Cubic Global Defense continues to grow in the
central Florida region with multiple contract awards
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE:CUB), today announced the expansion of recruitment efforts
for its Orlando, Florida operations to support the development of
advanced learning products and solutions for the U.S. Navy. During
the past few months, Cubic has been awarded more than $12 million
for the creation and delivery of immersive game-based courseware
for the Littoral Combat Ship. Cubic’s Immersive Virtual Shipboard
Environment (IVSE) capabilities are considered to be in direct
alignment with U.S. Navy’s Ready Relevant Learning initiative.
Cubic’s IVSE is an advanced learning product for the Littoral
Combat Ship training program that puts trainees in a
photo-realistic, 3-D environment to teach various tasks in settings
that are virtually identical to real-life scenarios. To sustain the
expansion of the courseware, Cubic expects to recruit a large
number of positions including learning scientists, instructional
designers, game producers, game developers and software
engineers.
“Our recruiting efforts will allow us to add more talented
individuals to our team,” said Ray Oliver, general manager of
Orlando operations, Cubic Global Defense. “We look forward to
helping create new jobs and meaningful opportunities for the
Orlando community.”
“As we continue to grow and offer our advanced services to our
military and commercial customers across the globe, it’s important
we invest in the right talent to share our vision for the coupling
of learning science and cutting edge technology,” said Andre Balta,
chief technical manager of Cubic Global Defense’s Orlando
operations. “Cubic is at the forefront of integrating seasoned
instructional designers and innovative technologists and we are
excited to expand our staff in these areas.”
Cubic’s Orlando operations includes Cubic Studio, a studio
environment dedicated to the advancement of game-based training in
addition to the more traditional engineering disciplines producing
physical devices and systems. Cubic Studio currently employs more
than 70 industry experts ranging from software engineers, game
producers, 2-D and 3-D artists, game content designers, learning
scientists and systems engineers that develop AAA-quality game
content for its advanced learning products. Cubic’s Orlando
operations currently employees more than 235 personnel.
