Remote Flight Simulator Engineer information

What is the difference between Remote Flight Simulator Engineer vs Remote Flight Instructor?

AspectRemote Flight Simulator EngineerRemote Flight Instructor
CredentialsRelevant engineering certifications, FAA or EASA licenses, technical degreesFlight instructor certifications, FAA or EASA licenses, pilot ratings
Work EnvironmentSimulator development labs, remote technical supportRemote classroom sessions, live flight training via simulators
Industry UsageAircraft manufacturers, simulation companies, airlinesFlight schools, airlines, training organizations

The main difference is that Remote Flight Simulator Engineers focus on developing and maintaining flight simulation software and hardware, requiring technical engineering skills. In contrast, Remote Flight Instructors provide training and instruction to pilots using simulators, emphasizing teaching and pilot certification. Both roles may work remotely and require aviation credentials, but their core responsibilities differ significantly.

  • Executing project tasks within a technical team focused on Flight Controls and GNC Automation encompassing multiple fixed wing platforms.
  • Communicating and accomplishing tasks with cross functional stakeholders in the execution of experimental learning experiences in a HIL/SIL, ground and flight test.
  • Conduct various types of data analysis in support of time sensitive developmental or operational efforts, funneling documented results back into risk management and safety workflows for additional review, procedural or safety bulletins, product support and future technological development projects.
  • Support the development, planning or execution of a variety of test related activities required for internal and customer driven projects, processes, or gate reviews.

Required Qualifications
  • BS degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Controls engineering or other relevant discipline, plus a minimum two years of direct experience with fixed wing UAS Flight Controls and GNC implementation.
  • US Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance.
  • Demonstrated experience in technical project teams, assessing risk, and executing tasks to maintain the required pace to reach viable technical solutions.
  • Practical experience with development or operational improvement of fixed wing UAS technology.
  • Hands-on experience in software development for flight controls and in guidance, navigation and control for fixed wing systems.
  • Ability to understand automation challenges or gaps, and participate in solutions-based collaborations.
  • Ability to execute operations of hardware-in-the-loop simulators, conducting testing and troubleshooting of HW/SW interfaces. Familiarity with software configuration management tools, version control systems, defect tracking tools, and workflows with peer review required.
