About the Role

We are seeking a Software Integration Specialist to play a key role in deploying, integrating, and validating simulation systems that support the development and testing of next-generation autonomous electric aircraft. You will be working hands-on with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments, supporting critical software and system-level simulation activities across various internal and external platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate, validate, and deploy simulation systems for HIL and other system-level environments.
• Support hardware/software integration and commissioning of simulation and test platforms.
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues across software and hardware layers.
• Document and manage discrepancies in deployed simulation systems.
• Maintain configuration control and version tracking for simulation platforms.
• Implement software updates and patches for deployed simulation assets.
• Collaborate across engineering teams to define and deliver simulation solutions.
• Operate in an agile environment with shifting priorities and fast iteration cycles.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in software/hardware integration or simulation development.
• Strong hands-on experience with HIL/SIL simulations and system integration.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for simulation and integration tooling.
• Solid debugging and troubleshooting skills in mixed hardware/software environments.
• Familiarity with communication protocols commonly used in simulations.
• Excellent communication, time management, and team collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace or flight simulation experience.
• Experience with Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs).
• Familiarity with aerospace communication protocols (e.g., RS-485, ARINC 429, ARINC 664).
• Knowledge of avionics, aircraft dynamics, and control systems.
• Background in developing or certifying integrated simulation and test environments.
• Experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Aircraft Avionics (FMS, TCAS, EGPWS, etc.)
• Aircraft Systems (hydraulics, electrics, pneumatics)
• Flight Dynamics (aerodynamics, stability, controls)
• Command & Control (C2), ATC Systems
• Navigation and Communication Systems (GPS, CPDLC, ACARS)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Self-motivated with a proactive mindset.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Adaptable in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Effective communicator across cross-functional teams.
• Committed to quality, detail, and continuous improvement.
