Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineer, you need strong skills in mathematical modeling, simulation design, and proficiency with Matlab/Simulink, often backed by a degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field. Experience with version control systems, scripting languages, and relevant certifications in Matlab can enhance your technical toolkit. Effective problem-solving, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently during overnight shifts are standout soft skills for this role. These skills ensure accurate, efficient development and troubleshooting of simulations, supporting project timelines and critical overnight operations.

What are some unique challenges faced by Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineers and how can they be addressed?

Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineers often work independently during off-peak hours, which can present challenges such as limited immediate access to colleagues for troubleshooting or support. Managing large-scale simulations that take several hours to run also requires strong organizational and time-management skills to monitor multiple processes and document findings efficiently. To address these challenges, it's helpful to maintain clear communication with the day team through detailed handover notes, use robust version control practices, and set up automated alerts for simulation errors or completions. Proactively collaborating with colleagues during overlap hours can also enhance workflow and ensure continuity.

What does an Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineer do?

An Overnight Matlab Simulation Engineer is responsible for developing, running, and monitoring simulations in Matlab during overnight shifts. They often handle tasks such as automating simulation workflows, analyzing simulation results, and troubleshooting issues that arise during the night. Their work ensures that simulation projects progress continuously and that data is ready for engineers working during the day. This role requires strong proficiency in Matlab, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work independently during non-standard hours.

Job description

Senior Simulation Engineer


The successful applicant will lead simulation and technology projects and experiments, and be part of a team that develops, maintains, and runs simulations in flight simulator facilities at NASA Ames Research Center's SimLabs. SimLabs consists of the Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS), the largest vertical motion simulator in the world; the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator (ACFS), a hexapod simulator being readied for passenger ride quality research; and FutureFlight Central (FFC), an Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulation facility. The Simulation Engineer will work with team members and research customers to develop, integrate, and test real-time aircraft and spacecraft simulations to fulfill research requirements, generate and validate research data, and provide support during human-in-the-loop simulations to ensure research goals are met. See www.nasa.gov/simlabs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBgvGmhLFXk&t=66s for more information about SimLabs.


Responsibilities

  1. The Senior Simulation Engineer is responsible for overall management and engineering activities of simulation experiments and technology projects, including:
    1. Project plan development and tracking.
    2. Simulation team task management.
    3. Customer collaboration, and requirements management.
  2. Works within a very software-diverse laboratory environment, addressing system functionality across multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux) and software languages (C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Java).
  3. Designs, implements, and modifies aircraft math models and other simulation-specific code per customer requirements. Tests and verifies that models and code meet operational performance requirements.
  4. Works closely with the simulation engineering team to initiate, address, and test new software features and bug fixes.
  5. Operates flight simulators according to research/test plans and serves as the main point of communication for customers and simulation team members involved in running a simulation.
  6. Implements and tests new simulation hardware in the existing simulation infrastructure.
  7. Generates documentation for new software and hardware capabilities, and simulation projects.

Required Qualifications

  1. Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Aeronautics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
  2. More than five years of work experience or other equivalent experience.
  3. Experience in modeling and simulation or equivalent engineering activities.
  4. Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and converting Simulink models to C code using Simulink Coder.
  5. Experience in simulation experiment management.
  6. Strong programming background (e.g., C/C++).
  7. Excellent communication skills.
  8. Eager to learn and understand the simulation software and technologies at SimLabs.


Desired Qualifications

  1. Experience with real-time human-in-the-loop flight simulations and simulators.
  2. Experience in disciplines such as aerodynamics, flight dynamics, flight controls, propulsion, and navigation systems.
  3. Knowledge of Unix shell scripting.
  4. Experience with configuration management tools (such as Git and SVN) and software life cycle practices.
