Mission Integration Specialist

Summary

OneArc develops mission-focused training and simulation solutions for U.S. Government and partner nation customers. The company is seeking a Mission Integration Specialist to design and maintain realistic VBS4 scenarios, process geospatial data, and apply OSINT to support training objectives. The role also involves customer product development, quality assurance, documentation, and travel to customer locations.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain VBS4 scenarios: entity placement, mission logic, triggers, and AI behaviors
• Translate customer training objectives and subject matter expert input into executable operations
• Iterate on scenarios with instructors and training audiences to sharpen training value
• Source, process, and prepare geospatial data (satellite imagery, elevation models, vector layers) for use in VBS4 terrain
• Refine and validate terrain so it supports scenario and training requirements
• May 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
• Support customer product development, exercise events and simulation enhanced products
• Validate content quality through structured testing and QA passes
• Document workflows, data sources, and scenario libraries for reuse and auditability

Skills

• * Active DoD Secret security clearance at time of hire, TS eligibility preferred
• * Hands-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)
• * Working knowledge of GIS fundamentals and at least one major toolset (ArcGIS Pro or QGIS)
• * Comfort with common geospatial data formats such as GeoTIFF, shapefile, DTED, and KML/KMZ
• * Applied OSINT skills that support scenario realism: source discovery and evaluation, geolocation techniques, and basic imagery analysis
• * Familiarity with military terminology, unit structures, or operational concepts
• * Strong written communication and documentation habits
• * Ability to travel up to 25% to customer locations
• * Primarily remote within the United States; some work may take place at customer or government facilities as program needs require
• * Travel up to 25% to customer sites and exercise events
• Clearance: Active DoD Secret clearance required at time of hire (U.S. citizenship required)
• Location: Remote (U.S.), residence in the greater Miami, Florida area preferred
• * CompTIA Security+ or equivalent (the DoD 8140 baseline, relevant where privileged access to government systems is required)
• * GIAC Open Source Intelligence (GOSI) or a comparable OSINT tradecraft certification
• * USGIF Certified GEOINT Professional (CGP) credentials
• * Esri technical certifications, for example ArcGIS Pro Associate
• * GISP (Certified GIS Professional) for candidates further along in their careers
• * Completion of official Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) VBS training courses
• Equivalent skill demonstrated through military service, professional work, or a strong portfolio is fully acceptable
• * Highly preferred: hands-on VBS4 experience, including the scenario and mission editor (strong VBS3 experience also valued)
• * VBS4 scripting experience or exposure to the VBS SDK and APIs
• * Experience with terrain generation pipelines and tools (VBS World Server, VBS Geo, TerraTools, or similar)
• * Python scripting for geospatial workflows (GDAL, GeoPandas, or arcpy)
• * Remote sensing or photogrammetry coursework or experience
• * Prior military, intelligence community, or defense contractor background
• * Exposure to LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) training environments and interoperability standards such as DIS or HLA
• * Experience supporting live exercises or distributed training events
• Residence in the greater Miami, Florida area is preferred to support periodic team and customer engagements
• Active DoD Secret security clearance at time of hire, TS eligibility preferred
• A bachelor's degree in GIS, Geography, Intelligence Studies, Computer Science, Modeling and Simulation, or a related field is a plus, not a gate
