What are the responsibilities and job description for the Simulation Flight Software Integration Engineer position at EVONA?
Space Robotics | Embedded Software | Simulation & Autonomy
Do you want to build the software infrastructure that allows autonomous vehicles to be tested, validated, and mission-ready before they ever leave the ground?
We're partnering with an innovative aerospace company developing next-generation robotic systems and autonomous vehicles for lunar exploration. They're looking for a Simulation Flight Software Integration Engineer to bridge the gap between high-fidelity simulations and real flight software, enabling advanced software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of embedded software, robotics, simulation, autonomy, and spaceflight, helping ensure mission-critical systems perform as expected in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.
The Opportunity
As a Simulation Flight Software Integration Engineer, you'll own the interfaces that connect flight software with high-fidelity simulation environments. You'll collaborate closely with flight software, systems, autonomy, and test engineering teams to create robust testing frameworks that accelerate development and reduce risk before deployment.
If you enjoy working across software, hardware, robotics, and systems engineering disciplines, this role offers the chance to have a direct impact on real-world autonomous vehicle performance.
