- Establish simulator quality system processes and tools including management of deficiency reports.
- Perform simulator verification and validation testing.
- Lead certification activities for qualification of Flight Training Devices.
- Lead development of Beta processes and tools for the generation and management of simulator qualification artifacts such as QTGs and other regulatory requirements, collaborating with Flight Science, Simulation, and Data teams.
- Working with simulation and aircraft systems engineering teams to develop an approach and utilization of simulation model validation & verification for autonomous vehicle certification
- Lead interface between Beta Technologies and the National Simulator Program team for qualification of pilot training devices.
- Participate and maintain awareness of technical committees and industry guidance development on the use of simulation for certification credit of new and novel aircraft
- Lead interface with certification authorities on the use of simulator and simulation models as a certification method of compliance
- Work with Simulator Hardware and Software engineering teams to guide priorities and requirements
Minimum Qualifications we are seeking:
- 5+ years Experience in aircraft simulation/simulator development and qualification
- Experience in drafting Qualification Test Plans/Procedures for aircraft
- Experience in the simulator development process, including validation and verification methods
- A thorough understanding of computer architecture applied to simulator frameworks
- Competence in modern software development processes (i.e. Git, code reviews, testing, and continuous integration)
- Subject matter expert in Part 60 FTD/FSTD qualification
Above and Beyond Qualifications that will distinguish you:
- Experience in interfacing with the National Simulator Program team for FTD qualification
- Experience in pilot training syllabus development and approval process
- Experience in Model Based Systems and Software Engineering
- Experience with autonomous systems, human factors, controls systems, machine learning, or other fields expanding on this role in simulation.
- Experience programming in C++, C, Python, or other languages.
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
Ability to travel on a semi-regular (25% +) basis to simulator development sites, including travel between Burlington, Vermont and Montreal, Quebec offices.
