Senior Simulation Engineer

About ADASI:

ADASI is a leading aerospace company committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the aviation and airspace industry. We specialize in creating cutting-edge solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in airspace management. As we continue to grow and take on new challenges, we are seeking a talented Flying Qualities and Aircraft Modeling/Simulation Engineer to join our team.

Responsibilities:

• Aircraft Modeling: develop and validate UAV (fixed wing and multicopter) 6-DOF simulation models, including aerodynamics, propulsion, systems and environment
• Flying Qualities Analysis: evaluate aircraft behavior in static and dynamic simulations, verifying requirements and aircraft robustness
• Process Automation: improve simulation and model validation automation
• Aircraft Sizing: support conceptual and preliminary design for flying qualities perspective, such as stability and controllability requirements
• Flight Test Support and Data Analysis: propose UAV flight test points to evaluate flying qualities and control law. Analyze flight test data to find aircraft problems and improvements
• Model Adjustment: correct modeling database based on flight test results
• Project Management: Taking ownership of tasks while adhering to deadlines and budgets.
  
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree : A bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field is required. A master's degree is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in flying qualities or aircraft modeling and simulation (preference for 10+ years).
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink. Python programming is a plus
• System Modeling: Strong understanding of dynamic system modeling and simulation tools, specially aircraft-related systems (propulsion, sensors and actuators). Experience in rotary wing modeling will be considered a bonus.
• Aerodynamics: able to understand and have a critical evaluation of aerodynamic coefficients from wind tunnel and CFD analysis, implement and validate them in the flying qualities model
• Aircraft Design Phases : Familiarity with Aircraft Design Phases (conceptual, preliminary, and detail)
• Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose and resolve complex aerodynamic issues.
• Team Player: Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
• Adaptability: Ability to adapt to changing project requirements and priorities in a fast-paced aerospace environment.
  
  

ADASI is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
