About the position
In this role, you will assist in the development of Archer's high fidelity aircraft simulators, which are crucial for validation and verification activities. Your responsibilities will include handling quality evaluations, human factor evaluations, and supporting test pilot training. You will collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to integrate, instrument, and maintain the configuration of aircraft simulation models within a real-time simulation environment. Additionally, you will be tasked with maintaining and improving the existing simulation framework that connects desktop simulations to real-time environments. Your work will also involve building software bridges between real-time simulation instrumentation and desktop simulation analysis tools, designing and building graphical user interfaces for controlling the real-time simulation environment, and writing drivers to integrate novel hardware using non-standard communication protocols. Furthermore, you will assist in executing test plans and automating tests.
