  • Experience with aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.
  • Prior experience with the design, development, test and certification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) or of integrated simulation and test assets; preferably as an Integration Specialist.
  • Prior experience with the modeling, stimulation and/or integration of at least one of the following aspects of aerospace related simulation: Aircraft Avionics (FMS, EGPWS, WXR, TCAS etc), Aircraft Systems (pneumatics, electrics, hydraulics, etc), Aircraft Flight Dynamics (aerodynamics, stability, flight controls, etc), Command and Control (C2) links, Air Traffic Control Systems, Communication Systems (ACARS, CPDLC, etc), GPS/Navigation Systems.
Responsibilities
  • Carry out the integration, validation, and deployment of advanced simulations for a diverse set of applications.
  • Support all hardware-software (model, rehost, retarget, LSAP) integration and commissioning activities for integrated simulation and test assets.
  • Investigate and troubleshoot deployed simulation solutions; particularly on integrated simulation and test assets.
  • Ensure that discrepancy reports (DRs) raised against the integrated simulation and test assets are appropriately documented and dispositioned.
  • Ensure that the configuration of the integrated simulation and test assets is controlled and accurate at all times.
  • Develop and deploy simulation software fixes (as appropriate and feasible).
  • Help to cultivate and develop departmental expertise with simulation integration.
  • Collaborate with internal and external customers to identify simulation system/test asset requirements, plan milestones and deliver critical simulation solutions to support product development.
  • Work with agile teams to ensure that the needs of internal and external stakeholders are met.
  • Note that travel to onsite location to support the commissioning and sustainment of the integrated simulation and test assets will be required.

Wisk Aero develops autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft aimed at transforming urban transportation by making air taxis a viable option. Their eVTOL aircraft, branded as Wisk and Cora, are designed to be safe, sustainable, and accessible, meeting high aviation safety standards. Wisk Aero addresses the challenges of current transit systems by providing efficient air mobility solutions for urban commuters, businesses, and municipalities. The company generates revenue by selling eVTOL aircraft, offering air taxi services, and forming partnerships to integrate their technology into existing transportation networks. With over 1750 test flights completed since 2010, Wisk Aero is positioned as a leader in the advanced air mobility sector, focusing on innovation and enhancing mobility for everyday travel.
