Job description
Here at The Exploration Company we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We want you as a talented Senior Simulation Platform Engineer to help us in our mission by revolutionizing our spacecraft testing capabilities through advanced simulation technology
Key Responsibilities
You will be successful in this role if you are able to help us:
- Define and refine the architecture of our simulator platform to ensure optimal performance and scalability.
- Lead discussions with stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure alignment with overall project objectives.
- Evaluate and select the appropriate simulation frameworks and libraries.
- Perform make or buy tradeoffs; collaborate with external partners or vendors to request, evaluate and integrate third-party simulation framework, models or tools.
- Lead the implementation and integration of spacecraft models, including models developed by other teams, into the simulator platform for hardware in the loop (HIL) and software in the loop (SIL) testing.
- Develop and optimize simulation algorithms and models to accurately replicate spacecraft behavior and the environment in a simulated environment.
- Develop tools and interfaces for data visualization and analysis within the simulation environment.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of the simulator platform with other spacecraft subsystems.
- Drive continuous improvement efforts to enhance the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of the simulator platform.
What we would love to see from you
In your capacity as a Senior Simulation Platform Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
- Taking ownership of the simulator platform, including defining its architecture, components, and interfaces.
- Implementing robust simulation algorithms and models to meet performance requirements.
- Defining the technology stack of the simulation platform, including the use of containers such as Docker and ROS2.
- Conducting thorough testing and validation of the simulator platform to ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Providing technical guidance and support to junior engineers and team members.
- Collaborating with system engineers and other teams such as Avionics and GNC to ensure seamless integration of the simulator platform with other spacecraft subsystems.
- Actively participate in system-level tests and provide support for troubleshooting and resolving integration issues.
- Keeping up with industry standards and emerging technologies in simulation
Why you should join us
What makes us special here at The Exploration Company and why we think you will enjoy working here is:
- We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind
- We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them
- We have a lot of Fun - we refuel our energy knowing we are democratising space. It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity, are YOU up for the challenge?
We'd love to hear from you if you wish to be a part of our journey. Please submit your CV now for immediate consideration and we will be in touch shortly.
