• To maintain and constantly improve the capabilities of the simulation lab.
• Prepare technical documentation necessary to satisfy customer and program requirements.
• Contribute to all Systems Engineering aspects (architecture and components) from initial product research, architecture definition, requirements definition, systems verification, management and flow down to functional engineering groups.
• To provide simulation support for: the planning, modeling, simulation, specifications and integration of components that reside in a system comprised of electronic hardware, microcontrollers, embedded software or sensors.
• Act as a focal for customer and internal questions about the physics of the airplane and brake control and how the simulation captures the physics.
• To match the simulation to flight test data.
• Maintain simulation configurations during development, integration, flight test and certification.
• Help define the system architecture definition for landing systems with focus on brake control and monitoring systems or sensor-based control and indication systems in a structured environment to meet customer needs.--
• May participate in the certification compliance activities of essential and critical level control systems for aircraft applications.
• Execute projects in accordance with schedules and budgets.
• Coordinate activities with others assigned within the Integrated Product Team.
