• 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.
