We are looking for a Simulation Integration Specialist to ensure that simulation systems are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets located in Montreal, Mountain View and Fremont. 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
With that vision in mind, we are looking for a Simulation Integration Specialist to join our team. The goal of the Simulation Integration Specialist at Wisk is to ensure that all simulation elements (models, software, hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications in order to enable the development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment. In support of this goal, you will be part of the Simulation Integration group that is responsible for developing, deploying and supporting an integrated simulation capability for the enterprise. Your mission is to ensure that the Simulation Integration group successfully delivers simulation solutions that meet the requirements of Wisk’s programs.
The successful candidate is a highly knowledgeable and experienced professional who has direct hands-on experience developing and deploying simulation solutions; particularly in the context of aircraft development and aircraft system/sub-system testing. In this role, the candidate must be an effective communicator who is able to build consensus amongst internal and external stakeholders. The candidate must be proactive, agile and pragmatic.
Due to the nature of the work required for this position, this is an onsite opportunity. You will be required to work from our Mountain View office.
What you will do:
- 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.
- Note that travel to onsite location to support the commissioning and sustainment of the integrated simulation and test assets will be required.
What you have done:
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline with 2 years of relevant experience.
- Minimum 2 years of combined experience in hardware/software integration and/or of hand-on experience developing simulations on HIL Devices.
- Proficiency with software development, preferably using C/C++, Python, Matlab/Simulink.
- Experience with communication protocols
- Strong hardware/software integration troubleshooting skills
- Creative approach to problem solving
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic complex environment with changing needs and requirements.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Desired:
- Familiarity with aircraft avionics, aircraft dynamics and aircraft operations
- Experience with aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.
- Prior experience 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 experience 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
Who you are:
- You are a highly motivated, self starting individual with a broad set of skills and never afraid of facing complex technical challenges
- You are a solution oriented individual with a strong analytical mindset
- You have strong communication skills and can easily tailor your communications to suit the audience
- You can adapt quickly or propose changes needed to achieve early results in a timely fashion
- You embrace challenges and take commitments and deliver results within reasonable expectations
- You are a positive team player
