Simulation Software information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Simulation Software Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Simulation Software Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in C++, Python, or MATLAB), a background in mathematics or engineering, and experience with simulation modeling. Familiarity with simulation platforms like Simulink, Arena, or AnyLogic, as well as knowledge of version control and software development tools, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication help you translate complex systems into accurate simulations and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications ensure the creation of reliable, efficient simulation models that inform decision-making and innovation across industries.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in simulation software development, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in simulation software often encounter challenges such as ensuring model accuracy, managing computational resource demands, and integrating their solutions with other engineering tools. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with subject matter experts, staying updated on advancements in computing hardware, and adhering to industry standards for interoperability. Regular communication with team members—including engineers, designers, and testers—also helps to streamline troubleshooting and foster innovative solutions.

What is simulation software?

Simulation software is a type of computer program that models real-world systems, processes, or environments to study their behavior under various conditions. It allows users to test scenarios, predict outcomes, and optimize designs without the cost or risk of physical experiments. Simulation software is widely used in industries like engineering, healthcare, aviation, and manufacturing for purposes such as product development, training, and research. The software can range from simple models to highly complex, multi-physics simulations depending on the application.

Job description

Summary: The Sr. Aerothermal Engineer for the Digital Twins for Test Systems will lead the design, development, and deployment of real-time digital twins for a large wind tunnel facility complex. We are seeking a dynamic leader with experience fusing modeling and simulation with real-world results to drive the creation of wind tunnel facility digital surrogates to accelerate facility operations and test conduct.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and lead development of real-time wind tunnel facility digital twin / simulation software systems with hardware in the loop
  • Integrate physics-based simulations of the wind tunnel test sections, test articles, and facility mechanical systems with the facility hardware and instrumentation architectures to drive significant improvements in test conduct efficiency, data collection, and anchoring of test facility and test article models
  • Support the test facility software and controls teams to integrate the digital twin capabilities with controls, data acquisition, and data display development efforts
  • Lead a small team of engineers performing digital twin development tasks to align products with broader digital engineering platform development
  • Support the development of techniques with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for facility data collection and management, digital twin updates, and operational decision making
  • Support integration of configuration management tools with the digital twins to track and manage the test facility baselines
  • Enforce configuration management of all data related to digital twin software and artifacts
  • Prepare clear technical documentation, analysis summaries, charts, and presentations for internal reviews and external stakeholders
  • Interface with customer technical representatives to review and discuss analysis activities and results

Preferred Education / Experience:

  • Advanced degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline
  • 5-10 years of experience pertinent to the responsibilities listed above; or
  • A combination of education and experience equivalent to above


Preferred Knowledge / Ability:

  • Demonstrated experience with wind tunnel testing, either in support of facility operations or performing specific test entries
  • Strong competency in the thermodynamic, aerodynamic, and mechanical principles that underpin wind tunnel performance and operations
  • Experience with real time digital twin / simulation software integration environments (e.g., Ansys, Dassault, and Siemens digital twin products)
  • Strong programming skills for modeling and analysis (e.g., Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Fortran, or C++), including scripting for automation of simulations and data reduction
  • Familiarity with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software and hardware systems
  • Deep understanding of engineering principles, including mechanical, electromechanical, and aerospace systems design, test, and evaluation
  • Proficiency in interpreting engineering plans, technical drawings, and specifications
  • Ability to define complex problems, analyze data, interpret abstract concepts, and develop effective solutions
  • Demonstrated leadership of cross-functional teams from project conception to completion; guiding teams through planning, execution, and delivery phases
  • Skilled in project management, prioritization, budgeting, and delivering results on time
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and engineering-related software tools
  • Active U.S. security clearance preferred; candidates must be U.S. citizens and eligible to obtain and maintain a clearance

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with aerospace test systems and / or vehicle development programs
  • Background in early-stage research and development, product development methodologies, and innovation strategy
  • Familiarity with Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition processes, R&D funding, and technology development programs
