What the job involves

• We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives
,
• Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet
,
• We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality
,
• As a Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will work to shape all aspects of our simulation software stack, including framework performance, flight dynamics modeling, hardware emulation, and simulation-based test infrastructure
,
• In your role as Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will lead projects to develop a robust, deterministic, and scalable software simulation framework to accelerate testing of safety-critical systems
,
• You'll work closely with stakeholders, including flight software, guidance/navigation/control, and hardware test engineers to expand our simulation system
,
• Your work will improve the simulation's core architecture, including performance, reproducibility, and flexibility
,
• You'll evaluate and drive key project decisions while mentoring team members to improve their own skills
,
• As a Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you will be part of the Simulation and Test Systems team
,
• The Simulation and Test Systems team is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software
,
• You will work closely with the hardware-in-the-loop test environments, high-fidelity physics simulation stack, and cloud-based Monte-Carlo infrastructure to enable the millions of flight equivalent hours necessary to certify our aviation products
,
• These systems provide fast and accurate feedback on the behavior of our system through a wide variety of flight plans, environmental conditions, and system faults
