This person will assist in picking up an ongoing design for a full-motion simulator for the VL60 aircraft, which will be deployed internationally.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead a team of software and systems engineers in design and development activities.
• Develop and manage system requirements, ensuring traceability from concept through verification.
• Design and integrate real-time simulation models (aerodynamics, flight controls, propulsion, and aircraft systems).
• Develop and maintain the system architecture using applications like CAMEO or similar.
• Define the system and its integration, including interfaces with control systems models or data.
• Conduct requirements analysis to elicit, document, and manage system requirements.
• Identify and assess potential risks associated with development and integration, and propose mitigation strategies.
• Participate in test planning and execution to verify and validate the integrated simulation system.
• Support installation efforts, which will require international travel.

Education: A Bachelor's degree or higher in an Engineering field (e.g., Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace) or a relevant technical field is required.

Experience: A minimum of 5 years of experience in systems engineering, with a background in simulation, preferably in avionics or flight simulation. Experience in the DoD space is also beneficial. The role requires design experience.

Technical Skills

• Experience with Windows is preferred; a mix of Windows and Linux is also acceptable.
• Scripting experience with C or C++.
• Proficiency with CAMEO (or similar) and SysML.
• Experience with system architecture development and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Familiarity with network hardware/software, virtualization infrastructure (VMware suite), and Cisco Switch configuration.
• Knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server and Active Directory administration.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with aircraft, avionics, or aerospace control systems.
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python.
• Experience with Extended Reality (VR/AR/MR) development and integration.
