internal delivery teams and project managers in translating training objectives into working simulation setups and ensuring outputs are usable within EASE. Over time, direct client engagement may occur to refine scenarios, but the core focus will be on building and executing simulations that accurately reflect real-world operations. The ideal candidate enjoys hands-on problem-solving, has an interest in how military systems and operations are represented in simulation, and is motivated by contributing to meaningful, mission-driven work.

Requirements

Relevant experience, preferably in a defence/military environment.
Foundational understanding of global military equipment, organizational hierarchies (ORBATs), and operational doctrine.
Experience interpreting client training needs and translating them into technical simulation parameters.
Experience manipulating data structures to represent entities and equipment accurately within a software environment.
Experience working effectively within a project team, supporting project managers and contributing to shared outcomes.
Eligible to obtain (or hold) a Government of Canada Level III (Top Secret) security clearance.
Able to support clients on-site as required.
Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to translate between operators and technical teams.

Nice To Haves

Understanding of distributed simulation communication protocols (e.g., DIS, HLA).
Military experience in specific domains such as Air, Land, Sea and Space.
Live in or be willing to relocate to Ottawa or Kingston. Other locations will be considered.

Responsibilities

Help build and run military simulation scenarios that support EASE-based training.
Contribute to the creation of high-fidelity synthetic environments by configuring entities, equipment, and behaviours within simulation platforms.
Support internal delivery teams and project managers, helping translate training objectives into working simulation setups.
Ensure outputs are usable within EASE.
Engage directly with clients to better understand their requirements and refine scenarios (over time).
Construct and run simulation scenarios aligned with defined training objectives and operational context, including modeling military equipment and individual entities.
Guide clients through EASE/Simulation implementation, ensuring they understand platform capabilities and entity behaviours.
Assist clients in refining training architectures and simulation-based methodologies to improve outcomes.
Capture field lessons and performance data to inform product development and workflow improvements.
