Sr. Simulation Software Engineer

Overview As a Senior Simulation Software Engineer, you shape and accelerate our simulation stack to test safety-critical autonomous aviation software. You will drive a robust, deterministic framework and collaborate with flight software, guidance/navigation/control, and hardware-test engineers. Your work improves core architecture, performance, and reproducibility while mentoring teammates. This role offers impact on simulation tooling used for millions of flight-equivalent hours and safety validation.
