- Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) solutions
- Customer product training solutions
- Monte-Carlo simulation analysis
- Simulation and Test data analysis tools and processes
- Design, develop, deploy, and maintain HITL simulation infrastructure for complex aerospace systems, including real-time vehicle models, avionics emulation, and sensor simulation environments
Job requirements
- Bachelor's Degree or higher in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or related technical discipline
- Senior Modeling Simulation Engineer: 8 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience
- Modeling Simulation Engineer: 3 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience
- Experience with aerospace/aeronautical systems (including rotorcraft/VTOL) and/or Subsea vehicles
- Experience in flight dynamics/platform physics and control
