  • Coordinate and perform work in the areas of Intercommunications, Information Technology, and design and test of ground control systems.
  • Design, develop, and implement software for real-time simulations and research aircraft modeling, including aerodynamics, flight controls, flight systems, and aero models.
  • Assist in the development, integration, and testing of 6-degree-of-freedom simulations, including software-based and hardware-in-the-loop simulation environments.
  • Develop simulation studies to evaluate handling qualities, system performance, and flight control behavior.
  • Perform verification and validation activities to ensure simulation products, flight items, and related systems meet project and Center requirements.
  • Support engineers and pilots during ground tests and flight operations by providing simulation prediction data, timing, performance analysis, and other technical assistance.
  • Prepare, review, and maintain technical documentation, including design documents, interface control documents, wiring schematics, test plans, procedures, and test reports.
  • Review project designs and test documentation to determine testing methodologies and recommend updates to ensure compliance with AFRC processes and procedures.
  • Document test activities and results in required systems, including DATR, Work Order systems, and NAMIS, as applicable, with clear pass/fail criteria and quality witness support.
  • Support the design, development, electrical analysis, integration, execution, and reporting of hardware-in-the-loop simulator systems and related simulator hardware for Center programs.

  • Bachelors degree in Engineering or Physical Science with at least 3 years of experience OR advanced Degree in Engineering or Physical Science.
  • Must be a US citizen.
  • Must be able to secure and maintain a secret security clearance.

Highly Desired Qualification included:

  • Proficiency in C++, C, FORTRAN, Java, and Python.
