Job summary

EDGE seeks an experienced Flight Quality & Simulation (FQS) Engineer to support development, integration, verification and validation of aircraft flight dynamics and simulation models. The role emphasizes 6-DOF modelling, MATLAB/Simulink and real-time simulation, with duties spanning MIL/SIL/HIL testing and V&V activities.

The ideal candidate will craft nonlinear aircraft dynamics, assess stability and control, and integrate models into high-fidelity real-time environments, contributing to

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical or closely related engineering discipline.
• Relevant professional experience in aircraft flight dynamics, simulation or aerospace modelling.
• Strong working knowledge of MATLAB and Simulink.
• Understanding of aircraft dynamics, stability and control principles.
• Knowledge of aircraft aerodynamic characteristics and mathematical modelling.
• Experience working with aircraft simulation models and engineering analysis tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and technical documentation skills.
• Good communication and teamwork capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Develop, modify and maintain nonlinear six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) aircraft dynamic models.
• Develop and integrate aircraft mathematical models using MATLAB and Simulink.
• Perform aircraft flight dynamics analysis, including stability, control, trim and linearization assessments.
• Develop, integrate and analyse aerodynamic databases using CFD, wind-tunnel and flight-test data.
• Conduct flight-quality and handling-qualities assessments against applicable aerospace standards.
• Support model development, integration and execution within real-time simulation environments.
• Perform Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
• Conduct model verification and validation (V&V), including simulation accuracy assessments and test correlation.
• Support fixed-step simulation execution and code generation for real-time applications.
• Troubleshoot model performance, simulation discrepancies and integration issues.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support aircraft simulation and system development activities.
• Prepare technical documentation, simulation reports and verification evidence.
