JOB SUMMARY:
The Aerodynamics Engineer, a member of the Flight Dynamics Group, is a highly motivated, self-driven team player responsible for the development, integration, testing, and documentation of aerodynamic and engine simulations for flight training simulators across a wide range of fixed and rotary-wing commercial and military aircraft. This role requires a background in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and feedback control, as well as the ability to succeed in a fast-paced, dynamic prototyping environment.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
Development of aircraft flight test plans and on-site data collection support.
Post processing of aircraft test data and preparation of simulator verification data roadmaps.
Development of aircraft aerodynamic and engine simulation math models, and software to execute these models in real-time.
Integrate simulation models, including aircraft OEM models, with simulator hardware, computers, software, and other simulated systems.
Preparation of simulator qualification test guides and acceptance test procedures.
Participation in domestic and international simulator acceptance and qualification events with customers, military organizations, and commercial regulatory agencies.
Preparation of math model reports and associated simulator documentation.
Participation in system requirements, design, and test reviews.
Collaborate with other multi-disciplined engineering groups to ensure that overall simulator performance and quality standards are achieved.
Maintain currency with the latest domestic and international flight simulator regulations and technologies.
Provide technical content for proposals and technical specifications.
