Assistant Simulation Technician
University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) Butaro, Rwanda
Job Title: Assistant Simulation Technician
Reports to: Simulation & Immersive Technologies Engineer Department: Center for Transformative Learning Technologies (CTLT)
Location: UGHE Butaro Campus, Burera District, Rwanda
Role purpose:
UGHE is seeking an Assistant Simulation Technician to support day-to-day technical operations of the Simulation & Skills Center and to provide dedicated technical support for simulation projects, including simulator operations, audiovisual capture, maintenance, troubleshooting, and end-user support for faculty and site-based instructors.
Responsibilities:
Offsite simulation support
Support deployment and set-up for in-situ simulation activities at project sites.
Train and provide on-the-job support to faculty and site-based instructors on safe use of simulation equipment, basic troubleshooting, and equipment care/handling.
Maintain the simulation equipment in “ready-to-deploy” condition through routine checks (power, cables, manikin function, consumables, connectivity, audiovisual tools).
Troubleshoot simulation equipment-related issues (hardware/software failures, accessories, and connectivity) and coordinate escalation to the Simulation & Immersive Technologies Engineer as needed.
Sim Capture management:
Co-lead (with the Simulation & Immersive Technologies Engineer) the operational management and day-to-day use of SimCapture at the UGHE Simulation Center and, where applicable, during the in-situ sessions.
Prepare the SimCapture system prior to sessions, including confirming network readiness, required hardware connections, and functionality of audiovisual inputs/outputs.
Support faculty with SimCapture workflows: session access, starting/stopping recordings, supporting debriefing workflows, user account support, and assisting with scenario set-up/editing and basic reporting, escalating complex technical issues to the team as needed.
Ensure secure handling, storage, and appropriate access to simulation recordings and related data, consistent with UGHE processes and data protection expectations for video/audio recordings and user information.
Simulation Lab Operations & Session support:
Work closely with the Simulation and Immersive Technologies Engineer to:
Set up simulation rooms for teaching activities (simulators, task trainers, supplies, and audiovisual equipment) and ensure readiness before each session.
Provide in-session technical support to simulation faculty, including running pre-programmed scenarios and operating simulator software and related technologies.
Support scheduling logistics (equipment booking, sign-out/sign-in, movement tracking) and ensure smooth day-to-day operations in the simulation space.
Preventive Maintenance, Inventory, Procurement & Documentation
Maintain a high standard of lab safety, cleanliness, safe storage, and appropriate disposal of simulation equipme...
