What is a simulation manager?

Simulation Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of simulation-based training and educational programs. They often work in fields such as healthcare, aviation, or engineering, managing simulation labs, coordinating scenarios, and ensuring equipment and technology are maintained. Their duties include supervising staff, developing curricula, and ensuring that simulation activities meet organizational and accreditation standards. Simulation Managers play a key role in enhancing training outcomes by providing realistic and effective learning experiences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a simulation manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Simulation Manager, you need expertise in simulation-based training, project management, and a relevant degree such as in healthcare, engineering, or education. Familiarity with simulation software (e.g., Laerdal, CAE), audiovisual systems, and potentially certifications like Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) is important. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills help in coordinating teams and delivering effective training experiences. These skills ensure the successful implementation and management of simulation programs that enhance learning outcomes and operational efficiency.

How does a simulation manager typically collaborate with cross-functional teams in a project environment?

Simulation Managers often work closely with engineering, design, and project management teams to ensure that simulation models accurately reflect real-world scenarios. They facilitate regular meetings to gather requirements, validate data inputs, and communicate simulation results to stakeholders. Effective collaboration involves translating technical findings into actionable insights for non-technical team members, helping guide decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong communication skills and a proactive approach to ensure alignment across all involved departments.

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.
