Simulation Flight Model Developer (m/f/x)

Your Role

As a Simulation Flight Model Developer, you bring our aircraft to life in the virtual world. You design the mathematical core that defines how our simulators feel, fly, and respond, especially in the most demanding flight regimes such as stall, post-stall, and aerobatic maneuvers. Your work directly shapes the realism and training quality experienced by pilots worldwide.

Your Responsibilities

• Analyze flight test data and perform parameter estimation and model validation
• Develop and refine aerodynamic models for fixed-wing aircraft, with focus on stall, post-stall, and aerobatic flight regimes
• Execute simulations and perform verification and validation of flight dynamics models
• Contribute to the design, implementation, and tuning of autopilot and control systems using MATLAB & Simulink
• Develop models for aircraft systems such as propulsion, control surfaces, and sensors
• Integrate and test flight models within flight simulation environments
• Improve model accuracy based on comparison with real flight data and simulation results
• Collaborate closely with software engineers and the wider simulation team

Your Profile

• Degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field
• Minimum 5 years of experience in flight dynamics and aerodynamic modeling
• Proven experience in developing mathematical models of fixed-wing aircraft aerodynamics under extreme conditions such as stall, post-stall, and aerobatic flight
• Minimum 5 years of experience in flight test data analysis and parameter estimation
• Experience in autopilot or control system design using MATLAB & Simulink
• Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB & Simulink
• Solid understanding of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, and control theory
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Good communication skills in English, German is a plus

Advantageous Qualifications

• Experience with C++
• Experience with flight simulator development or integration
• Familiarity with Mixed Reality (MR), Augmented Reality (AR), or Virtual Reality (VR) simulation environments
