Sr. Staff Engineer, Simulation (R2743)

As a simulation engineer, you will be responsible for improving and scaling our simulation capabilities for the V-BAT and future aircraft. You will build and integrate models across our various engineering teams (e.g. Aerodynamics, GNC, Propulsion, etc.) to enable efficient and scalable simulation workflows. Your simulation solutions will be a key development tool for other engineers and also a critical gate in our release process.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

1. Design, develop, and optimize high-performance simulation frameworks. 
2. Implement concurrent programming techniques to ensure efficient utilization of computational resources. 
3. Develop inter-process communication mechanisms for seamless data exchange between simulation components. 
4. Scale simulation environments into the cloud using technologies such as Kubernetes. 
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, autonomy engineers, and aerodynamics engineers, to ensure the simulation accurately reflects real-world conditions. 
6. Integrate basic physics principles into simulations to enhance realism and accuracy. 
7. Conduct testing and validation of simulation frameworks to ensure performance and reliability. 
8. Stay updated with the latest advancements in simulation technologies and apply them to our systems.
