Job Description

READY FOR A CULTURE SHOCK? With a relaxed dress code, flexible scheduling, and an approachable senior management team who are open to hearing your feedback: we’re not your traditional corporate culture. Operating more like a family than a small business, we’re continually looking for ways to help our employees, as well as provide a great work environment.

Every day, we get to work doing the same thing as the day before: making the training for our military faster, better, and cheaper. It was true at the inception of AVT Simulation and it’s just as true today.

Our mission is what drives us to do everything possible to get more effective training to those who need it the most. We do that by building a talented, diverse team that makes a positive impact on our company and our work.
