• Buildaircraft stability and handling-qualities models, including nonlinear 6-DOF physics-based flight dynamics and environmental effects.
• Design and validateautopilot flight modessuch as takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, landing, and emergency reversion.
• Createhigh-fidelity aircraft plant modelsand digital twin simulations for propulsion, flight controls, power distribution, hydraulics, and environmental systems.
• Performsoftware-in-the-loop (SIL),hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), andpilot-in-the-loopsimulations for verification and validation of control algorithms.
• Support Iron Bird and avionics rack simulation environments for integrated system test and evaluation.
• Conduct mission-level simulation and Monte-Carlo analysis for performance prediction, robustness, reliability, and certification support.
• Work collaboratively with software engineering teams to integrate simulation models with real-time embedded control software.
• Perform data correlation against flight test results to improve fidelity and refine control models.
• Generate technical documentation, validation reports, and certification artifacts aligned with DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, ARP4761, and FAA handling-qualities standards.
