Job Description
Overview
i3 is seeking a Simulation Flight Modeling Engineer to develop aircraft flight simulation models. Preferred candidates will have a strong understanding in JSBSim or other flight dynamics model development. Models will be integrated with a cutting-edge training and simulation solution for the MQ-1C Gray Eagle Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) and provide enough fidelity to achieve model accreditation through operational system testing.
This position is located at our Huntsville office with the option of hybrid work.
