Hermeus is seeking a Senior Software Simulation Engineer to develop and deploy real-time simulation environments for the design, verification, and validation of aerospace flight control and avionics systems for high-speed aircraft.
Requirements
- Expertise in MATLAB, Simulink, Simulink Coder, and/or Embedded Coder.
- Experience with real-time simulation platforms (dSPACE, Speedgoat, OPAL-RT, NI VeriStand, or equivalent).
- Understanding of flight dynamics, control systems, and aircraft system modeling.
- Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g. ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN bus, Ethernet).
- Competence in C/C++, Python, or automation scripting for simulation and test automation.
- Knowledge of DO-178C/DO-331 processes for model-based software development and verification.
- Experience with flight control system development or verification.
Responsibilities
- Configure simulation models for real-time execution and deterministic performance on aerospace-grade SIL/HIL platforms.
- Conduct model validation and correlation against analytical models, flight data, or hardware test results.
- Generate optimized C/C++ code from Simulink models for real-time targets.
- Integrate generated code into real-time simulation environments.
- Implement real-time execution tuning (fixed-step solvers, scheduling, data exchange) to meet aerospace system timing constraints.
- Design and implement HIL simulation testbeds that interface with flight control computers, sensors, actuators, and communication buses.
- Configure I/O mapping and signal conditioning for aerospace interfaces such as ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN bus, Ethernet, etc.
Other
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and technical documentation ability.
- Attention to detail and commitment to safety-critical standards.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary aerospace engineering teams.
