Defense simulation and trainer manufacturing with legacy system modernization
AVT Simulation designs, integrates, and manufactures training systems for military rotorcraft and ground platforms, with a tech stack anchored in CAD/PLM (Autodesk Vault), project tracking (Jira), and cost management (Deltek CostPoint). The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward mid-level engineers, with manufacturing and ops roles filling out the team—reflects active work on simulator redesigns and production optimization rather than pure software expansion. Pain points cluster around manufacturing efficiency, configuration management compliance, and cycle-time reduction, indicating operational maturity challenges typical of hardware-software integration businesses.
AVT Simulation is a Small Disadvantaged Business based in Orlando, Florida, providing end-to-end modeling, simulation, and training solutions for military aviation and ground platforms. Founded in 1998, the company operates across engineering consulting, simulator re-hosting and upgrades, visual database development, software engineering, and manufacturing of rotary-wing trainers and Apache gunnery systems. Customers are primarily U.S. Department of Defense branches seeking both new training system design and legacy platform technology refresh. The company's product portfolio spans air, ground, and sea platform training solutions, with active projects focused on improving simulator design manufacturability, subsystem integration, and test documentation.
Core tools include Autodesk Vault (CAD/PLM), Jira (project tracking), Deltek CostPoint (cost management), Visual Studio, C/C++/C#, Python, Go, and Ruby. Visual design work uses Adobe and Autodesk; requirements management via Jama Connect and Confluence.
The company manufactures reconfigurable rotary-wing collective trainers and the Apache Gunnery Trainer (AGT), alongside re-hosting and upgrading legacy military simulators for training air, ground, and sea platform operators.
