Simulation Software Engineer

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality. As a Simulation Software Engineer, you will work to shape all aspects of our simulation software stack, including framework performance, flight dynamics modeling, hardware emulation, and simulation-based test infrastructure. As a Simulation Software Engineer, you will be part of the Simulation and Test Systems team. The Simulation and Test Systems team is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software. Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.

Responsibilities

Lead projects to develop a robust, deterministic, and scalable software simulation framework to accelerate testing of safety-critical systems; Work closely with stakeholders, including flight software, guidance/navigation/control, and hardware test engineers, to expand the simulation system; Improve the simulation's core architecture, including performance, reproducibility, and flexibility; Evaluate and drive key project decisions; Mentor team members to improve their own skills; Shape all aspects of the simulation software stack, including framework performance, flight dynamics modeling, hardware emulation, and simulation-based test infrastructure

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent experience; Industry experience in simulation systems within aviation, automotive or comparable environments; Professional experience in object oriented C++ and Python (or other scripting languages)
