What you'll do:

  • Design and build simulation environments for integrated labs, HILs and SW benches used in aircraft validation and verification
  • Own the tools and interfaces for the labs, optimizing workflows and ensuring configuration management and traceability that supports certification and regulatory requirements
  • Integrate third-party software and hardware systems into simulation architectures, collaborating closely with internal teams and suppliers
  • Develop and optimize simulation pipelines with CI/CD integration for automated deployment, execution, and monitoring
  • Contribute to technical standards, provide guidance to other engineers, and help drive resolution of complex issues across labs
What you need:

  • 3+ years of experience in building and maintaining HW-in-the-loop test simulation environments and associated SW tools
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace, Software, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Strong C/C++ and Python skills
  • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink in a real-time simulation environment
  • Strong command of communication protocols: RS-422/485, CAN/CAN-FD, ARINC-429, Ethernet/TCP-IP
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and agile workflows
  • Strong problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and trouble-shooting skills
Nice To Have:

  • Experience in aerospace, spacecraft, or autonomous vehicles
  • Proficiency in the NI software suite (LabVIEW, VeriStand)
  • Experience in real-time OS development
  • Familiarity with FAA frameworks and DO-178 standards
  • Startup or fast-paced aerospace development experience
