GovCIO is looking to solve the problem of designing, running, and sustaining immersive wargaming and simulation activities to support the United States Air Force Academy’s training and educational goals.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience designing and running simulation or wargaming scenarios (military, academic, or commercial).
- Strong scripting and scenario-authoring ability (e.g., scenario editors, scripting languages, telemetry/event logging).
- Experience with data capture, telemetry analysis, and producing after-action reports.
- Familiarity with DIS/HLA or other common simulation interoperability standards.
- Background in military doctrine, operational planning, or joint staff coordination.
- Experience integrating simulation tooling with telemetry/visualization stacks or LMS systems.
- Prior work supporting high-consequence training events or accredited educational programs.
Responsibilities
- Create and maintain training content — design, develop, and version-control immersive wargaming scenarios, world-building assets, scenario files, and after-action materials aligned to learning objectives.
- Operate live simulations — prepare and execute on-site and expeditionary wargames, manage simulation servers/tools, and ensure fidelity of environmental and tactical parameters.
- Facilitate learning — train and coach faculty, instructors, and students on facilitation techniques, play-support, and best practices for learning through simulation.
- Coordinate mission partners — liaise with joint/allied staff and external mission partners to plan and support multi-agency events.
- Design realistic injects & telemetry — author scenario injects, scripts, and instrumentation for telemetry/data capture; validate scenario logic and ensure traceable, reproducible outcomes.
- Manage quality & configuration control — implement version control, backups, and change management so scenarios and data remain repeatable and auditable.
- After-action products — produce structured AAR materials, performance analyses, and recommendations to inform curriculum and operational improvements.
Other
- High School with 10+ years (or commensurate experience)
- U.S. Citizenship due to the nature of the role.
- Clearance Required: None
- Ability to operate in expeditionary or field environments when required.
- Strong interpersonal skills for coordination with faculty, staff, and external partners.
