About the role
You will be one of the core engineers on our flight simulation capability, building the simulator framework from the ground up. The simulator will underpin system verification and validation, test and evaluation campaigns, and pilot-in-the-loop studies across the program. You will own significant portions of the software stack and work daily with flight controls, avionics, vehicle systems, autonomy, human factors, and hardware teams.
What they're looking for
- 3-6 years of experience in flight simulation, real-time systems, robotics simulation, or high-fidelity simulation software development
- Proven experience building simulation software or frameworks from the ground up
- Strong proficiency in C++ for real-time, performance-critical development
- Working knowledge of flight dynamics and physics modelling fundamentals, including 6-DOF equations of motion and numerical integration
- Proficiency in Python for test automation, simulation tooling, and data analysis
- Experience with middleware and inter-process communication such as ROS/ROS2, DDS, or equivalent
