Lead the development and integration of SIL co-simulation components to satisfy the end-user testing requirements.
Create and maintain virtual controller models to be used across different simulation domains, including components such as RTOS, HWIO, serial data communication models, etc.
Develop subsystem and component models, such as sensors, actuators, and plant physical behavioral models.
Integrate both virtual controller and subsystem model into a dynamic virtual simulation and test environment.
Create and maintain detailed documents for each release. Provide technical support to end-users for released SIL co-simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting.
Work with software and calibration development engineers to understand new feature requirements and ensure proper implementation.
Ensure the co-simulation environments are delivered with high-quality and on-time delivery.
Support deployment of SIL co-simulations for both local release and automation testing on cloud infrastructure.
What You'll Need (Required Qualifications):
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, computer science or related discipline.
5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 year of integration experience.
3+ years of experience in virtualization and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation for propulsion systems.
