      <Title>Senior Engineer, Aeronautical Modeling &amp; Simulation</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>The Software Integration &amp; Operations group turns frontier autonomy into mission-ready aircraft. We own the commit-to-flight pipeline,deterministic aircraft and mission simulation, HIL/VIL integration, CI/CD, automated flight qualification testing, and release engineering. Our goal is simple: make AI fly,safely, repeatably, and fast.</p>
<p>As a Modeling &amp; Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for improving and adding to our world and aeronautical models so that our operator training and internal engineering pipelines have a seamless translation from sim to real results.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop and enhance aeronautical physics models (aerodynamics, propulsion, environmental, structural, etc.) for use in simulation and evaluation.</li>
<li>Translate theoretical models into efficient, reliable C++ implementations with a focus on numerical accuracy and performance.</li>
<li>Validate models against real-world data and authoritative references, including field test data and calibration procedures.</li>
<li>Collaborate with simulation and training application teams to ensure models integrate cleanly into operator-facing tools.</li>
<li>Design automated validation and regression testing strategies for mathematical models to ensure fidelity across releases.</li>
<li>Prototype and evaluate new modeling techniques (reduced-order models, uncertainty quantification, machine learning–based surrogates) to push the state of the art.</li>
<li>Document assumptions, equations, and validation results so that both engineers and operators can trust model outputs.</li>
</ul>
