We are looking for an Aerospace Simulation Engineer to join a high-impact engineering team supporting advanced aerospace programs. In this role, you will lead the development, integration, and validation of high-fidelity simulation environments, with a strong focus on flight dynamics & controls and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. You will work closely with systems, avionics, and flight test teams to ensure simulation fidelity meets program requirements and reduces risk throughout the vehicle development lifecycle.

What You'll Do:

• Model Development:

+ Design and implement high-fidelity simulation models for aircraft systems (e.g., hydraulics, avionics, propulsion, environmental control).

+ Translate system requirements into simulation architecture.

• Requirements Analysis:

+ Collaborate with systems engineers to define simulation objectives based on technical requirements.

+ Identify key parameters and test cases to ensure model accuracy

• Integration & Testing:

+ Integrate simulation models into the test lab, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups.

+ Validate and verify models against real-world data and test results.

+ Support system testing with simulation-based scenarios and data

• Troubleshooting & Support:

+ Diagnose and resolve simulation performance and integration issues.

+ Provide technical support during system-level testing and certification

• Collaboration & Documentation:

+ Work with software, hardware, and systems teams for seamless integration.

+ Maintain documentation of model design, assumptions, limitations, and test results.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace simulation/modeling.
• Proficiency in simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink or Modelica.
• Familiarity with aircraft systems and operational principles.
• Experience with HIL testing and real-time simulation environments.
• Familiarity with Github and software management in a revision controlled environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills in a collaborative setting.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

• Knowledge of DO-178C, DO-160, or other aerospace standards.
• Knowledge of ARINC protocols.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, C++) for automation.
• Exposure to flight simulators or pilot-in-the-loop testing

Salary Range: $130,000-$155,000/K

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
