The center of gravity for this role is the scenario itself. You will design and build VBS4 missions that meet real training objectives, supported by geospatial data and open source research.\nWe are looking for creative, outside-the-box thinkers who can approach ambiguous mission problems from unconventional angles, connect disparate information, and develop practical solutions when the answer is not immediately obvious.\nYou will work in VBS4 daily. Prior VBS experience is highly preferred, but we will invest in training the right candidate who brings strong simulation, geospatial, and OSINT fundamentals.\nWe hire for demonstrated skill, not years on a resume. If you can show us strong scenario work, terrain builds, or OSINT products (through professional experience, military service, academic projects, or community and mod work), we want to see it.\nWhat You Will DoScenario development (primary focus)\nDesign, build, and maintain VBS4 scenarios: entity placement, mission logic, triggers, and AI behaviors\n\nTranslate customer training objectives and subject matter expert input into executable operations\n\nIterate on scenarios with instructors and training audiences to sharpen training value\n\nTerrain and geospatial data\nSource, process, and prepare geospatial data (satellite imagery, elevation models, vector layers) for use in VBS4 terrain\n\nRefine and validate terrain so it supports scenario and training requirements\n\nOSINT supportMay be required to conduct open source research (imagery, mapping platforms, public reporting) to ground scenarios in real-world conditions: order of battle, patterns of life, infrastructure, and environmental detail\nAcross all of it\nSupport customer product development, exercise events and simulation enhanced products\n\nValidate content quality through structured testing and QA passes\n\nDocument workflows, data sources, and scenario libraries for reuse and auditability\n\nTools and Technologies You Will TouchYou will not need every tool on day one. Depth in a few, plus the aptitude to pick up the rest, matters more than shallow familiarity with all of them.\n\nSimulation: VBS4 (scenario and mission editor, VBS Geo), with growth into Blue IG and Mantle and related OneArc tooling\n\nGeospatial: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Pro, Global Mapper, ERDAS Imagine or ENVI, SOCET GXP\n\nOSINT: Maltego, i2 Analyst's Notebook, Sentinel Hub and Planet imagery platforms, OpenStreetMap and collaborative mapping, flight and maritime tracking platforms, archival and verification tooling\n\nRequired Qualifications\nActive DoD Secret security clearance at time of hire, TS eligibility preferred\n\nHands-on experience building missions or scenarios in a simulation environment with a mission editor (VBS4 or VBS3 ideal; Arma series or comparable military simulation platforms also qualify)\n\nWorking knowledge of GIS fundamentals and at least one major toolset (ArcGIS Pro or QGIS)\n\nComfort with common geospatial data formats such as GeoTIFF, shapefile, DTED, and KML/KMZ\n\nApplied OSINT skills that support scenario realism: source discovery and evaluation, geolocation techniques, and basic imagery analysis\n\nFamiliarity with military terminology, unit structures, or operational concepts\n\nStrong written communication and documentation habits\n\nAbility to travel up to 25% to customer locations\n\nThere is intentionally no years of experience line above: we evaluate candidates on demonstrated capability. Relevant military service, internships, academic work, and community scenario or modding work all count.\nPreferred Qualifications\nHighly preferred: hands-on VBS4 experience, including the scenario and mission editor (strong VBS3 experience also valued)\n\nVBS4 scripting experience or exposure to the VBS SDK and APIs\n\nExperience with terrain generation pipelines and tools (VBS World Server, VBS Geo, TerraTools, or similar)\n\nPython scripting for geospatial workflows (GDAL, GeoPandas, or arcpy)\n\nRemote sensing or photogrammetry coursework or experience\n\nPrior military, intelligence community, or defense contractor background\n\nExposure to LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) training environments and interoperability standards such as DIS or HLA\n\nExperience supporting live exercises or distributed training events\n\nPreferred CertificationsNone of these are required. They are common credentials in the geospatial, OSINT, and simulation career fields, and we weigh them as a plus alongside demonstrated work.\n\nCompTIA Security+ or equivalent (the DoD 8140 baseline, relevant where privileged access to government systems is required)\n\nGIAC Open Source Intelligence (GOSI) or a comparable OSINT tradecraft certification\n\nUSGIF Certified GEOINT Professional (CGP) credentials\n\nEsri technical certifications, for example ArcGIS Pro Associate\n\nGISP (Certified GIS Professional) for candidates further along in their careers\n\nCompletion of official Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) VBS training courses\n\nShow Us Your WorkApplications that include work samples receive priority review. Useful examples:\n\nVBS4 or VBS3 scenario files, screenshots, or capture video\n\nArma series mission or mod work (the editing skills transfer directly)\n\nGIS or terrain projects: maps, processed datasets, or terrain builds\n\nOSINT products such as geolocation write-ups or open source research summaries\n\nEducationA bachelor's degree in GIS, Geography, Intelligence Studies, Computer Science, Modeling and Simulation, or a related field is a plus, not a gate. Equivalent skill demonstrated through military service, professional work, or a strong portfolio is fully acceptable.\nWork Environment and Travel\nPrimarily remote within the United States; some work may take place at customer or government facilities as program needs require\n\nTravel up to 25% to customer sites and exercise events\n\nResidence in the greater Miami, Florida area is preferred to support periodic team and customer engagements\n\nWhy Join OneArc\nDirect mission impact: the content you build supports U.S. Government and partner nation personnel for real-world operations\n\nA defined growth path from scenario development into terrain engineering, VBS scripting, or analysis tracks\n\nOneArc is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
