About the Role:
We are seeking a Simulation Integration Specialist contractor to ensure that simulation systems are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets located in Mountain View and Fremont. These include, but are not limited to:
- Real-time, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and System-Level simulations
- Avionics Hardware and embedded software development activities
- Aircraft Systems development activities
- Ground Segment development activities
- Evaluation and Validation of simulated aircraft performance
The goal of the Simulation Integration Specialist is to ensure that all simulation elements (models, software, hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications to enable the development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment. You will be part of the Simulation Integration group responsible for developing, deploying, and supporting an integrated simulation capability for the enterprise.
Key Responsibilities:
- Integrate, validate, and deploy advanced simulations for a diverse set of applications.
- Support all hardware-software (model, rehost, retarget, LSAP) integration and commissioning activities for integrated simulation and test assets.
- Investigate and troubleshoot deployed simulation solutions, particularly on integrated simulation and test assets.
- Document and disposition discrepancy reports (DRs) raised against the integrated simulation and test assets.
- Ensure accurate configuration control of integrated simulation and test assets.
- Develop and deploy simulation software fixes as appropriate and feasible.
- Cultivate and develop departmental expertise with simulation integration.
- Collaborate with internal and external customers to identify simulation system/test asset requirements, plan milestones, and deliver critical simulation solutions to support product development.
- Work with agile teams to ensure that the needs of internal and external stakeholders are met.
- Travel to onsite locations to support the commissioning and sustainment of the integrated simulation and test assets as required.
Qualifications:
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline with 10+ years of relevant experience.
- Minimum 5 years of combined experience in hardware/software integration and/or hands-on experience developing complex aircraft/aerospace simulations on Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTDs).
- Experience developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.
- Proficiency with software development, preferably using C/C++, Python, Matlab/Simulink.
- Experience with aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429, and/or ARINC 664.
- Familiarity with common techniques of debugging hardware/software integrations.
- Familiarity with aircraft avionics, aircraft dynamics, and aircraft operations.
- Strong troubleshooting skills.
- Creative approach to problem-solving.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Desired:
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.
- Prior experience with the design, development, test, and certification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) or integrated simulation and test assets, preferably as an Integration Specialist.
- Prior experience with the modeling, stimulation, and/or integration of at least one of the following aspects of aerospace-related simulation:
- Aircraft Avionics (FMS, EGPWS, WXR, TCAS, etc)
- Aircraft Systems (pneumatics, electrics, hydraulics, etc)
- Aircraft Flight Dynamics (aerodynamics, stability, flight controls, etc)
- Command and Control (C2) links
- Air Traffic Control Systems
- Communication Systems (ACARS, CPDLC, etc)
- GPS/Navigation Systems
