Main responsibilities:

1. Simulator Development

• Design and implement a 6-DOF helicopter dynamic model capturing translational and rotational motion.

• Develop aerodynamic models for rotors, fuselage, and stabilizers.

• Implement ground contact logic for hover, landing, and touchdown dynamics.

• Integrate propulsion system and engine models, including governor control and transient torque response.

• Model actuator dynamics (lag, rate limits, saturation) and sensor subsystems (IMU, GPS, air data, radar altimeter, image-based navigation).

• Implement environmental models (standard atmosphere, wind, gusts, turbulence).

1. Integration and Autopilot Interface

• Develop interfaces between the simulator and autopilot control laws (Simulink subsystem or external block).

• Ensure consistent data exchange between sensor models and autopilot inputs, as well as control command routing to actuators.

• Support mission execution logic, including waypoint tracking, hover, climb/descent, and transition phases.

1. Simulation Environment & Tools

• Implement simulation workflows in MATLAB/Simulink ensuring modularity and replaceability of subsystems.

• Develop data logging, visualization, and post-processing tools for performance evaluation and debugging.

• Enable Monte Carlo and parameter sweep simulations for robustness and sensitivity studies.

1. Verification & Validation

• Validate the simulator's steady-state trim and dynamic response using analytical models or flight-test data.

• Perform sensor and environmental model validation per applicable standards.

• Ensure deterministic, reproducible, and traceable simulation results through configuration-controlled data and documentation.

1. Documentation & Future Extensions

• Maintain clear documentation of model assumptions, parameters, and configuration files.

• Contribute to future developments, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) integration, 3D visualization, and FDIR (Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery) extensions.

Required qualifications and experience:

• Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering (Aeronautical, Industrial, Electronics, or Telecommunications).

• Minimum 4 years of experience in engineering projects.

• Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink

• Knowledge of 6-DOF flight dynamics, aerodynamics, and rotorcraft physics.

• Experience with control systems design (PID, LQR, state feedback, etc.).

• Knowledge of sensor and actuator modelling including noise, latency, and failure modes.

• Experience in numerical simulation, data post-processing, and performance analysis.

• Understanding system identification and model validation techniques.

• Basic familiarity with real-time simulation or HIL frameworks (desired but not required).

• Strong analytical thinking, with a structured and rigorous approach to engineering problem-solving

• Excellent communication and documentation skills, with an ability to present clearly to internal and external stakeholders

• Demonstrated ability to work independently and act as a technical authority.

• Fluent in English (oral and written); Spanish and German are an advantage.

Required Software and Tools

• MATLAB/Simulink (required).

• Simscape Multibody, Aerospace Blockset (advantageous).

• Version control (Git, SVN).

• Data visualization and reporting tools.

What we offer:

• Participation in leading international aerospace programs.

• Performance-based evaluation in different projects, including bonuses.

• Excellent salary conditions, commensurate with experience.

• Swiss Permanent contract.

• Highly motivating work environment.

• Being part of the company's growth and expansion. Significant opportunities for professional growth due to the company's rapid expansion.
