SAIC is looking to improve flight training platforms by designing, implementing, and testing proof of concepts for remote instruction capabilities, creating an immersive and interactive training experience, and applying data science techniques to flight telemetry data for training analysis and decision-making.
Requirements
- Solid understanding of software development principles, algorithms, and data structures.
- Proficiency in TypeScript, NodeJS, Python, with experience in developing software applications or simulations.
- Experience with data handling and analysis of flight telemetry or time-series data.
- Familiarity with data visualization frameworks and tools (e.g., Plotly, D3.js, Matplotlib, Power BI, or Tableau).
- Familiarity with real-time communication protocols (e.g., WebRTC, RTP/RTCP) and network programming concepts.
- Experience with machine learning or statistical modeling applied to simulation or performance data is a plus.
- Experience with 3D graphics programming (Unreal Engine) and virtual reality (VR) technologies is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Collect, process, and analyze flight telemetry and training data to generate insights that enhance system performance and student outcomes.
- Develop data pipelines and tools for integrating telemetry data with simulation environments, machine learning models, and advanced analytics.
- Implement advanced visualization techniques and dashboards to provide instructors and trainees with intuitive, real-time insights into flight performance and training progress.
- Develop software modules and features to enable real-time communication, data streaming, and interaction between instructors and trainees during remote training sessions.
- Integrate external APIs, protocols, and hardware interfaces to support interoperability with flight simulation hardware and software components.
- Collaborate with QA engineers to ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of the remote instruction features through comprehensive testing and validation.
- Provide technical support and assistance to pilots, instructors, and customers during the testing and evaluation phases of the proof of concept.
Other
