SW Integration Specialist (Evening, Night & Weekend shifts)

Location: Mountain View, CA

Duration: 6 months

Rate: Level P2 (2-4 years): $55 - $65/hour

Level P3 (5-7 years): $65 - $75/hour

Our client is looking for a SW Integration Specialist to ensure that SW packages are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets. These include, but are not limited to:

- Real-time, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and System-Level simulations

- Avionics Hardware and embedded software development activities

- Aircraft Systems development activities

- Ground Segment development activities

- Evaluation and Validation of simulated aircraft performance

You will ensure that all the elements (models, software, hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications to enable the development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment.

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.

Proven Ability / Key Skills

- Proven ability in hardware/software integration and/or developing complex simulations.

- Proven ability developing HIL/SIL simulations and test environments.

- Knowledge with multiple communication protocols.

- Proficiency with software development, preferably using C/C++ and Python.

- Familiarity with common techniques of debugging hardware/software integrations.

- Strong troubleshooting skills.

- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.

Desirable

- Aeronautical domain knowledge.

- Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTDs) proven ability.

- Awareness of aircraft protocols such as RS-485, ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 664.

- Familiarity with Aircraft Avionics, Aircraft Dynamics and Aircraft Operations.

- Prior proven ability 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 proven ability 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.
