Simulation Team Leader

Role Overview

You will be responsible for the development of flight simulators for eVTOL. The development of flight simulators is becoming increasingly important for the development and subsequent operation of eVTOL, which are now on the verge of commercialization. You will be leading the development of the engineering flight simulators to support the aircraft development and its certification.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for the leadership of the eVTOL flight simulator development project, managing project scope, progress, and quality.
• Flight Simulator Design and Development: design and develop the simulator architecture and functionality, starting with the definition of flight simulator requirements.
• Continuous Improvement of Simulation Technology: Keeps an eye on the latest technology and best practices to improve flight simulation technology.
• Develop team members: Support team members in their technical growth and development
• Communicate with stakeholders: Regularly update stakeholders on the development process and progress, and receive feedback as the project moves forward.
• Technical Risk Management: Identify technical risks associated with the project and mitigate them with appropriate countermeasures.

Job Highlights

The eVTOL is the most advanced development in the world, combining "technology for flying" and "power electronics". To achieve this goal, our various teams, including flight controls, avionics, electrical/power systems, and flight sciences in collaboration with our test pilots, are working in unison to advance the project. We are confident that you will be able to fully demonstrate your abilities and participate in this world-leading activity, which you will not be able to experience anywhere else.

Computer based simulation has become an essential element of modern aircraft design to provide a robust, optimized, and safe vehicle for flight crews and passengers. SkyDrive has opted to develop its simulation capability in support of the design, testing and certification of its aircraft. You will play a pivotal role in this cutting-edge capability.

We offer an environment where you can expand your knowledge and skills by providing innovative software solutions to the company’s aircraft simulation testing needs.
