• Develop and maintain training materials, presentations, exercises, and user guides.

• Experience developing instructional materials and conducting hands-on software demonstrations.
• Strong communication, presentation, and classroom management skills.
• Ability to troubleshoot common software issues during training.
• Ability to travel as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with HPAC, JEM, or similar modeling and simulation applications.
• Experience training military or government personnel.
• Familiarity with CBRNE hazard modeling, atmospheric dispersion, or consequence assessment.
• Experience with defense modeling and simulation systems.
• Knowledge of military training environments and instructional practices.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who enjoys teaching people how to use complex software. Successful candidates may come from technical software training, simulation training, application support, or instructional technology backgrounds.

Previous CBRNE experience is valuable, but this position is focused on teaching the operation and practical application of HPAC and JEM software, rather than conducting general CBRNE response or field training.
