Simulation Team Member

Role Overview

This role is about building the virtual aircraft that accelerates SkyDrive’s path to flight. You will be part of the Modelling & Simulation team responsible for real-time capable, whole-aircraft simulation models deployed in piloted engineering flight simulators and analysis environments. Your outputs will directly support aircraft design decisions, safety-of-flight readiness prior to flight test, and certification activities. You will integrate models into our simulation devices and collaborate across flight controls, avionics, electrical/power systems, flight sciences, and our test pilots — with a clear focus on credibility, traceability, and repeatability. In addition, you may develop and maintain the software infrastructure that makes simulation dependable at scale: requirements and configuration control, automated testing/regression, data visualisation, and workflow automation.

Job Highlights

eVTOL is not incremental aerospace. It demands tight coupling between flight control, power electronics, and vehicle physics under aggressive constraints and it demands that we demonstrate robustness, not just performance. Simulation is the proving ground. It is where we iterate fast, verify behaviour early, and reduce risk before hardware and flight time be
