If candidate does not already possess these certifications, training and certification exam will be provided for the right candidate. Security Must currently hold, or be eligible for, and be able to maintain a US Secret clearance ## Description The Training Systems Integrator is a member of the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) Integrated Systems Division (ISD) engineering staff in support of the Navy Training Baseline (NTB), Navy Training Systems, and the NCTE. ISD provides systems engineering solutions for the integration of NCTE live, virtual and constructive simulation technologies in support of US Fleet Forces' (USFF) and the Numbered Fleets' training and certification requirements. USFF and the Numbered Fleets conduct synthetic training and mission certification events between pierside ships, underway ships, virtual training systems and training centers during Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) events. The Training Systems Integrator performs engineering and project management activities to deliver integrated solutions for distributed simulations and training systems operating within the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE). A Surface Training Systems integrator provides focused engineering support to ensure Navy Surface Training systems are interoperable with the NCTE., * Leads integrated project teams (IPTs) and performs technical project management tasks involving integration of simulations and/or training systems into the NCTE. Schedules, prioritizes and deconflicts work with consideration for other division responsibilities. Informs other engineering functions within the organization (i.e. networks, operations, information assurance, software engineering) ensuring awareness of all implications of integration events to the NCTE. * Supports requests for information from NCTE engineering resources in cases where integration work requires development of additional software or other functionality in NCTE core simulations (e.g. JSAF, JBUS applications) or services. * Maintains familiarity with the NCTE Interoperability Standard (NIS). As such, provides advice and guidance to external simulation/training system engineers to foster development of systems that are compliant with NCTE standards and function correctly within the NCTE. * Periodically provides technical support and troubleshooting to the NCTE Event Technical Lead during operational events. Technical support includes coordination with other engineering resources as required to correct or work around the problem to ensure training success. * Represents the division at the NCTE Interoperability Working Group (IWG) for all domain-related aspects. ## Related Videos - [Wolfenstein 3D Postmortem](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/525-wolfenstein-3d-postmortem) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Debunking the Top 10 Myths about Web 3](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/634-debunking-the-top-10-myths-about-web-3) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer)
