Location: Mountain View CA

Duration: 6 months

Rate: Level P2 (2-4 years): $55 - $65/hour

Level P3 (5-7 years): $65 - $75/hour

Our client is looking for a SW Integration Specialist to ensure that SW packages are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets. These include but are not limited to:

• Real-time Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) and System-Level simulations
• Avionics Hardware and embedded software development activities
• Aircraft Systems development activities
• Ground Segment development activities
• Evaluation and Validation of simulated aircraft performance

You will ensure that all the elements (models software hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications to enablethe development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs andoperates safely in an urban air-mobility environment.

Responsibilities

• Carry out the integration validation and deployment of advanced simulations for a diverse set of applications.
• Support all hardware-software (model rehost retarget LSAP) integration and commissioning activities for integrated simulation and test assets.
• Investigate and troubleshoot deployed simulation solutions particularly on integrated simulation and test assets.
• Ensure that discrepancy reports (DRs) raised against the integrated simulation and test assets are appropriately documented and dispositioned.
• Ensure that the configuration of the integrated simulation and test assets is controlled and accurate at all times.
• Develop and deploy simulation software fixes (as appropriate and feasible).
• Help to cultivate and develop departmental expertise with simulation integration.
• Collaborate with internal and external customers to identify simulation system/test asset requirements plan milestones and deliver critical simulation solutions to support product development.
• Work with agile teams to ensure that the needs of internal and external stakeholders are met.

Proven Ability / Key Skills

• Proven ability in hardware/software integration and/or developing complex simulations.
• Proven ability developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.
• Knowledge with multiple communication protocols.
• Proficiency with software development preferably using C/C and Python.
• Familiarity with common techniques of debugging hardware/software integrations.
• Strong troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.

Desirable

• Aeronautical domain knowledge.
• Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTDs) proven ability.
• Awareness of aircraft protocols such as RS-485 ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.
• Familiarity with Aircraft Avionics Aircraft Dynamics and Aircraft Operations.
• Prior proven ability with the design development test and certification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) or of integrated simulation and test assets; preferably as an Integration Specialist.
• Prior proven ability with the modeling stimulation and/or integration of at least one of the following aspects of aerospace related simulation:
  • Aircraft Avionics (FMS EGPWS WXR TCAS etc.).
  • Aircraft Systems (pneumatics electrics hydraulics etc.).
  • Aircraft Flight Dynamics (aerodynamics stability flight controls etc.).
  • Command and Control (C2) links.
  • Air Traffic Control Systems.
  • Communication Systems (ACARS CPDLC etc.).
  • GPS/Navigation Systems.
