- Proficiency with modern software systems, including C/C , Python, Linux, Git.
- Direct experience designing 6DOF motion systems and/or control loading systems.
- Field experience with aircraft testing.
- Piloting knowledge of fixed-wing and/or rotary-wing aircraft.
Responsibilities
- Development of aircraft test plans and on-site data collection support.
- Post processing of aircraft test data and preparation of simulator verification data roadmaps.
- Design of simulator motion and control loading systems.
- Development of aircraft motion and flight control simulation math models, and software to execute these models in real-time.
- Integration of simulation models with simulator hardware, computers, software, and other simulated systems.
- Preparation of simulator qualification test guides and acceptance test procedures.
- Participation in domestic and international simulator acceptance and qualification events with customers, military organizations, and commercial regulatory agencies.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree required in Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
