What is the difference between Remote Mechanical Simulation Engineer vs Mechanical Design Engineer?

AspectRemote Mechanical Simulation EngineerMechanical Design Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, simulation software certificationsBachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, CAD software certifications
Work EnvironmentRemote, primarily computer-based, simulation labsOffice or on-site, CAD and prototyping labs
Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, product developmentProduct design, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace

The Remote Mechanical Simulation Engineer focuses on analyzing and testing mechanical systems virtually using simulation tools, often working remotely. In contrast, Mechanical Design Engineers are more involved in creating and developing physical mechanical components and assemblies, typically working on-site or in office environments. Both roles require strong engineering credentials and industry experience, but their daily tasks and work settings differ significantly.

Job description

SkyGrid, a Wisk Company, exists to open the sky for autonomous flight. Based in Austin, Texas, SkyGrid builds ground-based high-assurance third-party services to enable the safe operations and airspace integration of highly automated and autonomous aircraft. SkyGrid also acts as a key operational nexus for advanced air mobility, integrating and managing data, infrastructure, access, and traffic to support seamless and efficient air traffic services.
SkyGrid is looking for a highly motivated and organized Simulation Engineer III to develop simulation capabilities to prototype and conceptually validate technology and services within the SkyGrid environment. This role will ensure effective alignment between the simulation team and other internal teams, manage customer requests involving simulation capabilities, and drive the integration of external simulation tools including those from Boeing and other partners. The ideal candidate will have a solid technical understanding of simulation frameworks and collaborative workflows. This role will report to the Systems Engineering Manager and while a hybrid workplace is preferred, it can be considered a fully remote role.
Performance Objectives:
  • Master the SkyGrid Simulation framework to support development of advanced Airspace Management services and features as part of the Technology Maturation Process within the first 3 months.
  • Deliver high-quality simulation artifacts through the R&D phase to ensure successful Technical Maturation Review and Gate 5 completion within the next 9-12 months.
  • Update simulation artifacts post Gate 5 through formal development phase of the program and support validation and certification of the Product and Services within the next 12-24 months.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop simulation capabilities for Product and Services within the SkyGrid environment.
  • Act as the focal for the integration of Simulation tools and resources derived from Boeing, Wisk, and external entities.
  • Monitor progress, identify risks, and implement corrective actions when necessary to keep simulation projects on track.
  • Foster a collaborative and productive working environment within the simulation team.
  • Support continuous improvement of simulation processes, tools, and methodologies.
  • Prepare and present technical updates to stakeholders, including internal leadership and external partners.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in simulation development, systems integration, or similar technical domains.
  • Strong understanding of simulation frameworks, tools, and architectures.
  • Experience integrating third-party simulation tools and APIs.
  • Experience in software coding (using Python, MATLAB, Simulink, or equivalent languages) to build and test system simulation models.
  • Experience in documenting simulation and design artifacts as a formal handover to the development team for implementation and deployment.
  • Strong organizational, time management, and communication skills with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Experience conducting large-scale simulation demonstrations with third-party software and documenting associated test artifacts.
  • Experience developing simulation visualization tools.
  • Air Traffic Management/Safety critical systems development experience is desirable.

Join Our Team and Enjoy Exceptional Benefits:
  • Comprehensive Health Coverage from Day One: Enjoy immediate access to medical, dental, and vision insurance, including HSA and FSA options.
  • Generous Retirement Contributions: Benefit from an automatic company 401k contribution program, with no match required, plus an additional company matching program to boost your retirement savings.
  • Calm Annual Membership: Prioritize your mental health with complimentary access to mindfulness and meditation resources.
  • Discounted ClassPass Membership: Stay active and healthy with access to thousands of fitness studios and gyms nationwide.
  • Investment in Your Growth: Receive an annual stipend for learning and development to support your continuous education and skill development
  • Engaging Team Activities: Participate in quarterly team-building events and celebrations organized by our dedicated culture committee.
  • Fully Stocked Kitchen: Enjoy a variety of snacks and beverages to keep you fueled throughout the day.
