Staff Simulation Engineer

What you will do:

• You will take part in conducting simulation and analysis to support aircraft design and certification activities.
• You will support SIL, HIL, and flight operations activities in debugging test anomalies and issues.
• You will help support problem solving activities by taking ownership of features and designing new simulation framework capabilities.
• You will help coordinate and evaluate modeling and simulation results with other teams' SMEs; obtaining a high level of familiarity with our vehicle’s avionics, software architecture, GNC algorithms, and the simulation framework’s analysis tools.
• You will take part in deploying parallelized simulation and analysis capabilities at scale in an HPC environment.
• In some areas, you will be working closely with such teams as, stability & control, power, thermal, and systems engineering to verify requirements that help satisfy aircraft certification objectives. 
• You will plan and develop new time and frequency domain flight analysis and post-processing tools using software architecture best practices.
• As a Senior Staff Simulation Engineer, you will help implement new models in our simulation engine using first principles, empirical data, and system identification techniques.
