Simulation and Test Systems Manager

The role

You will lead and grow a team of engineers responsible for end-to-end simulation frameworks and test automation infrastructure. You will provide technical and architectural guidance on the simulation stack and work with leaders across various departments to execute technical roadmaps.

What you will do

• Lead and grow the team of engineers responsible for end-to-end simulation framework and test automation infrastructure
• Own the maturation of engineering processes to balance simulation-based testing and GNC algorithm evaluation with aviation certification requirements
• Provide technical and architectural guidance on the simulation stack
• Develop and execute technical roadmaps
• Manage priorities
• Empower the team to deliver robust, reproducible, and highly scalable verification tools
• Work closely with leaders across GNC, Flight Software, Systems, Avionics, and Certification

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline
• 7+ years of professional experience in simulation framework design, physics modeling, or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test development
• 3+ years of experience in a technical leadership or people management role, scaling teams and engineering processes
• Strong professional experience in C++ and Python for simulation, system integration, and data processing
• Excellent documentation, collaboration, and cross-functional communication skills

Nice to have

• Demonstrated success leading teams and maturing development processes in a high-growth environment
• Deep understanding of aircraft flight dynamics, sensor modeling, or control systems
• Experience developing high-fidelity simulators or test environments for safety-critical / DO-178C software and hardware systems
• Experience architecting distributed simulation frameworks, cluster virtualization, or cloud-scale Monte Carlo test pipelines (AWS/Docker/Kubernetes)
• Experience working with hardware emulators, waveform generators, or real-time operating systems (RTOS)

Before you apply

• Requires access to information subject to U.S. export controls
• Offer is contingent upon capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws
• Applicants must provide documentation establishing status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person
