Flight Sciences Simulation Engineer

The successful candidate will be Embedded within the Flight Sciences and Simulations (FS&S) team and will play a pivotal role in the upgrade/further development of our Flight Trainer Static Simulator.

The primary role will be to support the Flight Trainer simulation upgrade/further development such that the project's goals are met, development schedules are maintained and problems encountered during the development process are resolved.

The Flight Sciences Simulation Engineer will be expected to support a wide range of simulator developmental activities within the Flight Science & Simulation team, including:

• Matlab/Simulink model development, integration and testing of aircraft system models.
• Simulation development, testing and application with results analysis to provide an understanding of the component models and their interactions with the overall air vehicle.
• Collaborative working with team members in the definition and testing of complex system emulations.
• Investigation of modelling and simulation tools to meet internal customer requirements and subsequent development of applications for delivery to the end user.
• Verification and Validation of models/simulations.
• Delivery, reporting and presentation of technical work, and provision of documentation (ICDs, User Guides, Delivery Notes) for models, simulations and applications.
• Process development and maintenance.
• Configuration management.
• In conjunction with FS&S team members create a prioritised simulation development plan and contribute to its delivery.
• Engage effectively across all FS&S and Flight Test disciplines to ensure simulation best practice is implemented and understood by people with varied technical backgrounds.
• Maintain an awareness of simulation technology developments and exercise judgement in determining when and how to adopt these into new working practices.

Key skills, knowledge and experience include:

• Educated to degree level or higher in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or equivalent subject.
• A minimum of 5 years of demonstrable and relevant experience.
