Engineer II – Simulation

Engineer II – Simulation

Requirements

• Typically requires a minimum of 1-2 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.
• Experience developing and delivering a simulation framework for internal or external customers
• Solid fundamentals in math and physics
• Experience with C++ 11 or newer in a production environment
• Experience with Linux, git, command line tools, etc.
• Experience with Matlab and Simulink
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.
• You have a demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others.

Responsibilities

• Port residual Simulink models for aircraft dynamics, engine models, aerodynamic models, etc. to C++
• Add unit tests for any newly written C++ code / models
• Manage the lifecycle of the models (improvements, etc.)
• Validate the models against live flight data
• Improve documentation for all models
• Integrate C++ models into existing build, software-in-the-loop simulator and processor-in-the-loop simulator – removing dependencies on Matlab and S-Function
• Help improve and validate all GUI interfaces with the simulation
• Scale simulation into CI pipelines
• Help scale our simulations by implementing Docker containers

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and/or containerized application development
• Experience with physics-based implementations of forces and moments using numerical methods, differential equations, etc.
• Familiarity with rigid body dynamics (e.g. Euler’s equations, quaternions), aerodynamics, propulsion systems, etc.
