Simulation EngineerThe RoleAs a
Simulation Engineer at Electra, you'll build and maintain the software and hardware in the loop simulation environments that engineering and test rely on to validate the EL9's systems before they fly. This is an early-career role with real ownership - you'll work directly with senior engineers to develop SIL/HIL labs for flight controls, avionics, and hybrid propulsion, and you'll grow quickly in an environment where your work has direct program impact.
What You'll Do- Build and integrate real-time simulation models using RTOS platforms and model-based development tools (e.g., Simulink, MATLAB).
- Develop custom interfaces between disparate simulation models and hardware components
- Support integration of SIL/HIL labs and the engineering flight simulator
- Maintain configuration control and documentation for all simulation environments in support of FAA Part 23 certification activities.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with the functional IPTs to define simulation requirements and resolve integration issues.
What You Bring- Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent experience (aerospace, electrical, mechanical, or software preferred).
- 2+ years of experience in simulation development, systems integration, or related engineering roles.
- Hands-on experience with model-based development tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent.
- Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and hardware interface development.
- Experience with software or hardware integration testing a plus.
- CAA (FAA/EASA) certification program experience a plus.
- S. Person (Citizen or Permanent Resident) required.
What We Offer- Competitive salary and equity.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance; STD, LTD, and life insurance.
- Generous PTO, sick leave, and company holidays.
- Paid winter break.
- 401(k) with immediate vesting.
- Free catered lunches, coffee, snacks, and drinks at our Manassas headquarters.
- Free on-site parking.
