As a Senior 6-DOF Simulation Engineer within the Tactical Reconnaissance and Strike Division, you will join the guidance, navigation, and control team to develop high-fidelity simulation software for an autonomous drone fleet. You will build and maintain 6-DOF simulation software, create digital twins of various vehicles, and develop Software-In-The-Loop and Hardware-In-The-Loop tests. Your daily work involves characterizing aerodynamics, optics, actuators, and IMUs for fixed-wing and rotorcraft platforms while analyzing flight test data to validate GNC algorithms. To succeed, you must be proficient in C++, Matlab, Simulink, Simulink Embedded Coder, and Python. You will apply expertise in modeling linear and nonlinear dynamic systems, Monte-Carlo simulations, and sensor integration. This role solves critical navigation challenges in contested environments, including communication and GPS-denied areas, to ensure reliable performance for autonomous aerial platforms.
