Candidates must be able to work in person; remote work is not available for this position.\nPosition Summary\nWe are seeking a hands-on Junior Systems Engineer to help build, integrate, test, field, and support training and simulation systems that combine computer hardware, electronics, software, displays, controls, sensors, communications interfaces, and other simulator components.\nThis is a simulator systems integration and support position - not an IT help-desk, network-administration, or purely software-development role. The successful candidate will be comfortable working at the boundary between hardware and software: tracing signals and data, using diagnostic equipment, replacing or configuring components, supporting software loads, and determining whether a problem originates in hardware, software, cabling, configuration, or an external interface.\nThe Junior Systems Engineer will work alongside engineers, technicians, instructors, and end users in laboratory and field environments. The role requires practical problem-solving, clear documentation, and the ability to support systems through assembly, integration, acceptance testing, operation, maintenance, and repair.\nKey Responsibilities\nSupport the assembly, configuration, integration, installation, checkout, and maintenance of training and simulation systems.\nIntegrate computers, electronic assemblies, displays, operator controls, sensors, input/output devices, audio/video equipment, communications interfaces, power distribution, cabling, and simulation software.\nTroubleshoot complete simulator systems and isolate faults to hardware, software, firmware, cabling, power, configuration, data, or interface causes.\nUse schematics, wiring diagrams, interface-control documents, system drawings, technical manuals, logs, and diagnostic data to investigate problems.\nUse common electronic and computer test equipment, such as digital multimeters, cable testers, oscilloscopes, logic or protocol analyzers, and manufacturer diagnostic tools, as applicable.\nInstall, configure, update, and validate operating systems, drivers, firmware, simulation applications, databases, and software releases that are part of the simulator baseline.\nPerform functional testing, integration testing, acceptance testing, regression testing, and verification after repairs or configuration changes.\nSupport live training events, demonstrations, customer acceptance activities, and field service visits; respond to operator-reported discrepancies and restore systems to service.\nDocument system configurations, interfaces, test results, maintenance actions, failure analysis, corrective actions, and known issues.\nAssist with technical refreshes, component substitutions, obsolescence issues, and upgrades while maintaining compatibility with the approved system configuration.\nCoordinate effectively with engineers, technicians, vendors, instructors, and customers to resolve multidisciplinary system issues.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in systems engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering technology, or a related technical field; equivalent directly relevant experience may be considered.\nHands-on academic, military, internship, or professional experience assembling, integrating, testing, maintaining, or troubleshooting equipment that combines hardware and software.\nWorking knowledge of computer hardware, electronic components, peripheral devices, cables and connectors, power supplies, and basic electrical/electronic troubleshooting.\nAbility to read and use schematics, wiring diagrams, block diagrams, technical manuals, and system/interface documentation.\nExperience using a digital multimeter and other appropriate diagnostic or test equipment.\nFamiliarity with Windows-based systems, device drivers, software installation, configuration files, and basic command-line or log-based diagnostics.\nBasic understanding of Ethernet and serial communications as simulator interfaces. Networking knowledge is useful for system integration, but enterprise network administration is not the focus of this role.\nAbility to troubleshoot methodically, work safely around energized equipment, document findings clearly, and follow configuration-control processes.\nAbility to communicate professionally with technical teams, operators, and customers and to work effectively in laboratory and field environments.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building or supporting military, aviation, vehicle, weapons, industrial, virtual, constructive, or hardware-in-the-loop training or simulation systems.\nExperience with simulator operator stations, instructor/operator stations, visual systems, control loading, motion systems, cockpit or vehicle controls, sensors, instrumentation, or real-time input/output.\nExperience performing field service, depot repair, equipment installation, acceptance testing, or customer-site technical support.\nFamiliarity with real-time systems, distributed simulation, DIS, HLA, serial protocols, CAN bus, USB, Ethernet, or other equipment interfaces.\nExperience with LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, C#, Python, scripting, or similar tools used to test, interface with, or support physical systems.\nExperience with configuration management, maintenance records, issue tracking, test procedures, and technical documentation.\nMilitary electronics, avionics, fire-control, vehicle-maintenance, simulator, or training-device experience is highly valued.\nWork Requirements\nAbility to work on and around simulator equipment, including bending, kneeling, reaching, and accessing equipment racks or enclosed spaces.\nAbility to lift and move equipment or components weighing up to 50 pounds, with assistance when appropriate.\nTravel will be required for installation, integration, testing, training events, and customer-site support.\nOccasional after-hours support may be required during scheduled exercises, test events, or critical system-restoration activities.\nThe position may require eligibility to access controlled or sensitive technical information and customer facilities, depending on program requirements.\nDisclaimer\nThis description summarizes the general nature and level of work associated with the position. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of every responsibility, duty, qualification, or working condition. Employees may be assigned additional duties or special projects based on operational and business requirements.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6579,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Continuing Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T17:32:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.356,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T21:39:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33890,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3854385},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3854385"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fot-training-solutions-junior-systems-engineer-simulation-development-and-support"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3242834}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ottrainingsolutions.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3242834},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
