THE WORK
This position is for a level 2 Test Technician within Production Operations for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Pilot Training Device (PTD) product line of flight simulators, including the Full Mission Simulator (FMS), the Modified Mission Rehearsal Trainer (MMRT), and the Deployable Mission Rehearsal Trainer (DMRT), as well as the Training Infrastructure System (TIS). We integrate deliverable hardware and deliverable software during production testing in our Orlando facility and then deliver the advanced Pilot Training Devices to our customers at their US and international locations. We take pride in our work because we know that pilots gain proficiency in our flight simulators that directly translates to effectiveness when they operate the F-35 aircraft in real-world tactical situations.
