A successful candidate will collaborate with the Modeling & Simulation (M&S) team and the Mission Planning team. The candidate will serve in a senior-level aerospace/systems engineering role specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), 6-DoF flight simulations, and systems verification and validation.
As a Senior Integration Flight Simulation Engineer your duties will include the following, but are not limited to:
Design, test, verify and validate virtual physics-based flight models and simulation environments for aerospace and missile systems.
Responsible for incorporating all updated technical requirements, flight data analysis (Time, Space, Positioning, Information (TSPI)), military/industry standards, mission planning, and prioritized qualifications and breaks out as follows:
Execute formal Requirements Verification & Validation (V&V) across the vehicle lifecycle.
Apply relevant Military and Industry Standards (e.g., flying qualities, system safety, software standards) to engineering artifacts.
Develop, integrate, and execute high-fidelity Six Degrees of Freedom (6-DoF) integrated flight simulations and vehicle dynamic models.
Implement aerodynamic, control, and propulsion models into unified simulation architectures.
Evaluate and refine aircraft navigation algorithms (GPS/INS, state estimation, Kalman filtering) and flight control systems across operational envelopes.
Analyze vehicle trajectory generation, guidance laws, and flight performance.
Review and interpret ground and flight test reports, range telemetry, and Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI) data.
Perform truth-data comparisons and model correlation to validate simulation fidelity against real-world test data.
Perform pre-flight predictions and post-flight analysis of flight test events.
Collaborate closely across multi-disciplinary IPTs including Avionics, Flight Test, Mission Planning, Propulsion, and Software.
