About the Role
We are seeking a Simulation Integration Specialist to support the integration, validation, and deployment of simulation systems across various test and development environments. This role ensures that simulation elements-including models, software, and hardware-are correctly integrated into our test assets to support the development of next-generation autonomous electric aircraft.
Key Responsibilities
- Integrate, validate, and deploy simulations for multiple applications, including Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) and System-Level simulations.
- Support hardware-software integration and commissioning of simulation and test assets.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to deployed simulation solutions.
- Document and address discrepancies (DRs) in integrated simulation and test assets.
- Ensure accurate configuration control of all integrated simulation and test systems.
- Develop and deploy software fixes for simulation systems as needed.
- Collaborate with internal and external teams to define system requirements and deliver critical simulation solutions.
- Work in an agile environment to support evolving simulation and testing needs.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in hardware/software integration or simulation development.
- Hands-on experience developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills for hardware/software integration.
- Proficiency in C/C and Python for simulation software development.
- Familiarity with multiple communication protocols used in simulation systems.
- Ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
- Excellent organizational, time management, and communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in aerospace or flight simulation domains.
- Knowledge of flight simulation training devices (FSTDs).
- Familiarity with aircraft communication protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429, and ARINC 664.
- Understanding of aircraft avionics, dynamics, and operations.
- Previous experience designing, developing, testing, or certifying integrated simulation and test assets.
- Knowledge in one or more of the following simulation aspects:
- Aircraft Avionics (FMS, TCAS, EGPWS, etc.)
- Aircraft Systems (hydraulics, electrics, pneumatics, etc.)
- Flight Dynamics (aerodynamics, stability, flight controls, etc.)
- Command & Control (C2) and Air Traffic Control systems.
- GPS/Navigation and Communication Systems (ACARS, CPDLC, etc.)
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Self-motivated and eager to take on complex technical challenges.
- Strong problem-solver with a detail-oriented and analytical mindset.
- Excellent communicator who can work with cross-functional teams.
- Adaptable to changing priorities and committed to delivering high-quality results.
- A team player with a collaborative, solution-focused approach.
This is a unique opportunity for a skilled specialist to contribute to cutting-edge simulation development in a rapidly evolving aerospace environment. If you have the expertise and passion for simulation integration, we encourage you to apply.
