The Motion and Controls Engineer, a member of the Flight Dynamics Group, is a highly motivated, self-driven team player responsible for the development, integration, testing, and documentation of motion and flight control simulations for flight training simulators across a wide range of fixed and rotary-wing commercial and military aircraft. This role requires a background in aerodynamics, mechatronics, and servo design, as well as the ability to succeed in a fast-paced, dynamic prototyping environment.

  • Development of aircraft test plans and on-site data collection support.
  • Post processing of aircraft test data and preparation of simulator verification data roadmaps.
  • Design of simulator motion and control loading systems.
  • Development of aircraft motion and flight control simulation math models, and software to execute these models in real-time.
  • Integration of simulation models with simulator hardware, computers, software, and other simulated systems.
  • Preparation of simulator qualification test guides and acceptance test procedures.
  • Participation in domestic and international simulator acceptance and qualification events with customers, military organizations, and commercial regulatory agencies.
  • Preparation of math model reports and associated simulator documentation.
  • Participation in system requirements, design, and test reviews.
  • Collaboration with other multi-disciplined engineering groups to ensure that overall simulator performance and quality standards are achieved.
  • Maintain currency with the latest domestic and international flight simulator regulations and technologies.
  • Provide technical content for proposals and technical specifications.
  • Bachelor’s degree required in Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience required, preferably in developing/integrating flight dynamic models and creating Qualification Test Guides (QTGs) in the flight simulation industry
  • Rigorous understanding of servo control and stability.
  • In-depth understanding of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft flight control systems.
  • Knowledge of motion, vibration, and buffet simulation methods.
  • Proficiency with modern software systems, including C/C++, Python, Linux, Git.
  • Ability to work independently or in a team environment.
  • Strategic innovator with critical thinking skills.
  • Strong work ethic, accountability, and integrity.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Professional and diplomatic demeanor.
  • Able to travel for extended periods domestically and internationally up to 25%25 annually.
  • Direct experience designing 6DOF motion systems and/or control loading systems.
  • Field experience with aircraft testing.
  • Piloting knowledge of fixed-wing and/or rotary-wing aircraft.
