You will be part of the Modelling & Simulation team responsible for real-time capable, whole-aircraft simulation models deployed in piloted engineering flight simulators and analysis environments. Your outputs will directly support aircraft design decisions, safety-of-flight readiness prior to flight test, and certification activities. You will integrate models into our simulation devices and collaborate across flight controls, avionics, electrical/power systems, flight sciences, and our test pilots - with a clear focus on credibility, traceability, and repeatability. In addition, you may develop and maintain the software infrastructure that makes simulation dependable at scale: requirements and configuration control, automated testing/regression, data visualisation, and workflow automation.\nJob Highlights\n\n eVTOL is not incremental aerospace. It demands tight coupling between flight control, power electronics, and vehicle physics under aggressive constraints and it demands that we demonstrate robustness, not just performance. Simulation is the proving ground. It is where we iterate fast, verify behaviour early, and reduce risk before hardware and flight time become the limiting factors. SkyDrive is expanding its simulation capability to support design, test, and certification in a disciplined way. You will join a small expert team with real ownership and a steep learning curve; the expectation is not simply to “run sims”, but to strengthen the engineering standard of simulation itself, and to turn it into a capability the programme can rely on.\nEssential Skills\n5+ years’ experience in modelling & simulation and/or simulation software engineering for complex, dynamic systems.\nDemonstrated ability to develop and integrate whole-system simulation components (models, interfaces, data, and workflows) in a disciplined engineering environment.\nStrong programming capability in C++ and/or Python.\nExperience building or maintaining simulation infrastructure that improves reliability and repeatability (e.g., configuration/version control, automated testing/regression, scenario execution, run logging and replay).\nExperience supporting simulation activities with engineering stakeholders (e.g., controls/systems engineers, flight test engineers, pilots), including preparing scenarios, executing runs, and communicating results.\nDesirable\nFamiliarity with MATLAB/Simulink, model-based design, and/or automatic code generation.\nExperience integrating simulation with hardware or simulated hardware, real-time execution constraints, and/or visual/audio/host environments.\nKnowledge of aircraft, flight dynamics, and aircraft systems or demonstrable ability to ramp quickly.\nExperience with verification and validation of simulation.\nExposure to simulator qualification practices and/or using simulation to support certification activities.\nExperience in aircraft flight or ground test environments, or direct support to test campaigns.\nSkills for Collaborative Success\nMotivated by the technical and organisational challenge of delivering an eVTOL that is safe, robust, and certifiable, not only novel.\nThinks in systems and interfaces: anticipates programme and internal-user needs, and designs simulation solutions that are repeatable, traceable, and release-grade.\nDemonstrates ownership and delivery discipline: meets commitments through clear planning, configuration control, and structured execution, with the ability to escalate risks early.\nImproves team throughout by identifying bottlenecks and implementing automation that turns simulation into a scalable capability.\nCommunicates clearly and documents consistently: produces usable artefacts so others can reproduce results and rely on the simulator with confidence.\n\nType of Employment\nPermanent Employee or Contract Employee\nProbationary period: 3~6 month\nPlace of Employment\nNagoya Airport Office: Nagoya Airport Terminal Building 2nd floor, Toyoba, Toyoyama-Cho, Nishikasugai, Aichi PrefectureMeasures to Prevent Secondhand Smoke: Smoking Room Provided\n\nScope of Change: Places determined by the Company (including places where telework is performed)\nWorking Hours\nFlextime or Discretionary labor systemIn the case of flextime: No core time\nDiscretionary Labor System: Specialized Class Deemed working hours per day: 10 hours\n\nBasic working hours: Start 9:00 End 18:00（Including 1hour break time）Overtime Work: Available\n\nHolidays\n115 days off per year（Saturday / Sundays / Newyear holidays（12/29～1/3） / Company designated holidays）\nAnnual paid leave\nRefresh leave (Granted after 1, 3, 4, 5 years of service)\nSalary\nEstimated Annual Salary: JPY 6,850,000- JPY 13,000,000\nMonthly Salary: JPY 571,000- JPY 1,083,000Includes fixed overtime pay for 45 hours*Additional overtime pay will be provided for hours exceeding the fixed overtime.\n\nTo be determined based on skills, experience, and abilities\nExpenses\nCommuting allowance, business trip allowance, moving allowance, etc.\nRelocation Packages*There are some conditions.\n\nSocial Insurance\nHealth insurance\nEmployee pension (according to Japan standards)\nEmployment insurance\nWorker’s accident compensation insurance\nScope of Work Change\nReassignment may occur to any other work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5327,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health
