Our client is looking for a SW Integration Specialist to ensure that SW packages are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets. These include, but are not limited to:
- Real-time, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and System-Level simulations
- Avionics Hardware and embedded software development activities
- Aircraft Systems development activities
- Ground Segment development activities
- Evaluation and Validation of simulated aircraft performance
You will ensure that all the elements (models, software, hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications to enable the development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Proven Ability / Key Skills
- Proven ability in hardware/software integration and/or developing complex simulations.
- Proven ability developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.
- Knowledge 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.
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.
Desirable
- Aeronautical domain knowledge.
- Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTDs) proven ability.
- Awareness of aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.
- Familiarity with Aircraft Avionics, Aircraft Dynamics and Aircraft Operations.
- Prior proven ability 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 proven ability 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.
