particularly in the context of aircraft development and aircraft system/sub-system testing. In this role, the candidate must be an effective communicator who is able to build consensus amongst internal and external stakeholders. The candidate must be proactive, agile and pragmatic.
What you will do:- Carry out the integration, validation, and deployment of 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.
- Ensure that discrepancy reports (DRs) raised against the integrated simulation and test assets are appropriately documented and dispositioned.
- Ensure that the configuration of the integrated simulation and test assets is controlled and accurate at all times.
- Develop and deploy simulation software fixes (as appropriate and feasible).
- Help to 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.
- Note that presence at onsite location is mandatory.
What you have:- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
- Minimum 3 years of combined experience in hardware/software integration and/or of hand-on experience developing complex simulations.
- Experience developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.
- Experience with multiple communication protocols
- Proficiency with software development, preferably using C/C++ and Python.
- Familiarity with common techniques of debugging hardware/software integrations.
- Strong troubleshooting skills
- Creative approach to problem solving
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
- Excellent organizational and time management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Desired: - Experience in Aeronautical domain
- Experience on Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTDs)
- Experience with aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.
- Familiarity with Aircraft Avionics, Aircraft Dynamics and Aircraft Operations
- Prior experience with the design, development, test and certification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) or of 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
