Simulation Software Developer (d/m/f)
Job Description:
The A400M is a versatile European tactical airlifter that bridges the gap between traditional transport aircraft and strategic airlift capabilities. It stands as a symbol of industrial excellence and collaborative defense capability.
Be part of this journey and join our team to shape the future of A400M training and development! We develop advanced simulation software for the A400M programme, ranging from high-fidelity Full Flight Simulators (FFS) for pilot training to advanced test facilities for avionics integration and certification. Within the FFS scope, we are currently working on the Block Upgrade 0 to integrate new aircraft functionalities into the training systems. In parallel, we support the A400M Military Test and Support Facility (MTSF) by providing simulation models that enable the verification and certification of avionics at software, equipment, and system levels. Our work ensures that aircraft updates are accurately represented in both training and test environments, utilizing a tech stack centered on C/C++.
As a Software Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of simulation solutions. Your role involves translating high-level operational and system requirements from various stakeholders into robust simulation models. You will design and define simulation interfaces, develop and test complex models, and drive the successful release and deployment of our models, ensuring high-quality delivery and support during customer acceptance.
